Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The insecticide components of a previously developed integrated pest management system for smokybrown cockroaches, Periplaneta fuliginosa (Serville), were tested individually and at reduced application rates in 4 separate trials over 2 yr. A 2-bait combination (pellet and gel baits) did not significantly reduce cockroach abundance more than a single constituent bait alone. A targeted spray of trelamethrin was significantly less effective than a 2-bait combination. Residual activity of insecticides was determined with American cockroaches, P. americana (L.), in a laboratory bioassay. Chlorpyrifos wettable powder remained active < 12 d in the field, after which time its activity was not different from an experimental control (no insecticide residues), whereas chlorpyrifos pellet and hydramethylnon paste baits retained initial activity for > 27 d. Nematodes [Steinernema carpocapsae (Weiser)] applied as a spray solution did not effect the abundance of smokybrown cockroaches, and no cockroaches were recovered that exhibited nematode infection. Time needed to apply various insecticide treatments did not differ substantially (15-25 min per house), even for lower application rates. |
