Insects are found in each and every corner of the world. They are the most common animals on the earth and are also familiar to everyone. 1.5 million Of insect species are being named. Many are yet to be discovered. Their size, shape, color, biology, and life history are so diverse that it makes the study of insects absolutely fascinating.
Insects feed on a seemingly endless array of foods. Many insects are omnivorous, meaning that they can eat a variety of foods including plants, fungi, dead animals, decaying organic matter, and nearly anything they encounter in their environment. Still, others are specialists in their diet, which means they may rely only on one particular plant or even one specific part of one particular plant.
Many insects are predatory or parasitic, either on plants or on other insects or animals, including people. Such insects are important in nature to help keep pest populations (insects or weeds) at a tolerable level. Predatory and parasitic insects are very valuable when they attack other animals or plants that we consider to be pests.
Insects are very important as primary or secondary decomposers. Without insects to help break down and dispose of wastes, dead animals and plants would accumulate in our environment and it would be messy indeed.
Insects are underappreciated for their role in the food web. They are the sole food source for many amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Insects themselves are harvested and eaten by people in some cultures. They are a rich source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, and are prized as delicacies in many third-world countries. In fact, it is difficult to find an insect that is not eaten in one form or another by people. Among the most popular are cicadas, locusts, mantises, grubs, caterpillars, crickets, ants, and wasps.
Honey bees are kept by beekeepers because they produce honey and wax. In some countries, people collect honey from wild bees.
Another insect that produces products for people is the silkworm. The silkworm is not a worm but it is a moth. On a silkworm farm, the caterpillars (silkworms) are fed with leaves of the mulberry tree. When the caterpillar pupates they spin a cocoon made of one long thread of silk. These cocoons are harvested to produce silk.
American salmon fly’s larva is sensitive to water pollution which helps scientist to recognize polluted supplies.
Antlion control ant population and help pollinate flowers while being no threat to humans.
Black and yellow garden spiders are called “guardian of the garden” because they help in controlling pest population in the gardens.
Burying beetle is the consumer of many natural materials including dead mammals; carrion, maggots and rotting fruits.
House centipede can help to keep certain other household pests in checks- such as cockroaches and moths.
On the other hand, insects have also served to accelerate cultural evolution. Silkworms, for example, were certainly the driving force behind the establishment of the trade between Europe and China and were still a factor in 1942 when Christopher Columbus stumbled onto the new world in his quest to find a sea route to the silk and species of the Orient.
The sociological impact of the insects has been keenly felt on the battlefield. Over the course of human history, more soldiers have died from lice and mosquitoes, than bullets and bombs.
In World War I, medics noticed that gunshots wounds infested with blowfly maggots seldom developed bacterial infections. Their observations led to us of maggot therapy (sterile-reared fly larvae for cleaning necrotic tissue from a deep wound), the later discovery of allantoin, a chemical secretion of the larvae that inhibits bacterial growth.
Honeybee rather their products has been used for medical purposes since the medieval times. This practice also called apitherapy is used as a alternative medicine in Europe and other parts of the world. Some proponents of apitherapy use bee stings as at treatment for patients who suffer from arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus erythematosus, Parkinson’s diseases and other auto-immune conditions.
The knowledge of the insect’s structure has also proven useful in non-biological professions. In 1983, engineers at McDonnell Douglas Corp. studied the legs of grasshoppers to help them design shock absorber for a new jet fighter, the Hornet. Dr. Rodney Brooks at MIT’s artificial intelligence laboratory is developing six-legged robots with an electronic control system that is modeled after the distributed nervous system of the insects.
In spite of all their positive attributes, some insects can cause problems. Unfortunately, most people are more aware of the few insects that cause problems than they are of the many beneficial insects. People ignorant of these beneficial facts about insects tend to kill those using different insecticides. This practice should be stopped.
Insects can be repelled rather than killed. This can be done by using C Tech corporations’ Combirepel™. It is a non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-carcinogenic and environmentally safe insect repellent. It is engineered using a unique set of complex compounds. Combirepel™ is cost efficient, inert, stable up to 1400 deg C temperature, long lasting etc. Because of these unique properties, it is compatible with various polymers like PP, LDPE, HDPE, and MDPE.
Our product works on the mechanism of repellency. It temporarily inhibits the mating cycle of the insects. The product impairs the ability of the insects to reproduce, that is the insects will not lay eggs or the laid eggs will be infertile. The product causes feeding disruption in an insect by triggering an unpleasant reaction within the insect which might try to feed on the application. The product temporarily blocks the reproduction system of the insects by hindering the release of the vital hormones for growth.
The product available in the form of masterbatch can be incorporated into the base polymer of the polymeric applications like the wires and cables, pipes, household utilities, etc. to keep the pest away from the application.
The product available in the form of liquid concentrate can be mixed in paints and be applied on the interior and exterior of the houses, schools, hospitals, warehouses, offices etc. to keep these areas safe from these pests.
The product available in the form of lacquer form can be used as a direct application. The lacquer can be applied to the already installed applications like the wires and cable, pipes, metal decors, racks and pallets from stores rooms etc.
Since Combirepel™ is designed to keeping the insects away effectively and not kills the insects or any other animal, it doesn’t harm any target or non-target species in any way. It is RoHS, RoHS2, ISO, REACH, APVMA, NEA compliant and FIFRA exempted. We are committed to our environment & we believe that no harm must be caused to animals or to the environment.
