We love that our products can add 15+ years of life to your wooden fence. What we love more is that you don’t have to use wood that’s been treated with Harmful chemicals. Protecting those you love, the environment and your backyard fence is as easy as drilling a few holes and adding our all natural copper/boron rods, plugging the holes with our treated plugs and continuing on with the build. That little bit of extra time adds 15+ years to your fence. As the moisture attacks your wood, our product kicks into action following the moisture as it wicks through the wood stopping decay and insects in their tracks.

*we don’t recommend doing this at home. There’s just something about fire that fascinates us as humans. At Genics, stopping fire from destroying wood utility poles, wood bridges, and homes is what fascinates us.

🚂 Did you know that our products extend the life of railway ties? Replacing railway ties comes at a great expense to rail-utilities and co-ops. By using our internal treatments millions of dollars can be saved per year. Saving money by replacing these ties less often, as well as less tie failures due to decay is good thing. 🚂

Last week we got to hang out with some good friends down in Mississippi! Dr’s Amburgey and Kitchens have made contributions to the wood preservative industry that have revolutionized how wood is kept safe and strong. What an honour to capture on camera a couple of the worlds brightest wood scientists. Stay tuned for the full interview!

Over 30 years ago we were a test and treat company

Over 30 years ago we were a test and treat company. Today, we are proud to continue to provide quality asset assessment and treatment to the utilities we serve. Here’s to another 30 years, and a hopefully unbelievable, fulfilling weekend!

Probably talking about Copper Borates, and how ama

Probably talking about Copper Borates, and how amazing they are at protecting wood. Decay, fire, insects, all protected against by two organic compounds. Gone are the days of harsh chemicals that harm the environment and those working with them... at least, that’s our goal. The wood preservation industry is starting to make the switch, nasty fumigants and arsenics are on the way out. If you aren’t allowed to burn your wood because it’s been treated with something toxic, that should be a major indicator you’re using the wrong stuff. Here’s to Thursdays, and protecting our environment. We hope you have an awesome day!!

By using our cobra wrap product for your power pol

By using our cobra wrap product for your power poles, fence posts, or really any wood that is anchored in the ground. You’ll not only get an exact controlled initial loading of product, you’ll also have the ability to re-charge the inside of the absorbent wrap at a later date with our Copper Naphthenate. This method of treatment is already saving utility companies a ton of money. Their poles are lasting longer and they don’t have to spend as much money for second or even third treatment cycles. By wrapping wood below the ground line, and infusing it with active decay fighting ingredients you will be able to add decades of longevity and retained strength to your wood. In combination with our cobra rod internal treatment, you can be confident that your wood will last!

Earlier this year we joined @sce to help host a symposium. Power Utilities from around the US were invited to explore the latest methods of treatment for test and treat programs in southern climates. We are excited by the fact that we are not alone when it comes to caring for wood, and researching and developing new ways to make sure that wood in all climates is able to stand strong against pests, fire, and decay. We are especially proud of the fact that our Copper Borate products preform extremely well in all climates, when easily installed in the proper target areas for moisture content. We also just really love the views that California has to offer.

Cobra Rods are quick and easy to install. This small glass dissolvable/diffusible rod can add decades of life to your wooden structures. Simply pick the right size drill bit (our rods come in sizes that can be used to provide the right load rates/treatment in anything from 1x4s to logs for your log home). Just drill at a 45° angle, insert the Cobra rod, and use the Boron treated cobra plug to seal up the hole. Quick, easy, powerful protection for years to come. #copper #boron

If you’re getting a house built, you need to check out these products! We had a ton of fun today with our good friends from BarrierTek. We watched as two structures were lit on fire. The far one in this photo was treated with CopperTEK for the dimensional lumber and ProTEKtor treatment on the osb. The other one was built with untreated dimensional/osb. Both were built to the same dimensions and had a fuel accelerant (50%gas/50%diesel) to start the fire. We got some great video to show just how amazing these products preform. Stay tuned to this page to see the results!!!

37 years ago two brothers began working “test and treat”in the summer to pay for school. Back then the chemicals they were using to treat the wooden power poles were harsh fumigants. After a few summers of working with those products, Wes and Cal had a “there has to be a better and safer way”... moment. That was when Genics began to research safer and more natural methods of remedial treatment. What they discovered was that two elements from the periodic table, Copper and Boron, were both extremely effective in treating wood to prevent decay and insects from compromising the strength of wood. Copper was effective at preventing shell rot, with extremely slow migration throughout the wood. Boron was effective at quickly penetrating deep into the wood, controlling internal decay. They decided to try and combine them in a way no one else had before. Together with the Alberta Research Counsel they were able to perfect Copper Borate Synergy in the form of a diffusible glass rod. The Copper and Boron create a complex that multiplies the effectiveness of each individual part. Instead of the copper barely migrating throughout the wood it goes where the Boron and moisture goes. At the same time, instead of Boron migrating to quickly “leaching out” eventually, the copper slows it down. In simple terms, this allows for wood to be treated safely, and effectively for much longer. Cobra Rods have changed the test and treat industry. Power utilities who used to be dedicated to fumigant treatments have begun to implement products that employ copper and boron, and they are finding that the results speak for them-self. Are you a utility company that employs a test and treat program? Maybe it’s time to make the change to safer, environmentally friendly, effective products.

There’s just something about wood. We absolutely love it. We love protecting it just as much. We have products that can be used for whatever you need, whether indoors or outdoors, barns, log homes, pole sheds, or wherever else wood is used. If it’s a matter of protecting the wooden structures you care about, we’ve got you covered. Check out our website (link in bio for more info or to order).

This is a cross section taken from an in service power pole that had been treated with Cobra Rods 9 years ago. The Boron migration test follows the AWPA standards. This pole is simply further proof that Genics Cobra Rods boast incredible Boron migration in wood. There was no significant decay found in this 1969 power pole (it is no longer in service due to mechanical damage). Cobra Rods boast industry leading load rates, and active ingredient migration due to the synergy created between Copper and Boron. The active ingredients in the cobra rod follow the moisture, protect the wood, and don’t leach out. You can trust the power of copper borate synergy to protect your wood for a very long time.

Before Genics began to specialize in manufacturing

Before Genics began to specialize in manufacturing environmentally friendly chemicals and products that fight against mold, decay and fire. We were a test and treat company that serviced utility power poles. We still are today, only with one major difference. The products we use. The products used in the early days were nasty, harsh chemicals and tough to work with. While some still prefer to use those dangerous products today. Genics has gone to great lengths to create a safe, powerful, and effective cobra line of products, that are able to outperform the competition. Watch this video to see them in action. Check out our website for more info, or to order (link in bio).
