Current Targeted Species
Zebra and Quagga Mussels
Zebra and Quagga Mussels are destroying the Great Lakes, Upper Mississippi River Basin and Lower Colorado River Basin and all lake related water, power, natural resources and infrastructure as they continue to spread south and west. They have also caused similar extensive damage across Europe
Current Status of a Solution
The Invasive Species Control Corporation’s (ISCC) Zequanox product is currently being marketed for pipeline and open water applications. We have begun the development of a second generation product, one that will be significantly cheaper, significantly easier to use and significantly more efficacious in open water and closed pipe system applications. We believe we can have this new version of our product ready for the 2023 season.
Asian Carp
Asian Carp are destroying freshwater fisheries and tourism along the entire Mississippi River, and may soon penetrate the Great Lakes waters and beyond.
Current Status of a Solution
The Invasive Species Control Corporation’s (ISCC) Carpquanox solution is registered with the EPA. WE are currently working on starting up manufacturing and beginning the marketing of the product for open water applications.
Toxic Algae
Toxic Algae is poisoning wildlife, pets and humans, and destroying freshwater ecosystems as it spreads internationally.
Current Status of a Solution
The Foundation (ISF) has discovered five candidate microbes that could potential be suitable algaecides. They require further research, proof-of-concept, toxicology and manufacturing feasibility studies before being offered to third parties for commercialization. Our Corporation will stay on top of the research and coordinate the development of manufacturing and marketing once an efficacious solution has been developed.
Pine Bark Beetle
Warming temperatures are fueling the expansion of pine and spruce beetle outbreaks across North America, Europe, and Siberia, ravaging tens of thousands of square miles of woodlands. Scientists warn that some forest ecosystems may never recover. 1
Current Status of a Solution
The Foundation (ISF) has identified two candidate microbes and is negotiating a license to develop those microbes as a solution for this pest. Further testing, proof-of-concept, and toxicology on these microbes is required before going forward with commercialization and deployment. Our Corporation will stay on top of the research and coordinate the development of manufacturing and marketing once an efficacious solution has been developed.
Emerald Ash Borer
The Emerald Ash Borer is destroying ash trees across eastern and midwestern USA and Canada, continuing its march westward. As with the pine and spruce beetles, the Emerald Ash Borer’s territory is expanding due to Global warming. It is also destroying eco systems, contributing to forest fires and causing billions in damage to the forestry and paper industries.
Current Status of a Solution
The Foundation (ISF) has identified two candidate microbes and is working on a license to develop them for forestry applications. Further testing, proof-of-concept, and toxicology is required or different microbes may need to be discovered to address this pest. Our Corporation will stay on top of the research and coordinate the development of manufacturing and marketing once an efficacious solution has been developed.
Pine Wilt (Wood) Nematode
The Pine Wilt Nematode is destroying the Scots, Austrian and other conifers in Asia and is spreading in North America.
Current Status of a Solution
The Foundation (ISF) has identified a candidate fungus and signed an MOU with the owner of this fungus to develop and commercialize it for forestry applications. Further testing, proof-of-concept, toxicology and product development is necessary to commercialize this fungus as a solution. In addition, the Foundation may do further discovery until a cost-effective, highly efficacious solution has been derived. Our Corporation will stay on top of the research and coordinate the development of manufacturing and marketing once an efficacious solution has been developed.
