Boron wood preservative?
With one minor problem, boron is an exceptional wood preservative. It will kill any insect. It' is completely non-toxic to humans, and it even makes wood fire-retardant. The minor problem is that it leaches out of the wood when the wood gets wet. Boron is used in four processes. First is SillBor--a pressure treatment for sill plates in walls, intended to keep bugs from eating the sill plates. Second is fire retardant treatment, which is done by at least Columbia Wood Products--a big manufacturer of hardwood plywood. Third is the treatment they apply to wood-frame windows, and finally there is Copper Boron Azole pressure-treatment. The azole group locks the boron into the wood.
