Learning From Insects Genes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Scientists have recently discovered a new and effective method of pest control that innovative companies<\/a> may soon be using. The method was derived from vinegar flies, which possess a gene that develops a waterproof coating on their bodies, allowing for protection against microbes and other environmental stress factors – including insecticides. The gene has proven to be essential for regulating the hormone which is responsible for producing wax on the vinegar fly’s body.<\/p>\n

The ‘Spidey’ Gene<\/strong><\/p>\n

The gene, nicknamed Spidey (named after everyone’s favorite wall-crawling comic book character), allows the flies to develop a protective coating of wax over their shells, live longer, and avoid getting stuck to soft surfaces.<\/p>\n

The discovery was quite unexpected, as scientists had not anticipated that the hormone would play such an important role in the development and maintenance of wax-producing tissues.<\/p>\n

Experts from Allison Pest Control have pointed out the difficulty of directing water-based insecticides at certain insects whose waxy coating protects them against chemically-treated spray attacks. It is this problem that the new discovery aims to correct.<\/p>\n

How it can Help a Freehold Exterminator<\/strong><\/p>\n

Removing or negating the ‘Spidey’ gene in vinegar flies could lead to a significant alteration of insect physiology, leading to removal of the layer of wax that protects other species of flies, cockroaches, etc. This will improve the effectiveness of water-based extermination methods used by your top Freehold exterminators<\/a> at Allison Pest Control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
