Your customers areasking for it, plus you can earn green building points by using a green new construction treatment fortermites. Bottom line: It’s good for your business and the environment.This guide shows you how to maximize green points by using Bora-Care as your green new constructiontermite treatment, what “green” means when it comes to termite treatments and why you, as a builder, willgain an advantage by using Bora-Care for your termite treatment.Contents U .S.

10 Reasons WhyBora-Care is THE green choiceTHE ONLY BORATE-BASED PRODUCT WITH ESSENTIAL PRODUCT-SPECIFIC EFFICACY ALLOWED AS A PRIMARYTERMITE BARRIER NEW CONSTRUCTION TREATMENT IT’S THE PERFECT GREEN SOLUTION FOR TERMITES1Bora-Care wood treatments eliminate the need to pump termiticides into the ground. Thereis virtually no risk of contamination of soil, rivers, lakes or aquifers.2Green builders using Bora-Care have eliminated more than 120 million gallons of dilutedtermiticide from being applied to the soil across the U.S.3Builders can earn points in green building programs by using Bora-Care, including LEED forHomes, NGBS Green Product Certification Program , EarthCraft and many others.4Bora-Care penetrates the wood and remains in the wood, providing years of long‑term,sustainable residual protection.5Bora-Care saves water. Soil termiticides require large amounts of water for dilution. UsingBora-Care can save 200-300 gallons of water per average-size home.6The element boron is found throughout nature and may be essential to the health of allliving plants and animals.7Mammals, birds, fish and reptiles can all excrete excess ingested boron, so it has littleeffect on these non-target organisms; however insects cannot process boron in the sameway. As a result, boron accumulates in their systems and interferes with their ability toconvert food sugars into energy, leading to starvation. This unique quality makes boratesthe perfect green solution for targeting termites.8Bora-Care treated wood provides protection from subterranean, Formosan and drywoodtermites as well as wood boring beetles, carpenter ants and wood decay fungi. It alsoprovides general pest protection by making the treated wood areas uninhabitable by pestssuch as cockroaches.9Bora-Care emits no VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).10Nisus provides a 30-year damage replacement warrantyto your pest company when homes are registered underour program and inspected annually.Contact Chip Hughes Specialty and Builder Sales904.910.8289 chiph@nisuscorp.com3

Termite TechnologyBuilders are Switching to Bora-Care’s Innovative Termite TechnologyBuilders across the country are switchingtheir termite new construction treatments to Bora-Care , atermiticide that is sprayed on the wood instead of pumpedinto the ground. As both a time- and money-saver, Bora-Care offerssignificant advantages to builders over old-stylesoil termiticides. A full day of cycle time savingsis the primary factor driving this move, as wellas the current trend toward green buildingpractices.product-specific field efficacy testing. Pest control companies applyit directly to the wood and concrete on walls, subfloors, sill plates,piers and expansion joints, and around pipe chases and plumbingprotrusions. This creates a continuous barrier that termites cannotcross and eliminates wood as a food source.Treated wood is also protected againstother wood destroying organisms suchas carpenter ants, wood boring beetlesand decay fungi.Bora-Care offers the stability and reliabilitywhich builders find missing in soil termitetreatments. A study conducted in Mississippishowed that soil termiticides can break downby 50% or more in just one year (Mulrooneyet al, 2006). But with a single applicationdone according to label directions, Bora‑Carepenetrates into wood, preventing infestationand delivering years of long-term residualprotection.Treatments with Bora‑Care can even qualify abuilder to earn green building points in manyprograms, including: NGBS Green Product CertificationProgram: : 2-6 points EarthCraft : 1-6 points LEED for Homes: 1 pointMany states offer similar green buildingprograms as well.Builders Save Time and MoneyBora-Care new construction treatments give builders more scheduleflexibility and control. They simply remove many of the commonscheduling and performance problems builders encounter with old-stylesoil poisons.Bora-Care vs. Old Fashioned MethodsEnvironmental issues are critical to homeowners, making Bora-Careappealing to concerned builders. Traditional soil treatments pump200 to 300 gallons of diluted termiticide under and around an averagehouse. Bora-Care conserves water; it only uses 2–3 gallons perhouse. And because it is applied directly to wood, concrete, andfoundation penetrations, there is virtually no danger of chemicalrun-off. Furthermore, Bora-Care’s active ingredient is a natural boratemineral salt with a low mammalian toxicity, yet it is still deadly toinsect pests. And Bora‑Care emits no VOCs (“Volatile OrganicCompounds”).Bora-Care has shown no compatibility issues with any type of pipingsystems. In addition, Bora‑Care will not corrode metal fasteners,fittings or nails. Many soil termiticides can cause damage tosome piping systems, resulting in expensive post-constructionrepairs.Soil termiticides break down quickly and can leave gaps. Thesoil termiticide barrier can easily be broken during excavation andlandscaping. Bora-Care creates a continuous barrier directly on thewood and concrete, not in the surrounding soil.A True New Construction Termite Treatment—Not Just a Monitoring SystemBaiting systems also pose problems, and termites can easily bypassthem altogether. More importantly, if the homeowners don’t want topay the annual fees, the stations are removed and the home is leftwithout any termite protection.Bora-Care saves builders a day of cycle time. Treatment is notweather-dependent, allowing builders to move forward regardless ofconditions. Because Bora-Care is applied during the dried-in phase ofconstruction, there is no need to coordinate pest control companiesand cement companies. Bora-Care’s ease of application allows PMPsto increase the number of houses they can treat in a day, which in turnincreases the builders’ schedule flexibility.Proven ResultsIn addition to EPA registration, Bora‑Care wood treatments areHUD allowed and listed for use under the 2006 InternationalResidential Code, Section R320 Protection Against SubterraneanTermites. Bora-Care also meets the sill plate end-cut requirementsfor pressure treated lumber set by building codes and the AmericanWood-Preservers’ Association.An independent 12-year study in Mississippi by the USDA and a secondindependent 5-year study in Florida by Mississippi State University’sForest Products Department demonstrated that wood treated withBora-Care repelled termite attacks and prevented subterraneantermites from tubing over treated wood. Additional tests by LouisianaState University showed that Bora-Care applied to concrete surfacesprevents Formosan termite tubing.What is Bora-Care?Bora-Care is an EPA-registered termiticide manufactured by NisusCorporation.
