If your home has been flooded, you have high moisture content under your home, or if you suspect you have mold in your walls or anywhere in your home, Call B & T Pest Control Co. a locally licensed and insured Pest Control CO. A Licensed & Insured Pest Control Licensee had training and certification approved by the state to use only EPA registered products. Mold / fungi and decay fungi can be serious problems for any structure that has been damaged by water. Wood Decay fungi can literally destroy the materials on which they grow on. In addition to property damage, mold can also cause environmental and health problems. The active ingredient in Bora Care / Mold-Care is a powerful industrial disinfectant, like that used to sanitize restaurants and hospitals. This disinfectant has been formulated by Nisus to be used with Bora-Care for even greater performance against other wood destroying organisms, including termites (subterranean, Formosan, drywood), carpenter ants and wood boring beetles.Bora-Care is a borate-based insecticide, termiticide and fungicide that is applied directly to wood by Pest Management Professionals (PMPs). Once applied, Bora-Care penetrates the wood and kills and prevents:

• Decay fungi (wet and dry rot)

• Algae

• Subterranean Termites

• Formosan Termites

• Drywood Termites

• Carpenter Ants

• Powder post Beetles

• Anobiid Beetles

• Old House Borers

• Longhorned Beetles

Once all sheet rock has been removed and the home has been dried, professional pest management companies can apply Bora-Care to all structural wood and any other building material surfaces, which can include concrete, block walls, plumbing pipes, OSB, plywood and sheet rock. When PMPs) apply Bora-Care to structural wood, they are protecting the home both now and in the future because when Bora-Care treated wood gets wet, Bora-Care effectively stops wood decay until the wood has time to dry. Bora-Care’s patented glycol formula not only penetrates wood, but because the active ingredient, Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate (DOT), is a natural mineral salt, once it penetrates the wood, it remains for the life of the wood, protecting it against wood destroying organisms, including wood decay fungi, subterranean termites, Formosan termites, drywood termites, carpenter ants and wood boring beetles.

The Science behind Mold Care
Mold-Care is the only EPA-registered product that will both kill and prevent mold. Combined with Bora-Care, it also kills and prevents decay fungi and wood destroying insects that share the same conducive conditions and actually cause much more damage.

Mold-Care is a specific quaternary ammonium compound called diecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (a cationic surfactant). This is negatively charged and has both a hydrophobic and hydrophilic component so that it ruptures mold and bacteria cell membranes. These compounds are actively used in hospitals as well as in the beer and food industries as sanitizers.
Use Mold-Care instead of other products which either have no EPA registration and can actually cause fungal decay and structural failure or which can off-gas poisonous components in wall voids and hot attics.

Bora-Care with Mold-Care Mold-Care is the industry’s leading weapon against mold. It acts as a surface protectant, killing all forms of fungi, while sanitizing and disinfecting the treated area. Bora-Care is the industry’s leading borate-based wood preservative, rendering treated wood impervious to termites and other wood destroying insects, as well as wood decay fungi. It actually penetrates into the wood where it delivers residual protection for years. When used together, Bora-Care and Bora-Care with Mold-Care create a highly effective, residual solution to insects and mold. And Bora-Care with Mold-Care comes with a 25-year warranty for you as the pest control company. (There are guidelines to qualify for the warranty, so read the BoraShield™ warranty section to learn details.)

As you can see in this picture, half of this wood was treated with Bora-Care with Mold-Care and half was left untreated. The wood was placed in a mold incubator for six months. Mold will not grow on the treated side, while the untreated side is covered with mold.
