The use of attractive toxic sugar baits (ATSB) is a novelty in vector and residential pest control. This study aims to determine the concentration bait that able attract german cockroach Blattela germanica Linnaeus, effectiveness various types substances as an ATSB control cockroaches. method based on behavior adult insects eat sugars from sources contain materials will ultimately kill insects....

background: in turkey, vector control programs are mainly based on indoor residual spraying with pyre­throids against mosquitoes. no special control program is available for sand flies. most insecticide susceptibil­ity tests were done for mosquitoes but not for sand flies. we therefore aimed to determine the insecticide susceptibility against two commonly used insecticides; deltamethrin and per...

trasal-contact method test using glass petri-dish rather than the conventional glass jar was used to evaluate the permethrin toxicity and synergism effect of piperonal butoxode (pbo) on nymphae of five strains of blattella germanica (l.). the test was carried out on 2-3 days old of first nympal stage, at four replicates of 10 cockroaches. the susceptible strain showed t50 and kt50 of 12.81 and ...

Two topically applied spot-on products--65% permethrin (Defend Exspot Treatment for Dogs, Schering-Plough Animal Health, Union, NJ) and 9.7% fipronil (Frontline Spot On Dog, Merial Limited, Iselin, NJ)--used for canine flea and tick control were evaluated for repellency against Ixodes ricinus, the tick species that is the primary vector of Lyme disease in Europe. Eighteen dogs were randomly ass...

To conserve wool textiles from insect attack, they are frequently treated with emulsions of natural and synthetic pyrethroid in an aqueous medium. Although the treatment is highly effective, it produces toxic effluent. In this work, insect-resist fabrics were produced by treating them a diterpene (totarol), (permethrin) subcritical carbon dioxide (subc-CO2) The totarol failed to provide any act...

DESIGN AND INTERVENTION BDUs of following four treatment categories were exposed to field populations of ticks: untreated (control), deettreated, permethrin-impregnated (PI), and permethrin-sprayed (PS). Six sites of 1ha (2.5 acres) were selected for a relative abundance of ixodid ticks. Sites were selected to ensure maximum exposure to (1) the ticks of all three growth stages — larval, nymphal...

A study was conducted to compare responses of male and female Aedes aegypti (Linn.) and Aedes taeniorhynchus (Wiedemann) to 9 olfactory repellents in the World Health Organization insecticide irritability test system. An irritant insecticide (permethrin) and a control were included for comparison. Aedes aegypti exhibited significantly more takeoffs than Ae. taeniorhynchus, and female mosquitoes...

The amounts of active ingredient required to kill adult Ctenocephalides felis fleas on filter insecticide impregnated papers were determined in an attempt to compare the activity of different active ingredients. The following compounds were tested: bioallethrin, deltamethrin, esbiothrin and permethrin. The LD50 and LD90 against Ctenocephalides lelis were 121 and 770 mg/m 2 respectively for bioa...

Standard WHO insecticide bioassay tests were carried out in Gorgora, northern Ethiopia to evaluate the susceptibility status of Anopheles pharoensis Theobald for the insecticides DDT, malathion, permethrin and deltamethrin. The mortality and when appropriate knockdown effect of the insecticides were observed. The results indicated that this species was resistant to DDT. A high mortality was obt...
