Unique Technology Offers Opportunity to Enhance, Replace, Chemical Insecticides
This unique extraction and purification technology offers a Green, nature-based solution to pesticides. It takes a naturally occurring fungus that unquestionably kills only pest social insects such as termites, fire ants, and carpenter ants—a fungus that the insects instinctively avoid—and turns it into an irresistible attractant that insect workers carry back to the colony. Colony death occurs in a few weeks, and the spores from the fungus act as a long term repellent in the immediate area against the formation of new colonies. The attractant ingredient alone can act as bait and feeding stimulant for any other insecticide, even without the killing aspect of the fungus. Scientific speculation is that similar attractant-entomopathic fungi pairs exist for other pest insects and that replacement for chemical insecticides—and their environmental impact—can be developed. Patent coverage on this technology is particularly broad and basic. The technology offers a new platform for developing future systems of pest control substances.scientists speculate specific killer fungus evolved every insect species few spores easily colonies social insects termites fire ants carpenter Metarhizium anisopliaeis naturally occurring kills harmless humans plants animals millions years exquisite sensitivity sporesso avoid infected workers re-enter colony difficult impossible anisopliaeas insecticide repellent
