A method for inhibiting methane production in the digestive tract of methanogenic Archaea (e.g., termites, other wood boring pests). The inhibiting of the critical biochemical pathways specific to the methanogenic Archaea is achieved by having the methanogenic Archaea ingest an anti-methanogenic compound. The anti-methanogenic compound may include, for example, naturally-occurring statins or derivatives thereof, linoleic acid or related compounds, essential oils, or some combination thereof. The naturally-occurring statins can be found in the red yeast rice extract or related biomass. As a result, the effectiveness of the methanogenic Archaea to produce methane is compromised, which subsequently results into the malfunctioning of the xylophages' digestive system. This provides a safe, natural, green and sustainable means of controlling many pests such as the Asian Beetle, Emerald Ash borer, Weevils, Deathwatch Caterpillars, and termites.
一种抑制产甲烷古细菌(如白蚁、其他钻木害虫)消化道产甲烷的方法。通过让产甲烷古细菌摄入一种抗产甲烷化合物来抑制产甲烷古细菌特有的关键生化途径。例如,抗甲烷生成化合物可包括天然存在的他汀类药物或其衍生物、亚油酸或相关化合物、精油或它们的某些组合。天然他汀类物质可以在红麴提取物或相关生物质中找到。因此,产甲烷古细菌产生甲烷的效果会受到影响,进而导致木虱消化系统失灵。这为控制亚洲甲虫、翡翠灰螟、象鼻虫、死亡守望毛虫和白蚁等许多害虫提供了一种安全、天然、绿色和可持续的方法。
