Abstract

Resistance to organophosphorous and carbamate insecticides amongst German cockroaches is widely reported. Cyphenothrin EC, a new synthetic pyrethroid was evaluated in cookhouses in an urban area, with the aim of exploring alternate control option against the German cockroach Blatella germanica.Three cookhouses were selected by simple random sampling method, two for treatment and one as control. The impact of treatment on cockroach infestation was monitored weekly by visual assessment sampling technique.Cyphenothrin brought about 95 to 97.5% reduction in cockroach infestation by the end of six weeks post-treatment.The study reports the efficacy of cyphenothrin in the control of German cockroaches and recommends an "Integrated insecticide strategy" for the control of cockroaches in urban cookhouses.
