Jecta Injectable Borate, manufactured by Nisus Corporation, is a termiticide, insecticide, and fungicide that kills and controls termites, wood-destroying beetles, carpenter ants, and decay fungi.
This product contains the same active ingredient as the popular wood treatment product BoraCare. However, Jecta is unique because 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
This product 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 the wood where you want to inject Jecta.
How to Use
- Step 1: Observe areas of the home that are damaged or in need of treatment. These include areas where 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 a label to determine the length and diameter of the 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 them with cork, plugs, or wood putty. Wipe any excess product with a damp cloth or sponge.
Where to Use
Jecta was designed to be used in areas that BoraCare cannot quickly access, 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, and railroad ties.
When to Use
Use Jecta when you notice woody decay, fungi, or damage or when you discover areas vulnerable to termite infestation.
Safety Information
Jecta Injectable Borate is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when applying this product.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Special Considerations
While Jecta is a solid product for treating termites, it shouldn't be considered a lone product to address a termite infestation. Still, it should be a complementary item in a termite control program, which includes termiticide concentrates and aerosol sprays.

| Keith's Pro Tips | "Jecta is essentially the same as caulk, which is used with a caulking gun. 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." |
