DOI: 10.1093/jee/toz260
Abstract: Abstract Damage from termite infestations is economically significant and control can be costly when requiring the widespread use of conventional insecticides. Erythritol, a polyalcohol sweetener that is safe for human consumption, causes increased mortality when… read more here.
