Occurrence Of Bed Bugs In Budapest, Hungary

The number of bed bug controls in Budapest has been steadily increasing since 2000, an abrupt rise, however, began from 2007. To apply an effective control strategy, it is essential to identify the causes of the increase in the number of bed bugs. To determine the causes, during the past one and a h...

S-Methoprene Formulations: Laboratory Tests For Efficacy against Bed Bugs

New bed bug control products, methods and Codes of Practices have been introduced, but it is likely that until we have a novel insecticide molecule and their formulations to which the bed bugs are fully susceptible, we cannot achieve appropriate results. Following a series of individual laboratory t...

Occurrence of Tropical and Imported Ant Species in Europe (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Climatic changes, tourism and travel, intensive product deliveries, especially of tropical plants, all contribute to the growth of ant infestations in Europe. These rapidly adopting ant species might need to be more thoroughly learnt and understood and possibly new, inventive eradication systems be ...

Efficacy of (s)-Methoprene against Cimex Lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae)

Widespread resistance to conventional residual neurotoxic insecticides such as pyrethroids is likely to be a major factor in bed bug infestations. To identify an insecticide with an alternative mode of action that is effective against the bed bug, the juvenile hormone analogue (S)-methoprene, was ev...

Tramp Ant Species Control with Methoprene Baits in Brazil

Several ant species have association to human structures in Brazil and their presence promotes problems such as contamination of food, damage to electronic appliances, and allergies due to the their venom. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of a methoprene-based bait against diff...

BIOLOGICALLY HARMLESS SUBSTANCES AND APPLICATION FORMS IN CRAWLING INSECT CONTROL

The regular and effective control of some synanthropic crawling insects as cockroaches and ants is unavoidable but due to the requirements of human health and environment protection, their elimination needs new concepts and methods. Cockroaches, first of all the German cockroach Blattella germanica ...

20-YEAR EXAMINATION OF THE HABITATS OF AN URBAN NORWAY RAT, RATTUS NORVEGICUS BERK. (MAMMALIA: MURIDAE) POPULATION

In 1971-72 a large-scale, city-wide campain against Norway rat was carried out by Bábolna Bio in Budapest. The rat infestation rate of premises fell to an average level below 0.5%. Subsequently a complex maintenance program was undertaken. This comprised preventive and curative measures based on dat...
