Nisus Tim-BOR Professional Insecticidal Dust, Water-Soluble Borate Powder, Wood Preservative and Fungicide for Termites, Carpenter Ants, Wood Decay, 1.5 lbs

This is the second purchase of Timbor for me. It treats and protects as promised. Last purchase was for an outdoor table and it is still big and fungus free tears after treatment. This is going to be used on rafters and beams in a shed. Great value. Great product. Will purchase again when the need arises. Follow the directions and you cannot go wrong. Low odor and no noticable smell after applying.

Good package and good price.

great and effective termite killer.

Decent product though we have only just applied it so cannot vouch for how it performs over time yet. Dont know why but every tub of powder was packaged in the box upside down. May not be a huge deal but a bit risky if box were dropped - though perhaps the tub would split regardless. Application was easy with backpack sprayer. Did not alter the finish of our pine logs (log home) and rails. Created a fine crystalline texture but not an issue - stained right over it once dry. Will update review once I have some time on this batch! Update after 12 months (5-20-2015) - We had no viable activity on the home prior to treatment and nothing in the 12 months following. We did however just catch a bumble bee in action drilling some sizable holes in a treated post. There is sawdust residue down the post showing activity. The product does not claim to treat for Bees so I cannot complain but it was impressive to see this guy at work. I will next be using a tub or two to treat a barn with considerable powder post beetle damage. Plan is to cease future damage and then make repairs as needed. Will post an update on this ongoing project!

Great item and price, well packed. Arrived as scheduled. Haven't used it yet. Will review after three months

We were doing some termite repairs on our wood deck, and I wanted to treat the wood for termites so we wouldn't have to do it again. This is what the termite pros often use to treat the wood in your house to keep the termites away. 1 package mixes with 1 gallon of water, and you apply it with a garden sprayer. Wear a mask; you don't want to be breathing the stuff. But you'll breathe a litle easier knowing you're less likely to get termites, and you spent a tiny fraction of what the termite company would charge.

Used it to kill termites in the kitchen cabinet before painting. Prepared a 15% water solution and sprayed inside the cabinets. waited 2 days to dry and then painted the cabinets. So far it has been two weeks and no sign of termite activities as determined by wood powders on the shelves.

Been using this for years and it seems to do the job.
