“…This was in line with the research by Shahraki GH. which stated that the most common cockroach species found were Periplaneta americana and Blatella germanica (Shahraki et al, 2013), (Noureldin, & Farrag, 2008). This was in line with the theory that the cockroach species most often found in port areas are Periplaneta americana and Blatella germanica (Indonesian Ministry of Health, 2017a).…”

“…By eliminating the food sources of cockroaches at food stalls kitchen, it can reduce the presence of cockroaches at the food stalls. Based on research by the directorate general of pest control in Saudi Arabia, as many as 100% of cockroaches were found in restaurants with the highest density (40%) of all cockroaches caught in all catching locations (Noureldin, & Farrag, 2008). Another study conducted by Jeffery et al in Kuala Lumpur, it was also stated that the most cockroaches were caught from restaurant kitchens, namely in 5 of the 6 zones of the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory (Jeffery et al, 2012).…”

“…Based on Noureldin's research, as many as 76.4% of cockroaches were caught in the kitchen. Then, the preferred habitats for cockroaches were under and above the refrigerator, in the trash, and under the sink (Noureldin, & Farrag, 2008). Kitchens and toilets were suitable hiding places for cockroaches with the availability of food (Shahraki et al, 2013) (Widiya et al, 2018).…”

“…Like present study which was observed the P.americana, the most prevalent cockroaches in the Esfahan sewer, P. americana is the most prevalent insect pests in urban sewers 26 of areas of tropics and subtropics. Large-scale of P. americana cockroaches can invade to human apartments through breathing sewer manholes.…”

Objective: Periplaneta americana (L.) is the most important invasive urban pests in sewers with high significance of public health. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of several insecticide formulations against American cockroaches in sewers. Methods: The population density of cockroaches was estimated before and after 1 and 5 months of the use of insecticides in sewer manholes. About 10 manholes were allocated for treatment of each insecticide formulation. Twenty manholes were allocated to controls (without the use of insecticides). Insecticides were considered effective achieving more than of 90% mean density reduction of cockroach population per a manhole. Results: The effectiveness of insecticide formulations in sewer manholes were considered effective after 1 month of insecticide treatments while the effectiveness of diazinon EC 5% and 0.05% formulations considered insufficient including 47.% and 19.5%mean density reduction of cockroaches, respectively. The effectiveness of chlorpyrifos EC 5% and Fog, and diazinon EC 5% were observed about 80.5%, 81.5%and 53.5% mean density reduction of cockroaches, respectively after 5 months of treatment while the other formulations did not achieve effectiveness. Conclusions: The insecticide formulations were considered effective and ineffective after 1 and 5 months of the use of insecticides, respectively. It would be more satisfied if insecticide formulations repeated every three months. A reasonable manner is using a combination of integrated pest management strategies recommending for successful P. americana control. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.20(3) 2021 p.569-585
