Abstract
The effect of curtains impregnated with permethrin (0.5 g/m2 ), cyfluthrin (0.05 g/m2 ) and lambdacyhalothrin (0.025 g/m2 ) on the total number of mosquitoes biting human indoors and those resting indoors was studied for 12 consecutive weeks. A total of 919 mosquitoes were sampled biting human indoors. The genus Mansonia (41.2%) was the most dominant biting on human indoors and Anopheles (8.1 %) was the least. Total number of mosquitoes biting on human indoors and those resting indoors were successfully reduced by the pyrethroid impregnated curtains. No difference was observed in the efficacy between the three insecticides used. Bioassay test using the WHO cone on the treated curtain found that the percentage of mosquitoes knockdowned after an hour of exposure to the curtain was significantly declined in relation to the age of the curtain (weeks) being used. Lambdacyhalothrin treated curtain did not show any decline in efficacy in relation to time. The efficacy of Bacillus thuringiensis H-14 and Bacillus sphaericus in controlling mosquito larval population in ricefield and their effect on non-target organisms were studied for 22 days. A three week pretreatment survey showed Culex constituted 96.4% of the total larval population while Anopheles constituted only 3.6%. The three most dominant spesies were Cx. gelidus, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus and Cx. pseudovishnui. For B. thuringiensis, two formulations were used; Aquabacxtn.t (emulsifiable concentrated) and LarvXn.tSG (sand granule). As for B. sphaericus, Vectolexn{ WG (wettable granule) was used. It was found that LarvXn1SG was ineffective in reducing mosquito larvae in the treated plot compared to Aquabacxtâ„¢ and Vectolexn.t WG. The best control was using by Vectolexn1 WG for a period of 15 days where larval reduction was between 90-100%. Rain fall and water temperature did not influence the efficacy of all larvicide formulations used. The three larvicide formulations did not show any negative effect on non-target insects from the family Baetidae, Libellulidae, Dytiscidae, Notonectidae, Coenagrionidae, Naucoridae, Hydrophilidae as well as tadpoles.
