The use of attractive toxic sugar baits (ATSB) is a novelty in vector and residential pest control. This study aims to determine the concentration of sugar bait that is able to attract the german cockroach Blattela germanica Linnaeus, and to determine the effectiveness of various types of toxic substances as an ATSB to control german cockroaches. This method is based on the behavior of adult insects that eat sugars from sources that contain toxic materials and will ultimately kill the insects. The types of toxic materials used in this study were inorganic insecticides (boric acid), pyrrole (chlorefenapir), neonicotinoids (dinotefuran), and pyrethroids (permethrin and deltamethrin). The results showed that an attractive sugar bait for german cockroach was 5% sucrose. ATSB with 25% boric acid toxic material caused 46.25% of cockroach mortality, and 0.12% chlorfenapir caused 70% of cockroach mortality 24 hours after treatment. Furthermore, ATSB with dinetofuran 0.08% and deltamethrin in various concentrations caused the highest cockroach mortality (100%), while permethrin caused cockroach mortality which was lower than ATSB with other toxic materials at the same time of observation. The conclusions of this study provide basic information about the use of ATSB and its potential in controlling the german cockroach in Indonesia.
Mosquito are insects that cause the most health problems in society and animal, namely as nuisance insects and vector of various diseases such as malaria, dengue hemorrhagic fever, chikungunya, Japanese Encephalitis, dirofilariasis, filariasis, St. Louis Encephalitis and West Nile Virus. Control of mosquito as a vector with utilization of cattle (zooprophylaxis) needs to be done so the role of cattle is more optimize. This study aimed to know the effect of the placement of cattle around population to reduce contact between mosquitoes and human. Catching mosquitoes was done at home with two treatments, the house with cattle and house without cattle. Catching mosquitoes in human by bare leg collection method at indoor and outdoor and cattle were placed in a magoon trap. The result showed density of Cx. sitiens are known as vector of Japanese Encephalitis in human at house with cattle 12.05 mosquitoes/man/hour, in human at house without cattle 16.31 mosquitoes/man/hour, and in cattle 54.38 mosquitoes/cattle/hour. Density of Anopheles are known as vector of malaria were caught showed placement of cattle reduce contact between mosquitoes and human. Density of An. sundaicus in human at house with cattle 0.03 mosquitoes/man/hour, in human at house without cattle 0.01 mosquitoes/man/hour, and in cattle 9.63 mosquitoes/cattle/hour. This research showed placement of cattle as zooprophylaxis media around population divert mosquitoes from human to animal
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
