    Area of Science:

    • Entomology
    • Pest Management
    • Formulation Chemistry

    Background:

    • Household pests like cockroaches, flies, bed-bugs, and fleas pose significant health and nuisance problems.
    • Existing insecticidal treatments may have limitations in efficacy, residual activity, or safety.
    • Development of novel, effective, and long-lasting insecticidal formulations is crucial for public health and hygiene.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and evaluate novel insecticidal gel formulations for controlling common household pests.
    • To assess the efficacy and residual activity of these gel formulations under laboratory and field conditions.
    • To determine the optimal application rates for different insect species.

    Main Methods:

    • Synthesis and formulation of insecticidal gels incorporating specific concentrations of permethrin, cypermethrin, fenvalerate, and alpha-methrin.
    • Laboratory bioassays to determine the insecticidal efficacy against target pests (cockroaches, domestic flies, bed-bugs, fleas).
    • Field trials to evaluate the effectiveness and residual insecticidal action on various surfaces under real-world conditions.
    • Determination of application rates (g/m2) based on insect species and surface type.

    Main Results:

    • The developed insecticidal gel formulations achieved 100% mortality rates for cockroaches, domestic flies, bed-bugs, and fleas.
    • Effective pest control was observed across various surface types.
    • A residual insecticidal effect lasting up to 3 months was documented for the gel formulations.
    • Application rates ranged from 2.5 to 10.0 g/m2, varying with insect species.

    Conclusions:

    • The designed insecticidal gels containing permethrin, cypermethrin, fenvalerate, and alpha-methrin are highly effective against major household pests.
    • These formulations demonstrate significant residual activity, providing long-term pest control.
    • The approved formulations offer a viable and effective solution for pest management, supported by regulatory approval from the Ministry of Health of Russia.
