The dug lanterns, a gas scourge in the United States that were discovered for the first time in the United States, have spread steadily through it. East Coast and In the Middle West With little on his way.
But researchers are now publishing a new weapon to slow its progress – specially trained dogs with the ability to inhale winged insect eggs before they hatch.
Since late last year, four dogs were wandering in the gardens in the Cleveland area in search of egg blocks hidden around trees, shrubs, garden seats, landscape rocks and bridge columns. Each block can produce an egg from 30 to 50 dance lasters.
Until now, dogs have revealed more than 4000 fans, which means that they have helped eliminate up to 200,000 SAP errors that cause damage Grapes, fruit trees, jumps Kony Hosman, director of memorization science at Cleveland Metrobarks, said that Kony Hozman, director of memorization sciences at Cleveland Metropargs, said.
Within a few hours in April, dogs found about 1,100 egg blocks in the Cleveland Metroparge Zoo, Hozman said.
She said not only any dog can go out to search.
“They all have great noses, but they are not all qualified,” she said. “They had to pass the tests to prove their service.”
Dogs have been trained through a research project led by a group at the University of Virginia Technology, which is launched to slow the spread of the original insects in East Asia and can be identified in their distinctive black spots and signs of bright red wing.
The four who worked in Cleveland, owned by the local population, were already training on the smell before working with Virginia Tech to refine their noses to detect the dug lanterns.
Once a new bloc of eggs are discovered, dogs get a treatment of their treatments who get rid of mud -like masses.
