Effectiveness of Building-Wide Integrated Pest Management Programs for German Cockroach and Bed Bug in a High-Rise Apartment Buildingeffe Publish Date: 2019-11-13 Author/Source: Changlu Wang, Amanda Eiden, Richard Cooper, Chen Zha, Desen Wang Description: We evaluated the effectiveness of a contractor-led bed bug IPM program and researcher-led cockroach IPM program in a high-rise apartment building for 1 yr. A second apartment building that received conventional monthly pest control service was used as control. The bed bug infestation rate decreased from 9% at 0 mo to 3% at 12 mo (63% reduction), even though the contractor only partially followed the IPM protocol; the German cockroach infestation rate decreased from 49% at 0 mo to 12% at 12 mo (75% reduction).

Changes in Indoor Insecticide Residue Levels after Adopting an Integrated Pest Management Program to Control German Cockroach Infestations in an Apartment Building Publish Date: 2019-09-11 Author/Source: Wang C, Eiden A, Cooper R, Zha C, Wang D, Reilly E Description: nsecticide use in homes leads to human exposure to insecticide residues that persist in the environment. Integrated pest management (IPM) programs have been known to be more environmentally friendly for managing German cockroach (Blattella germanica L.) infestations, but their effect on indoor insecticide residue levels are not well understood. An IPM program consisting of applying cockroach gel baits and placing insect sticky traps as the primary treatment methods were implemented. Floor wipe samples were collected from the bedroom and kitchen floors of 69 apartments with German cockroach infestations at 0 months and again at 12 months from 49 of the 69 apartments sampled at 0 months.

Progression of seasonal activities of adults of the spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula, during the 2017 season of mass flight dispersal behavior in eastern Pennsylvania Publish Date: 2019-09 Author/Source: T. C. Bakera, E. C. Smyers, J. M. Urban, Z. Menga, K. J. Pagadala Damadaramac, A.J. Myrick, M. F. Cooperband, M. J. Domingue Description: Highlights 1.In early adulthood L. delicatula exhibited much plant-to-plant flight activity. 2.Flight-dispersing adults had thin, black abdomens. 3. Longer straight-line descending flights became more common through September. 4. Post-flight-dispersal adults in late September had swollen, yellowed abdomens. 5. Mating pairs only observed after abdomens had become yellow and swollen. States/Regions: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Northeast, Pennsylvania, Virginia

Rapid evolutionary responses to insecticide resistance management interventions by the German cockroach (Blattella germanica L.) Publish Date: 2019-06-05 Author/Source: Mahsa Fardisi, Ameya D. Gondhalekar, Aaron R. Ashbrook & Michael E. Scharf Description: We conducted seminal field studies to compare three insecticide resistance intervention strategies for cockroaches and evaluated resistance evolution across multiple generations. Using pre-treatment resistance assessment to drive decisions, we found that single active ingredient (AI) treatments can successfully eliminate cockroaches if starting resistance levels are low.

Discovery of Three Kairomones in Relation to Trap and Lure Development for Spotted Lanternfly (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae) Publish Date: 2019-02-10 Author/Source: Miriam F Cooperband, Jacob Wickham, Kaitlin Cleary, Sven-Erik Spichiger, Longwa Zhang, John Baker, Isaiah Canlas, Nathan Derstine, Daniel Carrillo Description: When comparing individual compounds, methyl salicylate attracted the most L. delicatula. Methyl salicylate lures in the field produced a two- to four-fold increase in captures compared with unbaited controls, and field testing also revealed a significant positive dose response. Of the several types of sticky bands tested, Web-Cote Industries sticky bands were found to be most efficient at trapping L. delicatula adults and nymphs.

Exposure risks and ineffectiveness of total release foggers (TRFs) used for cockroach control in residential settings Publish Date: 2019-01-28 Author/Source: Zachary C. DeVriesEmail authorView ORCID ID profile, Richard G. Santangelo, Jonathan Crissman, Russell Mick and Coby Schal Description: The German cockroach, Blattella germanica, is one of the most challenging pests to eradicate from indoor environments. Professional pest control is often prohibitively expensive, prompting low-income residents to turn to over-the-counter consumer products, including total release foggers (TRFs, “bug bombs”). Despite their widespread use, little is known regarding either the associated pesticide exposure risks or the efficacy of TRFs.

Climate Change, Carbon Dioxide, and Pest Biology, Managing the Future: Coffee as a Case Study Publish Date: 2018-08-18 Author/Source: Lewis H. Ziska 1, Bethany A. Bradley, Rebekah D. Wallace, Charles T. Bargeron, Joseph H. LaForest, Robin A. Choudhury, Karen A. Garrett and Fernando E. Vega Description: The challenge of maintaining sufficient food, feed, fiber, and forests, for a projected end of century population of between 9–10 billion in the context of a climate averaging 2–4 °C warmer, is a global imperative. However, climate change is likely to alter the geographic ranges and impacts for a variety of insect pests, plant pathogens, and weeds, and the consequences for managed systems, particularly agriculture, remain uncertain. That uncertainty is related, in part, to whether pest management practices (e.g., biological, chemical, cultural, etc.) can adapt to climate/CO2 induced changes in pest biology to minimize potential loss. The ongoing and projected changes in CO2, environment, managed plant systems, and pest interactions, necessitates an assessment of current management practices and, if warranted, development of viable alternative strategies to counter damage from invasive alien species and evolving native pest populations. We provide an overview of the interactions regarding pest biology and climate/CO2; assess these interactions currently using coffee as a case study; identify the potential vulnerabilities regarding future pest impacts; and discuss possible adaptive strategies, including early detection and rapid response via EDDMapS (Early Detection & Distribution Mapping System), and integrated pest management (IPM), as adaptive means to improve monitoring pest movements and minimizing biotic losses while improving the efficacy of pest control.
