Biologic Insecticide is sponsoring research at Drexel University to test the company’s natural insecticide ingredient on various insect species.
The technology was previously tested on spotted wing drosophila, mosquitos, pea aphids, fruit flies, fire ants, and several other ant species.
On-going research includes testing on pavement ants, mound ants, carpenter ants, termites, cockroaches and grain beetles. Testing is also being conducted to analyze the effects of BLI’s technology on insect larvae as well as adult fertility.
