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.

A synergistic wood preservation composition comprising a polymeric betaine and 3-iodo-2-propynyl butyl carbamate (IPBC). Also, a method of controlling microorganisms that produce mold and/or sapstain on wood or wood products or wood coating solutions by applying to a wood or wood product or wood coating solutions the synergistic wood preservation composition to control the microorganisms.

A self-assembled active agent may be formed by a process including covalently bonding at least a first component molecule and a second component molecule, the two component molecules displaying synergy such that the effective amount of the self-assembled active agent is lower than the sum of the effective amounts of the first component molecule and the second component molecule. The component molecules may be chosen such that the covalent bonding is reversible, for example through a hydrazone bond between an amine and an aldehyde. The active agent may thus have controllable activity such as an antimicrobial agent, a biocide, an antiviral agent, a preservative, an antifouling agent, a disinfectant, or a sensor agent, such as for a particular molecule or for pH.
