| abstract |
The invention concerns a wood-protecting agent, in particular for protecting wood against insects which attack dry wood, the agent being based on conventional carrier substances and auxiliary agents. The agent contains one or a plurality of insect hormones or their analogues or mimetics, in each case in a concentration of from 0.5 to 0.00005 wt %, relative to the total formulation. These substances can control the oogenesis and/or moulting and/or pupation of insects, a super-additive increase in efficiency being attained by the addition of triazole compounds. |
