Abstract
The influence of solid preparative form was studied on the «GET Dry» insecticide based on alpha-cypermethrin and imidacloprid. The target efficiency as acute and residual impact was studied when agent was applied against the bedbugs (Cimex hemipterus), German cockroach (Blatella germanica), common house flies (Musca domestica) and larvae of the leather beetles (Attagenus smirnovi). The agent demonstrated strong acute effect (about 100%) when applied against the cockroaches, bugs, and flies. Moreover, the agent demonstrates the residual impact on the cockroaches, flies, fleas for 45 days, and on the bugs for 30 days. The slight insecticidal activity was observed when the agent was applied against the larvae. We studied toxicity of the agent, LD50, when swallowed (moderately hazardous substances, class III) and when applied to the skin (low-hazard substance, class IV) as well as studied its inhalation hazard according to its volatility С 20 °C, irritant action when applied to the skin (slight) and eye irritation (moderate). Sensibilizing action was not observed.
Highlights
In the world practice of disinsection, there is a shortage of effective and at the same time ready-to-use formulations
In the control of household crawling pests, the priority is given to the contact type of agents, which are blockers or inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase
If the formulation of the insecticide is ready for use, there is a possibility of low efficacy or high toxicity of the drug
Summary
In the world practice of disinsection, there is a shortage of effective and at the same time ready-to-use formulations. In the case of domestic use, when the products are used by nonprofessionals, insecticides of these types of action can cause undesirable consequences due to the poisoning. Taking this into account, specialists of "GET Biotechnology" Ltd (Yekaterinburg, Russia) have developed a readymade insecticide with a contact type of action for use in everyday life [1]. The agent contains the active ingredients alpha-cypermethrin with a mass fraction of 3% and imidacloprid with a mass fraction of 0.4% These active ingredients have relatively low toxicity and resistance in most insects [2,3,4]
