Projet BioControle Termite

In this project, researchers use an integrative approach to continuously detect the presence of termites by their odours and to modify their behaviour by using their pheromones. The BioControl Termite project is therefore based on the discovery and development of environmentally friendly natural methods. The researchers are also developing communication tools in the form of conferences, leaflets, exhibitions, a website and training courses adapted to each audience (general public, local authorities, companies, schools) to enable people to gain a better understanding of these invisible yet omnipresent animals in our lives.
The BioControl Termite project is led by Christophe Lucas of IRBI: Insect Biology Research Institute.
