Termites and wood borers are silent pests that attack from the inside out. When the signs appear, the damage may already be irreversible.
With the JIMO Cupim line, you ensure preventive and curative protection for wood in indoor and outdoor environments, with deep penetration and high effectiveness.
How to know if your wood is infested?
Watch for the signs:
- Hollow wood;
- Small holes;
- Fine powder or talc-like residue;
- Oval granules (termite droppings);
- Presence of discarded wings.
These signs indicate that the colony is already active and that treatment should begin immediately.
Why choose JIMO Cupim to begin treatment?
The JIMO Cupim line offers specific solutions for treating infested dry wood or wood at risk of infestation. Its advantage lies in its high-penetration formula and long-lasting residual effect, which continues working even after application.
You will find solvent-based and water-based versions, in clear (which does not alter the wood’s natural tone) and dark brown (ideal for rustic finishes and identifying treated areas).
Main benefits:
- Kills termites and wood borers;
- Deep penetration into the wood grains;
- Residual effect that prevents new infestations;
- Ready to use;
- Versions with nanotechnology (water-based);
- Low odor;
- Available in different volumes.

Nanoparticle technology
The JIMO Cupim Water-Based version is formulated with nanotechnology. This means the active ingredient reaches the deepest pores of the wood, reaching colonies hidden inside the galleries created by termites.
What is a nanoparticle?
It is a microscopic structure that penetrates deeper into the wood, ensuring fixation of the active ingredient, greater coverage, and higher efficiency.
