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. Borate Rods are an important part of System Three Resins' EndRot System for wood rot repair.
