Permethryn is a synthetic product used as an insecticide


None of these products are anything like as effective as the ones that
the EU has removed from our arsenal of AIs


Best protection is to keep out water by design.

cheers chris. Is there anything one can add to these preparations to
improve their effectivness, eg a copper salt or cu powder?


Boron.

in what form, borax?


I am not a chemist:-)

Look up Probor manufactured by Safeguard Europe Ltd but there are dozens
of formulations available for rot and boring insect protection.

Probably disodium octoborate!
