Borate treated wood is on the rise as a safe and long-lasting method to protect
homes from wood destroying organisms. There are several types of borate wood
preservatives used to treat solid wood, engineered wood composites and other
interior building products like studs, plywood, joists and rafters.
Borate treated wood has been used successfully for more than 50 years in New
Zealand, for a decade in Hawaii - specifically to combat the voracious and
highly destructive Formosan subterranean termite - and increasingly throughout
the mainland United States. Borates prevent fungal decay and are deadly to
termites, carpenter ants and roaches - but safe for people, pets and the
environment. Borates interfere with termites' metabolic pathways when ingested
through feeding or grooming, effectively killing them. Surviving termites avoid
the protected wood products.
