臭虫在世界各地卷土重来,and,因此,不断需要有效的虫害控制策略。一些研究已经评估了25(B)和其他自然,或所谓的“绿色”产品,以及用于臭虫的非处方杀虫剂,但需要更多的研究来确定臭虫控制产品的功效。这项双盲研究项目旨在研究六种市售天然或“绿色”杀虫剂对臭虫的长期有效性,并将其与三种已知的传统残留产品进行比较。使用水作为对照。针对臭虫的易感和抗性菌株(每个1200个臭虫)对产品进行了评估,和使用两种不同的底物。Temprid(®)(拜耳公司,Monheim,德国),运输(®)(FMCCorp.,费城,PA,美国),Invader(®)(FMC公司,费城,美国PA),Cimexa(®)(罗克韦尔实验室,堪萨斯城,MO,美国),和BBT-2000(®)(Swepe-TiteLLC,图珀洛,MS,美国)是唯一在六个月等待期后暴露于处理过的底物后显示出任何实质性(>40%)臭虫控制的产品,尽管抗性臭虫菌株的结果大大降低。高山粉尘(®)(巴斯夫公司,弗洛勒姆公园,NJ,美国)杀死了27%或更少的臭虫,取决于应变和底物。EcoRaider(®)(北卑尔根,NJ,美国)和地球母亲D(®)(WhitmireMicrogen,弗洛勒姆公园,NJ,美国)(硅藻土)生产11%或更低的控制。Cimi-ShieldProtect(®)(害虫屏障,卡森,CA,美国)在这项研究中没有显示出针对臭虫的活性。使用SAS软件分析显示治疗之间存在三向相互作用,基材,和臭虫菌株(分子DF9;分母DF80;F=4.90;p<0.0001)。
Bed bugs are resurging throughout the world, and, thus, effective pest control strategies are constantly needed. A few studies have evaluated 25(b) and other natural, or so-called \"green\" products, as well as over-the-counter insecticides for bed bugs, but additional studies are needed to determine efficacy of bed bug control products. This double-blinded research project was initiated to examine long-term effectiveness of six commercially available natural or \"green\" insecticides against bed bugs and to compare them with three known traditional residual products. Water was used as a control. Products were evaluated against both susceptible and resistant strains of bed bugs (1200 bugs each), and two different substrates were used. Temprid(®) (Bayer Corporation, Monheim, Germany), Transport(®) (FMC Corp., Philadelphia, PA, USA), Invader(®) (FMC Corporation, Philadelphia, PA USA), Cimexa(®) (Rockwell Laboratories, Kansas City, MO, USA), and BBT-2000(®) (Swepe-Tite LLC, Tupelo, MS, USA) were the only products which showed any substantial (>40%) bed bug control upon exposure to treated substrates after the six-month waiting period, although results with the resistant bed bug strain were much reduced. Alpine dust(®) (BASF Corporation, Florham Park, NJ, USA) killed 27% of bed bugs or less, depending on strain and substrate. EcoRaider(®) (North Bergen, NJ, USA) and Mother Earth D(®) (Whitmire Microgen, Florham Park, NJ, USA) (diatomaceous earth) produced 11% control or less. Cimi-Shield Protect(®) (Pest Barrier, Carson, CA, USA) showed no activity against bed bugs in this
study. Analysis using SAS software showed a three-way interaction between treatment, substrate, and bed bug strain (Numerator DF 9; Denominator DF 80; F = 4.90; p < 0.0001).
