New Chemical Eliminates 95% of Termites by Targeting Exoskeleton Growth
Audio narration · Coming soon
Researchers have developed a chemical that disrupts drywood termites' ability to build new exoskeletons, resulting in the elimination of about 95% of colonies during testing. This method leverages the termites' natural molting process to create a fatal vulnerability and may provide a safer alternative to traditional fumigation techniques.
