Insecticidal activity of 8 household and hygiene insecticides against bedbug (Cimex lectularius)

Abstract

Abstract:The e$cacy of eight insecticides which are used as household and hygiene insecticides in Japan were evaluated against susceptible strain of bedbug (Cimex lectularius L.). d-d-t Cyphenothrin and fenitrothion showed high e$cacy among the six insecticides (d-d-t cyphenothrin, permethrin, d-phenothrin, fenitrothion, propoxur and metoxadiazon) by topical application test and filter paper contact test. By the test of oil formulation, imiprothrin showed the highest knock down activity and permethrin showed the highest killing e$cacy among the three insecticides (permethrin, imiprothrin, d-tetramethrin).

The Efficacy of some Insecticides and Essential Oil-Based Products against The Bed Bug, Cimex lectularius

“…Moreover, using insecticides namely, pyrethroids, pyrroles, and neonicotinoids are the most common compounds for bed bug control (Sutherland et al 2015 andLee et al 2018). The previous studies indicate that the commercial insecticide products that containing d -d -t cyphenothrin, permethrin, d -phenothrin or fenitrothion have the ability to kill the bed bug (Okamoto et al 2010). These finding might be in agreement with the results of the present study.…”

Five Surfaces Treated with d-Tetramethrin plus Acetamiprid for the Management of Tenebrio molitor and Alphitobius diaperinus: Which Is the Best?

“…Taking into account our findings and those of the aforementioned studies, we can conclude that this mixture of a.i.s has the potential concerning stored-product pest management in storages. It can also be assumed that piperonyl butoxide, as an insecticide synergist that enhances the insecticidal properties of d-tetramethrin and acetamiprid [59,107], plays a significant role in the elevated efficacy of this mixture in this study, compared with the insecticidal properties of these a.i.s in former studies [108][109][110][111][112][113][114][115]. Previous research has revealed that the incorporation of piperonyl butoxide into pyrethroid insecticides did not alter the susceptibility of the susceptible strain of A. diaperinus [113].…”
