Any course of action on this, I'm having a relative issue. I tried to change things and this is what happened.

In response to How do you know that this technology works?
Can you speak about the resistance to, fungi, bacteria, or other elements that can prevent long term sustainability of the solution?
Hello Amir, thank you for your question. Indeed, resistance to fungi, bacteria, but also termites, and beetles is necessary to preserve the quality of the bamboo structure. For that reason, we are using Bambusa Tuda Roxbo, which is a type of bamboo that naturally has a low cellulose content (which is the main source of nutrition for termites and beetles). Furthermore, after years of using conventional treatment techniques which involve boric acid, borax, and a catalyst (which are all chemicals that are imported from Thailand), we decided to start testing locally sourced and green techniques for treatment. We are now using neem tree leaves, extracting the oil from the leaf, and, at the right temperature and concentration, it treats the bamboo very well against insects and fungi. As a result, we don't need to rely on foreign imports, we reduce the carbon footprint of the house, and can reduce the cost of production while preserving the quality of the construction.
