Fast acting insecticides are essential for wood damaging species, because during most of their life cycle the bark or wood protects them from insecticide exposure. Safe use of insecticides requires their having selective, high toxicity to insects, but low toxicity to non-targets. Virtually all insecticides are neurotoxins, and the nervous systems of vertebrates and invertebrates are more similar than different: thus most insecticides are toxic to non-target organisms. This project focuses on the secretion of urine by insects, a system very different from that in higher animals. Read More...
