Article Synopsis
- Isocycloseram, a novel insecticide from the isoxazoline class, effectively targets GABA-gated chloride channels in insects, showing promising results against various strains of German cockroaches.
- In laboratory tests, a gel bait formulation with 1% isocycloseram demonstrated rapid lethality, with average survival times of just 0.9 to 5.4 days across different cockroach strains.
- Resistance testing indicated no significant resistance in most strains, though some showed varying levels of resistance; additionally, combining isocycloseram with piperonyl butoxide enhanced its effectiveness against resistant strains.
The longlegged ant Anoplolepis gracilipes (Smith) is a highly invasive tramp ant species known for its deleterious effects on native ecosystems.
