Resistance to Fipronil in the Common Bed Bug (Hemiptera: Cimicidae)

JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 58(4), 1798–1807.

By: M. Gonzalez-Morales  n, Z. DeVries n, A. Sierras n, R. Santangelo n, M. Kakumanu n & C. Schal n 

Ed(s): L. Hribar

author keywords: bed bugs; Cimex lectularius; fipronil; insecticide resistance; synergist
MeSH headings : Animals; Bedbugs / drug effects; Bedbugs / genetics; Insect Proteins / genetics; Insecticide Resistance / genetics; Insecticides / pharmacology; Mutation; Pyrazoles / pharmacology; Pyrethrins / pharmacology; Receptors, GABA-A / genetics
TL;DR: Investigating the potential of fipronil resistance in bed bugs found that highly resistant populations were also highly resistant to deltamethrin, suggesting that metabolic enzymes that are responsible for pyrethroid detoxification might also metabolize fipronsil. (via Semantic Scholar)

2018 journal article

Effectiveness of Boric Acid by Ingestion, But Not by Contact, Against the Common Bed Bug (Hemiptera: Cimicidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 111(6), 2772–2781.

By: A. Sierras n, A. Wada-Katsumata n  & C. Schal n 

Contributors: A. Sierras n, A. Wada-Katsumata n  & C. Schal n 

author keywords: chemical control; boric acid; Public Health Entomology; Urban and Structural Entomology; bed bug
MeSH headings : Animals; Bedbugs; Blattellidae; Boric Acids / administration & dosage; Eating; Insecticides / administration & dosage; Toxicity Tests
TL;DR: It is concluded that although boric acid is an excellent candidate active ingredient for an ingestible bait formulation, residual applications of dust or spray would be ineffective in bed bug interventions. (via Semantic Scholar)

2016 journal article

Comparison of ingestion and topical application of insecticides against the common bed bug, Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae)

Pest Management Science, 73(3), 521–527.

By: A. Sierras n & C. Schal n 

author keywords: bed bug; Cimex lectularius; mortality; systemic control; liquid bait
MeSH headings : Animals; Bedbugs / growth & development; Ectoparasitic Infestations / prevention & control; Guanidines; Insect Control / methods; Insecticides; Ivermectin / analogs & derivatives; Male; Neonicotinoids; Nymph; Oxazines; Pyrazoles; Thiazoles
TL;DR: Fipronil, clothianidin and abamectin have potential for being incorporated into a liquid bait for bed bug control; indoxacarb and DCJW were not effective. (via Semantic Scholar)
