Commercially available insecticides effects on Blatta orientalis in Quetta city Baluchistan Province, Pakistan
Journal Title: Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences (JBES) - Year 2017, Vol 11, Issue 4
Abstract
Insecticide resistance in cockroaches is a serious problem as they are the main vector source of pathogenic bacteria. A total 180 of Blatta orientalis (oriental cockroaches) were collected from various localities in Quetta city and tested against 8 commercially available insecticides. Mortein power guard, Baygon insecticides were killed significantly faster and caused 100 % death in all cockroaches with direct contact within 10 minutes. Tar-o-mar and Icon 24 effectively controlled the cockroaches causing 80% reduction in population. Finis (20%), Good Bye (10%) and Roach killer insecticides showed 0%mortality. Thus, we propose that Mortein power guard, Baygon could be valuable insecticides to be used in integrated resistance management of oriental cockroaches.
