How I can eliminate the bamboo borers inside a restaurant?

If the bamboo doesn't have a finish on it's outer facing side, simple spray or "paint" it with Boracare. I've been involved with doing this treatment it's very easy to do. I've also seen where the bamboo is attached to the wall and can be removed because it's actually in squares like tiles or paneling. Once removed, the back side can be treated.

Another method I've seen done is by mixing up in the Boracare in a tub and then dunking the bamboo in it for a few minutes to let the treatment penetrate. This is highly effective.

Lastly, spraying it down with some Phantom can prove effective since bamboo is very thin. In most cases aerosols won't help but with bamboo, it's a viable option.
