Eliminates the need to coordinate schedules with cement companies and our office because Hulett’s BORA-CARE pretreatment is applied during the dried-in phase of construction.

Your crews will no longer be required to leave the job site. With conventional pretreatments workers are required by law to leave the site and stay away until the application is complete. However, with Hulett’s BORA-CARE pretreatment your crews can keep on working.

Eliminates weather delays. Conventional pretreatments require application to dry ground after the footers are ready to pour. Hulett’s BORA-CARE pretreatment 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 pretreatment with BORA-CARE as a primary tool against termites in new home construction.

Hulett’s BORA-CARE pretreatment 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.

Pretreatments with BORA-CARE near water sources are of no concern. With conventional pretreatments, there’s the chance of chemicals leaching into nearby water sources. Hulett’s BORA-CARE pretreatments only treat the wood and therefore offer less risk.

Hulett’s BORA-CARE pretreatments are environmentally conscious and popular with consumers. We no longer have to pump hundreds of gallons of termiticides into the soil in order to keep termites out. Hulett’s BORA-CARE is a low-odor termiticide 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 @ www.nateval.org.

Excavation and landscaping do not affect Hulett’s BORA-CARE pretreatment. However, with conventional pretreatments leaky water lines, landscaping, or other digging could break the soil termiticide barrier; rendering some liquid pretreatments ineffective by the time the house is completed.
