I know that a similar product (Armor Guard) was discontinued, so I wonder if there is any correlation.

The polyethylene glycol penetrates the wood gradually but completely if applied properly, carrying the borates with it into the wood. The treatment stops most of the infestation the first year, and in our case all of it by the second year. Timbor is another commercial product used for this purpose. Richard L.

They have yet not responded to repeated standard fumigation, anoxia and injection treatments, mainly due to lack of access. The life cycle seems to be between 4-5 years before becoming fast-growing adults. Please do not ask his name, as I have had inconsistent identifications, but life is certainly there as fresh saw dust is produced repeatedly and in high quantity. The now suggested method is to uses microwaves (frequencies between 300 MHz (0.3 GHz) and 300 GHz) set to heat up to 60 deg. C. Thank you for your help on this as timber is not my specific field of knowledge.
