Dear Leslie;
Bora-care is a cheap way to treat wood. It is a low toxicity boric acid based
concentrate that would need to be mixed(there are ratios on the label for
control pests and life stages) and sprayed by a professional in most areas.
Dries clear. Once dry you can paint and stain over it. We tried the leave it in
plastic thing here and it failed to get the core of wood up to temp even after
baking in the Virginia July heat so mileage may vary with those attempts. A
kiln would work if you can pick up the wood pretty quickly after it comes out
of the kiln. One false hope and misconception is buying kiln dried wood from a
mill as it is then placed outside on open racks with only roofs covering the
wood in 99.9% of mills and it sits and then can become re-infested. Good luck.

Yes, but it needs to get to about 150 deg. Use black plastic to absorb the
heat. If the weather is not cooperating, see if you can find a lumber company
with a a wood kiln. OR - if the budget allows, get a “warming oven” from a
restaurant supply house. This will get to the correct temperature. This is the
kind of warming oven that caters use, on wheels and about5-6 feet high. It can
also be used for conditioning silica gel. You might be able to rent one.
Let me know if you need more info, and I will send you info when I am
at a computer.

Will the fence start as raw wood and then be painted, stained, or finished?

Dear Leslie;
Wapping the fence in black plastic sheet and l keeping under a sunny day might
to be the fastest, cheapest and practical way .( heating treatment) .

Hello all,
My museum is developing an exhibit and the designer would like to fabricate
wooden fencing as part of the exhibit entrance. What would be the recommended
pre-treatment of such fencing wood so as to eliminate any potential pests?
Would low-temperature, anoxic or chemical treatment work best? Does anyone
have experience with this?
Thanks for your advice, wisdom and insight.
~ Leslie
