Abstract
The invention concerns a wood-protecting agent, particularly for the protection of wood against dry-wood destroying insects, which comprises a wood preservative carrier and (I) the combination of at least one insect juvenile hormone or their analogue or mimetics selected from the group consisting of fenoxycarb, pyriproxyphene, kinoprene, methoprene and hydroprene with an ecdysone agonist selected from the group consisting of tebufenozide, halofenozide, tebufenozide analogue, azadirachtin and azadiractanin, each in a concentration of 0.5 to 0.00005% by weight, related to the entire formulation, and optionally, (ii) one or more triazole compounds to achieve a synergistic increase in effectiveness of said formulation.

A wood preservative, for the protection of wood against dry-wood-destroying insects, which comprises a wood preservative carrier and (i) the combination of at least one insect juvenile hormone or their analogue or mimetics selected from the group consisting of fenoxycarb, pyriproxyphene, kinoprene, methoprene and hydroprene with an ecdysone agonist selected from the group consisting of tebufenozide, halofenozide, tebufenozide analogue, azadirachtin and azadiractanin, each in a concentration of 0.5 to 0.00005% by weight, related to the entire formulation, and optionally, (ii) one or more triazole compounds to achieve a synergistic increase in effectiveness of said formulation.
A method for preserving wood, for protecting wood against dry-wood-destroying insects, which comprises treating said wood with a composition consisting essentially of a wood preservative carrier and 0.5 to 0.00005%, based on the total weight of the composition, of one or more insect hormones or their analogues or mimetics which permit a control of egg development or molting or cocooning of insects or insect larvae.
