Wood-devouring insects, such as beetles, termites, and carpenter ants, are constantly chewing through walls or infecting trees and breaking them down. The fight against these insects usually involved noxious insecticides; but now, at least some of them can be eliminated using a certain species of fungus."

Fungus could be the insecticide of the future

Plant chemicals made more potent by insect pests are detoxified by the fungus.
