A New Approach for the Control of Cockroaches Utilizing the Entomophilic Nematode DD-136 in Conjunction with Attractants.

Abstract

The broad overall objective of this project is to develop a successful pest management scheme to control cockroaches on board naval ships and on shore facilities, based on the use of promising entomophilic nematodes in conjunction with baits, attractants and harborage-inoculation devices. In addition, four juvenile hormone analogs were evaluated for possible use in controlling cockroaches on naval ships and shore facilities. The entomophilic nematode, Neoaplectana carpocapsae=DD-136, and associated bacterium, Xenorhabdus nematophilus have been tested in the laboratory as far as potential and capacity to infect and kill the German cockroach, Blattella germanica.
