Jecta Injectable Borate is manufactured by Nisus Corporation and is termiticide, insecticide and fungicide that kills and controls termites, wood destroying beetles, carpenter ants and decaying fungi.
This product contains the same active ingredient as the popular wood treatment product BoraCare. But Jecta is unique in that it absorbs and spreads through wood in structures where traditional BoraCare cannot be applied.
For wood that has been painted, stained or is not easily accessible, Jecta is the perfect product.
Tools Needed
Jecta comes ready to use in a tube that can be loaded into a caulking gun style applicator. You may also need a drill to drill holes into wood where you want to inject Jecta.
How to Use
- Step 1: Observe areas of the home for wood that is damaged or in need of treatment. These include areas where there is moist wood remains or is subject to frequent wetting, or wood in contact with the ground or soil.
- Step 2: Begin measuring the dimensions of the wood desired to be treated. Drill holes at a downward angle using charts on label to determine length and diameter of holes.
- Step 3: Inject Jecta through any wood surface coating and into voids, checks, cracks, pre-drilled holes, or injection sleeves designed for this purpose.
- Step 4: After injecting Jecta into the holes, seal with cork, plugs or wood putty. Wipe any excess product with damp cloth or sponge.
Where to Use
Jecta was designed to be used in areas that BoraCare cannot easily be used in such as flooring and foundation systems; window and door frames; exterior steps porches and decks; roof trim and soffits; infested or susceptible support beams; porches and garages; fence posts; pilings and piers; log construction utility poles; railroad ties.
When to Use
Use Jecta when you have noticed woody decay, fungi or damage or have discovered areas vulnerable to termite infestation.
Safety Information
Jecta has a low toxicity and is pet safe when used as directed. Please wear the proper PPE when applying Jecta in and around your home or structure.
Special Considerations
While Jecta is a solid product for treating termites, it shouldn't be looked at as a lone product to address a termite infestation but should be a complementary item in a termite control program which includes termiticide concentrates and aerosol sprays.

| Keith's Pro Tips | "Jecta is used in essentially the same way caulk is used with a caulking gun. In order to make it easy to reapply the product in high-risk areas, plug the injection site with a piece of cork, rubber, wood, caulk or an injection sleeve. The use of injection sleeves allows for easier, repeat applications." |
| Product Drawbacks | Should not be viewed as a lone product for termite control. |
| Target Pests | Jecta eliminates subterranean, formosan, dampwood,drywood termites as well as carpenter ants, borers, fungi (white rot, brown rot and dry roll), powderpost and anobiid beetles. For more target pests please refer to the label. |

Jecta is easy to use
When I discovered dryrot and termites in the exposed ends of glue lams on our house (new in 1991) I realized paint wasn't the answer. Researched effective treatments and learned of borate treatment. Found this company and have used up one tube and bought a second. Drill some holes, inject the solution, put a plug on it and finish. Pretty simple. Wished we had done so when first installed.

Excellent product
Easy to use. All you need is a caulking gun. Perfect to inject under painted surfaces where topical sprays won't penetrate. I highly recommend this product.

Questions and Answers

Q:what diameter drill bit do you use to make holes?12/21/20A:like a caulking tube depends upon how far down you cut the tip; I don't think the holes can be very narrow and deep -- won't squeeze in

Q:Can this be used on compressed wood?4/14/20A:this has to be injected into multiple holes and can only travel so far; I question whether it pass beyond any type of glue or lamination; I would check with the tech department of the manufacturer.

Q:No instructions for use- should I poke a hole in it or cut off the mouth?5/23/19A:Just cut the tip off and use the cap to reseal. Tip: If you don't use all of the product, store it tip down. The cylinder plunger leaks if stored upright. Good luck.

Q:Where can I get injection sleeves for this product?8/28/18A:We just used a regular calk gun. It was a bit runny, but it worked. It saved my wooden desk.

Q:Is this a gel?7/22/18A:It's gel-like and an alternative to liquid-based Boracare.
Camille Landry
7/24/18Certified Buyer -
Q:Is this good for roaches ?5/3/18A:No, this is used to treat wood, it is injected into wood and the borate will then absorb into the wood making it indigestible to wood destroying insects, such as termites. If you want something for roaches then I would recommend taking a look at our roach control section, we have products and guides. https://www.solutionsstores.com/roaches

Q:Can I use this product along baseboards where the board meets tile flooring. There are gaps between the flooring at tile grout lines every 6 to 12 inches.3/4/17A:You can use the Jecta to inject into the unfinished wood. This is a wood preservative and is meant to be installed into the wood.

Q:The picture shown on the Amazon website shows three tubes of Jecta. They appear to have their own plunger. On your own website it shows just one tube and it appears to be a tube that would go into a caulking gun. If I order from Amazon, what will I get?8/28/16A:I have never seen jecta with it's on plunger this is meant to be used with a caulk gun and and it is for one tube.
