Re: CSOT Borax and termites
Tony, Make the borax and water in a gallon jug, shake very well. let it settle, and then just pour off what you can into your spray bottle.

CSOT Borax and termites
Borax might kill termites too, there's Borate treatment used by a few exterminators. After doing some searching, I read that one can mix Boric acid with propylene glycol (biodegradable form of anti-freeze), the glycol helps to saturate the wood. I was wondering if anyone knows what I could substitute for the propylene glycol to make it more environmentally safe. Sharlene
