Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a sanitary insecticide, specifically to a compound bed bug control composition (pyrethroid and diamide insecticide) and its application. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of integrated pest management, the control of indoor sanitary pests has always faced severe challenges. Bed bugs, due to their strong environmental adaptability and reproductive capacity, have become a global problem. For a long time, the control model relying on single chemical agents has led to increasingly prominent problems of pesticide resistance, especially the widespread development of resistance to pyrethroid insecticides (such as permethrin and lambda-cyhalothrin), which has significantly reduced the effectiveness of conventional spraying treatments in practice.
[0003] In recent years, diamide insecticides (such as cyprodinil and brofenoxuron-methyl) have attracted attention due to their novelty and unique mechanism of action. These compounds target γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the insect nervous system, interfering with the normal function of chloride ion channels, causing disordered nerve signal transmission in pests, ultimately leading to paralysis and death. This mechanism is completely different from that of traditional pyrethroid insecticides, offering new possibilities for delaying or overcoming resistance. However, the use of diamide insecticides alone faces problems such as slow efficacy, high cost, and potential resistance risks.
[0004] Scientific formulation has become an industry consensus to improve control efficacy and extend pesticide lifespan. Procymidone, a pyrethroid containing polyfluorobenzyl groups, not only possesses excellent knockdown activity but also has a long history of safe application in textile protection and other fields, making its application in indoor bed bug control products highly promising and valuable. This study is the first to explore the combination of propofol with diamide insecticides and verify its synergistic effect in actual bed bug control. To further enhance the contact and absorption efficiency of the pesticide on the target surface, this formulation specifically introduces a high-efficiency penetration adjuvant to enhance the deposition and penetration ability of the active ingredient on the bed bug's body wall, thereby achieving a more stable and reliable control effect in complex and concealed environments. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The primary objective of this invention is to provide a compound bed bug-killing composition (a combination of permethrin and a diamide insecticide) that has a synergistic effect against bed bugs, especially highly resistant bed bugs, and its application.
