Application of insecticide aerosols to window-frames for the house-invading stink bugs control

Abstract

We examined the anti-invading effects of the house-invading stink bugs by applying the marketting insecticide aerosols to the window frames of the buildings. On the results, it was found that cyphenothrin, prallethrin and phenothrin had higher preventive effects for Halyomorpha mista to invade the building. Menida scotti was also prevented by those insecticides but the preventive effect was about 10% lower than that for H. mista. It is supposed that these insecticide aerosols availably prevent for the bugs to invade the dwelling houses and small accomodations.
