Abstract
A wood-treatment device may provide controlled release of a wood treatment agent, such as a fumigant, when placed into standard bored treatment holes in wood structural members. Fumigant release may be controlled by releasing the fumigant through a controlled-release component that may be in a neck of the container or in a passageway of a cap assembly. The cap assembly may include an extension that dislodges the controlled-release component when placed on an open end of the container or has a needle that punctures a seal covering a container opening. The container may have ends configured to be engaged by an adapter used to manipulate the container in a bored hole. The adapter may clip onto a neck of the container, have flanges to seal a bored hole when inserted therein, and have a distal end with an opening configured for engagement and manipulation by an external tool.
