Mycopesticides
Mycopesticides are natural products that use fungi to control pest insects. These fungi infect and kill pests like mosquitoes, beetles, or termites by attaching to and invading their bodies, disrupting their normal functions, and ultimately causing death. They are environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides, targeting specific pests without harming beneficial insects, plants, or humans. Mycopesticides are applied similarly to conventional pesticides, often as sprays or baits, and work by exploiting the pests’ biology, making them a sustainable option for pest management.
