Studies were conducted in large arenas and simulated kitchens to compare the effectiveness of eight traps (seven sticky traps and one jar trap) and Þve attractants formonitoringGerman cockroaches (Blattella germanica L.). The evaluated traps were Trapper (type 9110Ð1), Catchmaster 150, 1001, and 2881, Victor-M330, Victor-M327, Glue board in D-Sect station, and a baby food jar trap. In choice te...

background : insecticide resistance is one of the serious problems for german cockroach control program. this study was conducted to determine the bendiocarb and carbaryl resistance mechanisms in german cockroaches using the piperonyl butoxide (pbo). methods : bioassay tests were conducted with 4 to 6 different concentrations of both insecticides with four replicates of 10 susceptible strain co...

Abstract The German cockroach (Blattella germanica ) is a pest often found in apartments, houses, food-handling areas, hospitals, and healthcare facilities Indonesia. It searches for food dirty places such as trash cans, sewers, septic tanks. will feed on almost anything, including fecal matter humans.

background: the german cockroach, blattella germanica l . , is a serious household and public health pest worldwide. con­trol of this species has been very difficult to achieve. toxicity of cypermethrin ec10%, deltamethrin ec5%, diazi­non ec0.5%, lambda-cyhalothrin ec5% and negon® (permethrin+propoxur oil liquid1%) commercial for­mula­tions were investigated against adult males of german cockro...

Background: The German cockroach (Blatella germanica) is one of the most important vectors of public health interest due to its involvement in the transmission of infectious diseases. Different insecticides are used to control cockroaches; however, resistance developed against most of insecticides has made them ineffective. Attempts should always be made to find proper alternat...

Glucose-averse (Glu/Glu) male German cockroaches, Blattella germanica, rejected brief exposures to glucose solutions despite food deprivation so extreme as to cause high mortality. In the 24-h period following 5 days of food deprivation, both Glu/Glu and wild-type (+/+) were given a continuous source of 1 M glucose solution. Although Glu/Glu visited the solution as frequently as +/ + , feeding ...
