Bamboo needs to be thoroughly treated in order to protect it from insects and mold. The powder post beetle is especially problematic. Without the right protection, you risk huge problems and liabilities down the line.

At TBT, we have a special system of pressure treating our bamboo. This system is proprietary and therefore unique in the industry. We use a non-toxic boron which is 100% effective at eliminating insects, yet is safe and non-toxic to humans and animals. We are so confident in our superior pressure treatment system that we guarantee it against insect damage.

Please be aware that other methods used to kill powder post beetle (such as boiling) are ineffective because the core of the bamboo can only be consistently penetrated all the way through by using pressure treatment.

Many other companies claim to pressure treat their bamboo, however the quality of this pressure treatment is often questionable. Think your current supplier's bamboo is properly pressure treated? We're happy to test a sample for you. Just contact us to make arrangements.
