Benefits of technology

The present invention provides new ways to make and use products that can be used to control different types of insects, including termites. These methods can work in a variety of environments and are effective at getting rid of pests.

Problems solved by technology

A pest is an organism which is detrimental to humans or human concerns.
Commercially available insecticides, including those available for home use, commonly comprise active ingredients or poisons which are not only toxic to the target insect pests, but, if used in relatively confined environments and delivered as aerosol sprays, can be present in sufficient concentration to also be toxic to humans and household pets.
Various undesirable side effects may include immediate or delayed neurotoxic reactions, and / or suffocation.
Even the noxious odor of such materials can cause headaches or upset stomachs in some individuals.
These adverse side effects are exacerbated when such compositions come in contact with persons of increased sensitivity, or persons of small body mass such as children or babies.
The search for a new repellent or termiticide is difficult because studies have shown that termites show unexpected sensitivity to chemicals, sensitivity that differs from that of other insects.

Objective

[0099]To demonstrate the effectiveness of a termicidal composition in accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, an experiment was conducted to evaluate treated cellulose material for its resistance to subterranean termites the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) Standard E1-13 was implemented. In the experiment, single choice tests and two choice tests were performed simultaneously. The experiment tested wood treated with one embodiment of the claimed invention against Formosan subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus, as the targeted insect. The experiment was conducted utilizing the embodiment of the invention containing the insect repelling composition which includes approximately 25% by weight cold pressed orange oil component having a D-Limonene concentration of at least 80%, and approximately 75% by weight acrylic lacquer component, with the acrylic lacquer component comprising approximately 45% by weight modified acrylic emulsion copolymer, at least ...

Objective

[0119]To further evaluate the effectiveness of termiticidal compositions disclosed herein in accordance with embodiments of the invention, an additional experiment was conducted to evaluate treated cellulose material for its resistance to subterranean termites and to compare conventional termiticide to the compositions, in accordance with embodiments of the invention. The American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) Standard E1-13 was implemented. In the experiment, single choice tests and two choice tests were performed simultaneously. The experiment tested wood samples treated with four different compositions, of which three of the compositions were provided in accordance with embodiments of the invention disclosed herein, and the fourth composition was the conventional BORA-CARE® termiticide composition produced by Nisus Corporation. The tested wood samples were treated with a Treatment Y, a Treatment X, a Treatment B, and a Treatment BC, for use against Formosan subterra...

Abstract

Pesticidal compositions containing cold pressed orange oil with high concentration D-Limonene and acrylic lacquer for protective repellents against termite infestation and termiticides for the control of termites are provided. Wood preservative and protective compositions for repelling and killing wood boring insects are provided. In addition, the invention is directed to methods for repelling and killing termites by applying a pesticidally-effective amount of the above pesticidal compositions to cellulosic materials where pest control is desired.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 727,299, filed Sep. 5, 2018, the full disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to compositions to treat wood. More particularly, the present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating wood to control insects and more particularly, kill termites, while deterring and preventing termite infestations.Description of the Related Art[0003]A pest is an organism which is detrimental to humans or human concerns. Pests include insects, plant pathogens, weeds, molluscs, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes (round-worms) and microbes.[0004]Typically, pests are classified into insects, mites, nema-todes and gastropods. Pesticides are substances or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling or mitigating any pest. A p...
