Cobra Rod is a wood preservative, fungicide and insecticide. The product takes the form of a solid cylindrical rod that is about 3/8″ in diameter.
- The rod is a deep green color and has a glass-like look and feel.
- These Boron and Copper compounds are melted and fused into the form of a solid glass-like rod, which begins to dissolve with moisture in the wood and travels throughout the entire wood section at the groundline zone.
- Cobra Rod will arrest early stages of decay and set up a defensive protection for years.
Treatment cycle is 8 to 10 years.

- The Cobra Rod rod is installed inside the post at the ground level to protect the entire wood member at this most susceptible area..
- It’s safe to handle and is made entirely of a unique Boron and Copper Hydroxide complex.
- Cobra Rod is a safe, low cost, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA – US) and Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA – Canada) approved decay protection and prevention system for wood.
- Active ingredients are Boron, (Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate and Boric Acid) and Copper, (Cupric Hydroxide as copper metal).
NOTE:1/2″ stock is closer to 3/8″ , however the 2″ length is closer to 2-1/2″ so we just call them 1/2″ x 2″ for easier comparison to Bor8 rods
