Pyrethroid insecticides are currently used as a main method of bedbug control.
目前控制臭蟲的主要方法是使用擬除蟲菊酯類殺蟲劑。
Unfortunately, researchers have reported that many bedbug populations may have developed resistance to these and other types of insecticides.
不幸的是,研究人員報告稱,許多臭蟲種群可能對這些或其它類型的殺蟲劑產生了抗藥性。
Now, Researchers from North Carolina State University and Penn State say they have created a fungal "biopesticide" to battle even the strongest bedbugs.
現在,來自北卡羅來納州立大學和賓州州立大學的研究人員稱,他們已經發明了一種真菌生物殺蟲劑,可以用來對抗最強的臭蟲。
researchers investigate using a natural fungus that causes disease in insects.The result was the development of patent-pending Aprehend.
研究人員使用一種天然真菌使昆蟲感染疾病。結果正在申請專利。
researchers said it killed 95.5 percent to 99 percent of bedbugs within 14 days, including those resistant to the insecticides currently being used.
研究人員表示,這能在14天內殺死百分之95.5到百分之99的臭蟲,包括那些對現在殺蟲劑有抗藥性的臭蟲。
