Download or read book Biology and Management of the German Cockroach written by Changlu Wang and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a species, the German cockroach is one of the most widespread indoor urban pests worldwide. While numerous products have been developed to control their spread, German cockroaches continue to contaminate food, transmit disease and cause significant, long-term economic expense to homes, restaurants, hospitals and more. Biology and Management of the German Cockroach summarises the many advances in management technology, products, delivery systems, and basic and applied research over the past 25 years. Leading researchers explain why the German cockroach is a medically important pest and how its microbiome can provide new insights on cockroach physiology and potential novel targets for control. The authors also address the research from a practical standpoint, detailing why baits have replaced sprays as the primary method of control and how population genetic studies allow for better understanding of cockroach dispersal and population structure. Leading experts on integrated pest management (IPM) explore how studies on German cockroach control programs demonstrate the value and feasibility of IPM in urban environments. This book provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the German cockroach and will be a valuable reference for researchers, graduate students, pest management professionals, health workers and government agencies dealing with urban pests and pesticides.

Book excerpt: The authors investigated the possibility of controlling the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, by using chromosome translocations. The first objective involved study of wild-type laboratory and field populations. The origin, hatch, and development of nymphal groups that determine the growth and age structure of a laboratory population were analyzed. Properties of 9 single translocations were studied under Objective 2. Eight showed good competitiveness, 1 marginal, and 1 poor. Eight were established in backcross systems to closely linked markers. Single translocations retarded but did not suppress population growth. The authors found that the sterility effect, embryonic trapping, that is used in population suppression by double translocations is due to a reduction in the numbers of viable embryos/ootheca. The frequency of sterile egg cases increases sharply at lethalities of 60-80%, with complete sterility at lethalities of 80% or better. They conclude that double translocations are the most effective method of using translocations for control in B. germanica. Such mechanisms are potentially capable of reducing field populations.

Download or read book Developing and Implementing Novel Methods to Control German Cockroaches and Bed Bugs written by Chen Zha and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German cockroach, Blattella germanica L. (Blattodea: Blattellidae), and the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius L. (Hemiptera: Cimicidae), are two common indoor pests of significant medical, economical, and social importance. In my studies, I evaluated several novel approaches for managing German cockroaches and bed bugs in apartment buildings. My researches involved both field and laboratory studies. In my first study, I determined the effect of a community-wide cockroach integrated pest management (IPM) on cockroach and pyrethroid residue reduction in a complex consisting of 258 units within 40 buildings in New Brunswick, New Jersey. At 7 mo after IPM implementation, 85% of the cockroach infestations found in the initial survey were eliminated. After 7 mo, the average number of detected pyrethroids decreased significantly from 6 ± 1 mean (± SEM) and 5 ± 1 to 2 ± 1 and 3 ± 1 in the kitchen and bedroom, respectively; the average concentrations of targeted pyrethroids residue decreased significantly from initial concentrations of 1.45 ± 0.39 and 3.31 ± 2.22 ng/cm2 to 0.29 ± 0.17 and 0.80 ± 0.61 ng/cm2 in the kitchen and bedroom, respectively. In my second study, I investigated the spatial distribution patterns of German cockroach infestations in a 188-unit high-rise apartment building before and after building-wide IPM implementation, and determined the optimum cockroach monitoring method in apartments. I found that the cockroach infestations among the apartments within the building were not independently distributed at 0 mo; infestations facing each other across the hallway, sharing walls, and sharing ceiling/floor were correlated to each other. However, infestations at 12 mo after IPM implementation were independent from each other. New infestations at 6 and 12 mo after IPM implementation were independent from existing infestations. Compared to 2 d trap placement, 14 d trap placement not only had higher trap catch, but also detected more infestations; therefore a longer period of trap placement is recommended for cockroach monitoring. In my third study, I evaluated the toxicities of various essential oils, silicone oils, and paraffin oil against bed bugs. The LD50 values of the most effective essential oil (blood orange), paraffin oil (C5-20 Paraffins), and the most effective silicone oil (Dodecamethylpentasiloxane) were 0.184 ± 0.018, 0.069 ± 0.012, and 0.036 ± 0.005 mg/bug, respectively. Direct spray of 1% water solution of 3-[Hydroxy (polyethyleneoxy) propyl] heptamethyltrisiloxane, the only silicone oil that mixes well with water, resulted in 92% bed bug mortality after 1 d. Results of this study indicated silicone oils and paraffin oil have the potential to be used as a safer alternative bed bug control materials. In my fourth study, I evaluated the effect of moxidectin, an anthelmintic drug, on bed bug feeding, development, fecundity, and mortality. High concentrations of moxidectin reduced the fecundity of bed bug females. One time feeding on rabbit blood containing 20 and 40 ng/ml moxidectin significantly reduced digestion rates and nymph molting rates. Therefore, moxidectin treatment is a promising addition to the existing bed bug management tools if its use on human can be approved in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century witnessed important changes in ecology, climate and human behaviour that favoured the development of urban pests. Most alarmingly, urban planners now face the dramatic expansion of urban sprawl, in which city suburbs are growing into the natural habitats of ticks, rodents and other pests. Also, many city managers now erroneously assume that pest-borne diseases are relics of the past. All these changes make timely a new analysis of the direct and indirect effects of present-day urban pests on health. Such an analysis should lead to the development of strategies to manage them and reduce the risk of exposure. To this end, WHO invited international experts in various fields - pests, pest-related diseases and pest management - to provide evidence on which to base policies. These experts identified the public health risk posed by various pests and appropriate measures to prevent and control them. This book presents their conclusions and formulates policy options for all levels of decision-making to manage pests and pest-related diseases in the future. [Ed.]
