As cited in our article on POWDERPOST BEETLE CONTROL, the BORACARE would be the best option. It will both penetrate and last a good long time. By penetrating, you'll impregnate the wood with a treatment that will prevent future generations of the current population from using the wood for food. By lasting a good long time, you won't have to reapply it again since the wood will be used inside.

Lastly, since Boracare is boron based, it's very safe to use inside the home where people and pets may be present. Odorless and easy to apply, it poses no hazard when applied properly as explained in our PRODUCT SAFETY VIDEO.
