<p>Timber can be preventatively treated against pests with a pesticidal formulation which comprises a microemulsion, micellar solution or molecular solution, whose average particle or droplet size is less than 200 nm. Pesticides such as pyrethroid insecticides/acaricides (for example permethrin) and/or fungicides (for example IPBC and/or propiconazole) can be present in the formulation. The formulations contain water, and so are in improvement on solvent-based systems; in spite of their water content, their ability to penetrate timber is at least as good as, and even better than conventional solvent formulations.</p> |
