Borate Rods are an easy, low-cost decay protection and prevention system for wood. They have an appearance similar to glass rods and are available in a variety of sizes for a wide range of applications. Borate Rods are molded from fused, water-diffusible borates which are internationally recognized as an effective and well-established wood preservative.

Borates also effectively control termites, carpenter ants, a variety of beetles, and many other wood-boring insects. They are user friendly and environmentally acceptable. Borates are highly toxic to fungal decay and many insects at concentrations that are not poisonous to humans or other mammals.
