Hello Kevin — The ‘boric acid’ referred to is actually a borate based product- rather than straight boric acid. I use both Penetreat and Timbor which are borate based products made specifically for this purpose.

Hi…Bearfort…What a GREAT WEBSITE.. I was looking for a homebrew recipe to treat my house underneath on the sill & floor joist ends lying on the sill.What would you recommend as a fungicide & wood preservate.I think i have caught the wet rot before having to do extensive repairs.This will be underneath the living area so i assume it would be safe to use there.I would like to apply it by using a tank sprayer.i would appreciate a comment & the recipe you would recommend for this project. I only need to treat about 35 ft.
