The invention relates to pesticidal compositions comprising trisiloxane surfactants and a matrix-forming agent, which compositions are capable of controlling pests and pathogens using a physical mode of action. Accordingly, in one aspect, the present disclosure provides a pesticidal composition for controlling pests and pathogens with a physical mode of action. The composition comprises trisiloxane surfactants and matrix-forming agents. The composition may form a gel matrix or a film matrix. The trisiloxane surfactants may be selected from the group consisting of Silwet L-77, Silwet 408, Break-Thru S-240, and Silibase 2848. The matrixforming agents of a pesticidal composition are selected from the group consisting of chitosan salts and sol-gel precursors.

A termiticide concentrate comprising a termiticide composition comprising a phenylpyrazole, such as tipronil and a neonicotinoid, such as imidacloprid, wherein the composition is dispersed in an aqueous medium to form the termiticide concentrate. The concentrate containing the combination of active termiticides provides an increased efficacy not exhibited by either active when used alone.
