Q: Who is Genics?
A: Genics is a 24-year old company. Genics is an innovation company specializingin
the development and manufacture of environmentally friendly, worker safe products
used to preserve wood and extend the in-service life of wood assets.
Q: How do I know
Genics products work?
A: Genics products use chemicals with proven effectiveness, based on over 50
years of test history. What's new is our innovative delivery systems. The chemicals
used in Genics products are recognized by several North American and European
wood preservation associations and pest control associations.
Q: How hard are Genics products to install and are
they safe?
A: At Genics, the health and safety of the workers and protection of the environment
are top priorities. Genics products are designed for easy and fast installation
with minimum exposure to active chemicals. Genics has been awarded a "Certificate
of Recognition" by the Alberta Construction Safety Association and our products
are approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well
as Canada's Pesticide Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) with the lowest risk
and hazard rating of any industrial strength pesticide and fungicide.
Q: If I am already using other products to protect
my wood, are Genics products compatible?
A: Yes, Genics products are safe to use with all current wood treatment products.
Genics products will be much safer than the original remedial treatment to your
workers and the environment.
Q: When is the best time to start using Genics products
to protect my wood assets?
A: Due to the many variable conditions in different parts of the country, wood's
susceptibility to rot and infestation will vary. The best solution is to develop
a program that suits your situation. Genics will work with you to determine
what is best for your particular location.
Q: Do Genics products just work on fungal rot?
A: Genics products are very effective insecticides and fungicides. The CobraRod,
for internal treatment, contains copper and borates,
both proven effective co-biocides. The CobraRod sets up internal protection
against fungal and insect attack. For external
application, CobraWrap, containing copper oxides in a P9 carrier, is highly
effective against external attack fungal problems
at and below the groundline. GenBor Professional is a very effective flood
for existing insect and fungal infestation.
Q: If I already have a problem, can Genics products
help?
A: Yes, provided the problem has not reached the point where the wood structure
is no longer structurally safe.
Q: How expensive are Genics products?
A: The cost will vary depending on the size of the structure to protect and
degree of treatment. To provide an 8-10 year protection can
often be less than a dollar a year - a very wise investment.
