Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods of making solid bodies of dazomet for use in internal remedial treatments of wood and methods of applying such solid bodies to wooden structures and manufacturing such solid bodies. The solid bodies can be easily transported and inserted into treatment holes in utility poles, wooden pilings, and other wooden structures, that can deliver a dose of insecticide and fungicide that combats internal decay in the wood.

A method for manufacturing a product essentially free of water for internal remedial treatment of wood, comprising:
- uniformly blending a composition comprising a mixture of dazomet, a lubricant, and a binder;
- and
- compressing the blended mixture into a solid body without the addition of water or aqueous solutions.
A method for manufacturing a product essentially free of water for internal remedial treatment of wood, comprising:
- uniformly blending a composition comprising a mixture of between 80% and 96% solid tetrahydro-3,5-dimethyl-2H-1,3,5-thiadiazine-2-thione by weight of the composition, between 0.5% and 5.0% of a saturated oil, by weight of the composition, and between 1% and 15% of a polysaccharide, by weight of the composition;
- and
- compressing the blended mixture into a rod without the addition of water or aqueous solutions.
