Decay Fungi Decay fungi, Brown Rot, Poria spp., White Rot and Wet Rots are all killed on contact with Board Defense. Where moisture problems provide good breeding conditions for fungi, Board Defense can be used as an excellent wood preservative against future infection or colonization. Beetles Beetle eggs deposited on the surface of Board Defense treated wood will have a reduced hatch rate and any larvae that does hatch will soon die from attempting to eat the treated wood. Additionally, beetle larvae already infesting wood will ingest Board Defense as they tunnel to the surface of treated wood and pupate. Beetles may emerge but will not reinfest the treated wood. Carpenter Ants Carpenter ants cause rapid and devastating damage by excavating wood for nesting. Board Defense treated wood is very unpalatable and carpenter ants will not excavate it. When used as a dust, Board Defense can be placed in nesting sites, around wall voids, across conduit and around plumbing to control carpenter ants. Board Defense adheres to the pest’s body and is ingested as the ant attempts to clean the powder off. It also acts as a desiccant and can break the exoskeleton and dehydrate other insects.
Cockroaches, Ants, Silverfish, Crickets, etc. Board Defense is also effective against other general pests. As a powder Board Defense can be directly applied to insect harborage areas or in a solution as a crack and crevice treatment. As the insects crawl through treated areas, the Board Defense adheres to the insect’s body. The tiny particles are then ingested as the pest attempts to clean the powder from its antennae and legs.
