Bora-Care Pre-Treatment

The Long-term Solution To Wood Destroying Organisms

There are many different pre-treatment methods available today, but what technique is best for the builder? Hulett's BORA-CARE Pre-treatment saves precious time, is not weather dependent, keeps crews working, and saves the builder worry and money!

Here are just a few of the benefits of Hulett's BORA-CARE Pretreatment:

• Saves you a full day of cycle time.
• Eliminates the need to coordinate schedules with cement companies and our office because Hulett's BORA-CARE Pre-treatment is applied during the dried-in phase of construction.
• Your crews will no longer be required to leave the job site. With Conventional Liquid Pre-treatments, workers are required by law to leave the site and stay away until the application is complete. However, with Hulett's BORA-CARE Pre-treatment your crews can keep on working.
• Eliminates weather delays. Conventional Liquid Pre-treatments require application to dry ground after the footers are ready to pour. Hulett's BORA-CARE Pre-treatment is applied directly to the interior walls up to 2-feet above the slab.
• HUD's change in policy provides alternatives to builders. In 1999, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development changed its 99-A form to allow direct wood pre-treatment with BORA-CARE as a primary tool against termites in new home construction.
• Hulett's BORA-CARE Pre-treatment has proven to be effective for more than 10 years. Studies at the Harrison Experimental Forest and Mississippi State University’s Forest Products laboratory showed that it not only repelled termites, but also prevented Subterranean termites from tubing over wood.
• Pre-treatments with BORA-CARE near water sources are of no concern. With Conventional Liquid Pre-treatments, there’s the chance of products leaching into nearby water sources. Hulett's BORA-CARE Pre-treatments only treat the wood and therefore offer less risk.
• Hulett's BORA-CARE Pre-treatments are environmentally conscious and popular with consumers. We no longer have to pump hundreds of gallons of product into the soil in order to keep termites out. Hulett's BORA-CARE is a low-odor product that’s applied directly to the wood; answering the concerns of homeowners who are demanding an alternative to conventional treatments.
• BORA-CARE is within building code compliance. The National Evaluation Service Committee found that BORA-CARE complies with or is a suitable alternate to that specified in the 2000 International Building Code (including 2001 supplement). See NES Report # NER-617 at www.nateval.org.
• Excavation and landscaping do not affect Hulett's BORA-CARE Pre-treatment. However, with Conventional Liquid Pre-treatments leaky water lines, landscaping, or other digging could break the soil termiticide barrier; rendering some Conventional Liquid Pre-treatments ineffective by the time the house is completed.
