Testimonials
7-10-09. Dr. Tim Yoho, I am pleased to endorse your product. As an Entomologist, I had tried many methods of ridding my log home of carpenter bees and carpenter ants. Every year I sprayed a variety of insecticides which usually controlled the ants, but not the bees since they were in overwhelming numbers and favored the 20+ feet heights of the house where they were difficult to spray. The bees had damaged my eave overhangs of the house so badly; I had to cover the wood with vinyl.
I mixed your NBS 30 additive with Sikikens Stain four years ago after I stripped the old stain from the logs. In those four years, I have found only a single carpenter bee entrance hole and that was behind a drain pipe that was not properly coated with the stain NBS 30 mix. The carpenter bees came back every year, but were repelled!... This 4th year I have purchased more NBS 30 and plan to mix it with a clear maintenance coat of Sikkens for application to the logs.
Thank you for such a great product!

10-2-06. Jennifer W., Clermont, GA. "We just stained our house and added NBS 30. It smells GREAT. I sure wish we'd known about this before."
6-14-06. Robert E. Wichita, KS. "I'm very impressed with the results of this product."
3-21-07. Greg L., Lake City, FL. "I am writing to tell you what a great product you have in NBS 30. We live in Florida and I treated our paint-job with your additive in the Spring of 2005. We're still bug free two years later."
3-24-08. Stephen M., Colorado Springs, CO. " I like this approach to insect management. Its been very effective and we don't have to worry about poisons or insecticides harming our children or pets. We use it every year or so in our deck stain."
3-27-08. Steve K., Cooke County TX. "In July of 2006 I mixed NBS 30 in 12 gallons of Sherwin Williams Super Paint. The paint was applied to the exterior of our North Texas farm home. My wife and I have not had to remove a single wasp or dirt dauber nest from our home since we applied the NBS 30. I would recommend your product to anyone who has a problem with nest building insects around their homes."
2-11-08. Don R., Reelfoot Lake, TN. "NBS 30 works!! I repaired and re-stained a storage building on my mother's property in early 2005. Every spring prior to then, I've taken a few days to help mother with repairs around the old home place. I replaced rotten soffit and fascia every year until I discovered NBS 30 and Outlast Q8 Log Oil. I also used it on a bench that was a real target for bees. We've not had one carpenter bee hole anywhere since that last stain application."
3-24-08. Smokey Bear, Ely, WI. (We called to ask if Smokey would give a testimonial on CTA products) He said, "I give CTA a testimonial everyday. I'm a log home restoration contractor and have used a lot of products and I know what to expect from them. I tell ALL OF MY CUSTOMERS that the BEST product on the market is - CTA's Outlast Q8 Log Oil."
