Jecta offers the same advantages and features that Bora-Care delivers. Like Bora-Care, Jecta’s unique patented blend of glycols in combination with its borate active ingredient controls and prevents termites, wood decay fungi and other pests. Once Jecta penetrates throughout the wood, it remains there, protecting the materials from invading pests.
The active ingredient in Jecta is the same as that in the liquid form of Bora-Care: a borate salt. Borate salts work by taking advantage of a unique feature in the biology of termites, ants and other pests. If ingested by target pests such as carpenter ants, beetles or termites, the pest becomes unable to extract nutrition from its food and starves to death. And because of this unique mode of action, insects cannot develop a resistance, ever.

| Active Ingredients: | Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate, 40% |
| Product Documents: | Jecta Label Jecta SDS |
| Target Problems: | Wood-destroying insects |
| Areas Of Use: | Use Jecta Diffusible Boracide in areas where wood decay or insects are present or in high-risk areas vulnerable to infestation, such as wood that remains moist or is subject to frequent wetting, or wood that is in contact with the ground or soil. Examples include: Exterior Steps, Porches and Decks – where damage may be found in columns, railings, floors and support members. Roof Trim and Soffits – especially fascia boards supporting gutter systems and soffits; where wood is in contact with skylights, vents, flashing or chimneys and wherever excessive moisture is found. Attics and Roofing – where leaks may cause decay damage to support members and rafters. Porches and Garages – where wood contacts concrete slabs or brick walls are adjacent to dirt filled porches. The base of garage door frames, for example, is particularly susceptible to infestation by decay, termites and carpenter ants. Fence Posts, Pilings and Piers – apply within six inches of the ground line as well as the top of the post and into existing cracks and crevices. Log Construction – in any decayed or susceptible areas or where a water repellent finish is present such as corners, joints, ends and lower courses; and especially into upward facing cracks and checks that allow water entry. Apply directly into beetle emergence holes and carpenter ant galleries. Utility Poles – in susceptible areas such as at the groundline and where cross-arms are attached. Use wherever an active infestation is present or where preventative maintenance is desired. Railroad Ties (Sleepers) – adjacent to rail plates, in cracks and checks where water accumulates, and in any infested or susceptible area. |
| Application: | 1. Measure the dimensions and length of the zone of wood to be treated. If the zone has an active infestation, calculate amount to include an additional six (6) to twelve (12) inches on either side of the infested area. 2. If possible, drill holes to extend to the center of the wood member being treated. Do not drill holes that significantly decrease the structural strength of any wood member. 3. Inject the proper amount of Jecta Diffusible Boracide into holes. 4. Seal holes with a cork, plastic or wooden plug, exterior wood putty or rubber stopper. 5. Remove any excess Jecta Diffusible Boracide from the surface with a damp cloth or sponge. |
