The Inject Solutions plugs enable homeowners to treat virtually any common pest or moisture problem in walls, floors, windows, doors, ceilings, attics, under cabinets and vanities. The plugs are unobtrusive and deliver the pesticide or wood preservatives directly to the problem areas, eliminating messy pesticides in exposed areas. The plugs also make it easy to repeat applications or treat for different problems, and they are completely sealed and safe left in place.

The plugs can be installed in areas of the home such as:

• Masonry Block
• Stucco
• Exterior Corner Boards
• Decorative Columns
• Cabinet Toe Spaces or Cabinet Floor
• Exposed Masonry
• Attic and Ceiling Spaces
• Sills
• Basement Beams

How to install and use the Inject Solutions plugs

Basic
Install one plug for each six feet. Drill a hole approximately one inch in diameter and screw in the appropriate plug. Once the plug has been installed simply inject the chemical through the plug. Once the treatment has been completed insert the plug cap and leave the plug in place for future treatments.

There are two plugs to choose from — the IPexterior plug is designed for exterior sidewalls or wood of a thickness greater than 3/4", and the IPinterior plug is of a molly type for use inside drywall, Formica, or other thinwall application.

Beams
Install the plug in the uppermost corner of the beam by drilling the hole from the upper corner down at about a 20° angle, making sure that you do not penetrate through the other side. The plugs can be installed on both sides, however you don’t need to do this as long as the plugs are spaced every 36 inches so that the seepage and wicking into the beam will be more than adequate for proper treatment of the timber. Next inject the pesticide until the plug is full. Once the pesticide has wicked into the beam you can repeat the process until you begin to see signs of the pesticide seep through the beam. At this point you can install the plug caps and wait to see if there are new signs of pest damage. You may need to add additional plugs or simply repeat the treatment until you no longer see signs of insects.

Columns
Measure eight inches down from the top of the column. Drill a hole approximately one inch in diameter and screw in the appropriate plug. Inject a clear wood preservative into the column, using as much pressure as possible to disperse the liquid. Repeat the application several times over the period of two days to allow each treatment to fully penetrate the wood. We recommend follow-up with a pesticide treatment for carpenter ants or termites.

Once the treatment has been completed insert the plug cap and leave the plug in place for future treatments.

Door Trim
Cut approximately one-quarter inches from the bottom of the casing to prevent additional water from wicking into the trim. Locate plugs about eight inches above the floor height and three inches to the side of the trim on each area that is having a problem. Inject two or three good doses of the clear preservative over a period of two or three days, letting the materials dry for a day or so between applications. Then inject the appropriate pesticide to prevent any pest problems, install the plug cap and you’re done. You can then refinish the trim.

Sills
Start by checking the type of construction that you have — balloon (studs nailed directly on the sill) — or box (floor joists are nailed to the sill). If you have balloon construction then the standard treatment will work just fine. If you have box construction the elevation of the plug installation is different. You must determine the sill thickness and where the bottom of your sub floor is located. The plugs should be located somewhere in between the two.

Inject the preservative into the plugs by using very little pressure. You do not want to apply too much pressure because you can overshoot the desired treatment area. Once the application is complete and you are satisfied that the area is well treated, wait a day or so to let the area dry. Now you can inject the pesticide into the area. Once this has been completed you can install the plug caps.
