JECTA (tm)

CONTROLS

  • Termites

  • Wood-Destroying Insects

  • Decay Fungi

JECTA Diffusible Boracide is highly concentrated to provide a long lasting reservoir of active borate ingredient to protect wood particularly in high risk or moist areas.

JECTA is recommended for treating wood in contact with the ground or soil, where wood remains moist or is subject to frequent wetting. JECTA will eliminate existing termite and fungal infestations, and provide residual protection. JECTA contains 40% by weight disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, a combination of borax and boric acid formulated in a patented carrier system which facilitates rapid penetration throughout wood of any moisture content. JECTA is particularly suited for treatment of wood which is coated with a water-repellent finish or is in ground contact, such as fence posts and utility poles. It is not necessary to remove any wood finish prior to injection of JECTA. If any wood member's structural integrity has been reduced to the extent that repair or replacement is necessary, repairs and/or replacement should be made. JECTA does not add structural integrity to previously damaged wood. (See epoxies for woods) JECTA is designed for application to wood by injection into voids, checks, cracks, or pre-drilled holes. In order to facilitate re-application in high risk areas, an injection valve should be used to seal the injection site. The use of injection valves allows for easier, subsequent applications of JECTA. Injection sites may be placed in either a staggered, linear, or angled pattern. Depending on the general moisture level of the wood, the time intervals between re-application will vary.

If you prefer to use JECTA topically, read about the JECTA Wrap Method.

JECTA may be used in conjunction with Impel Rods to protect wood. Holes for IMPEL Rod insertion should be drilled slightly larger than normal, in order to accommodate the JECTA.

5 cc of JECTA will treat 1 board foot.
