Termite repellant and wood protector and methods

Abstract

Methods for protecting wooden materials from termite infestation include the steps of providing an insect control composition consisting of 5%-35% by weight cold pressed orange oil containing a concentration of at least 80% D-Limonene, 20%-50% by weight modified acrylic emulsion copolymer, 1%-10% by weight dipropylene glycol methyl ether, 1%-5% by weight polysiloxane polymer, 1%-5% by weight amine solution, and 20%-60% by weight water, and applying to the wooden material the insect control composition where protection against termites is desired. Other methods for protecting wooden materials from termite infestation include the steps of providing one or more of the disclosed insect control compositions and applying to the wooden material the respective to insect control composition. Applying the insect control composition to the wooden material preferably includes spraying, dipping or applying by paint roller brush the insect control composition to the wooden material.
