[papercreters] Fire retardant

I was watching an episode of holmes on homes and they were using a green insulation made from old blue jeans that was soaked in a boric acid solution then allowed to dry. They stated that no matter how many times it where to get wet then dry it would never mold and would not catch fire. That termites, mice, rats, roof rats ect. find it an unsuitable living environment and would not every live in this home.

This sounds like a win win for papercreters. Does anyone know or have an educated guess as to what the boric acid solution needs to be to be effective?
