Optigard Cockroach demonstrates excellent activity against target pests
As part of a choice test, Optigard Cockroach and Vendetta® Plus were offered to a recent field-collected strain of German cockroaches ("Meriwell"). While both baits achieved more than 90 percent mortality by Day 5, Optigard Cockroach, an advanced-generation avermectin, killed cockroaches faster than Vendetta Plus.

Optigard Cockroach demonstrates excellent activity against target pests
As part of a choice test, Optigard Cockroach and Vendetta Plus were offered to a strain of German cockroaches with documented aversion to maltose, fructose, glucose and sucrose ("Cincy"). While both baits achieved more than 90 percent mortality by Day 5, Optigard Cockroach, an advanced-generation avermectin, killed cockroaches faster than Vendetta Plus.

Speed of kill with Optigard Cockroach
As part of a choice test, Optigard Cockroach and Vendetta were offered to different strains of German cockroaches, all with varying levels of susceptibility and tolerance. Regardless of the cockroach strain, Optigard Cockroach quickly resulted in more than 80 percent mortality by Day 1.

Transfer effects of Optigard Cockroach via coprophagy
The a.i. in Optigard Cockroach, emamectin benzoate, remains viable within feces and tissues after ingestion by a cockroach. Cockroach nymphs that have never been directly exposed to the bait can consume those feces (defined as coprography), resulting in secondary kill. In this study, normal and bait-averse cockroach nymphs readily consume feces collected from nest mates that fed on Optigard Cockroach. After seven days, 100 percent mortality of bait-averse nymphs occurred, with 96 percent mortality of normal nymphs.

Optigard Cockroach field evaluation
Optigard Cockroach was applied in an apartment complex containing large populations of German cockroaches. Under very challenging conditions and with no other form of control implemented (such as physical modification), approximately 40 grams of Optigard Cockroach per apartment unit provided more than 90 percent control.
