Abstract

The common bed bug Cimex lectularius L. is a common ectoparasite in poultry facilities. Various chemicals are used to control bedbugs, however, literature data indicate the emergence of insecticide-resistant populations of C. lectularius. To ensure the high efficiency of disinsection of a large livestock or poultry facility, it is necessary to correctly select an insecticidal preparation based on determining the sensitivity of insects living at this facility to insecticides. The aim of this work is to determine the sensitivity to acetamiprid of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius L.) of a natural population living in a poultry farm. For testing, larvae and imago bugs selected in the houses were used. Sensitivity to acetamiprid was determined by dosed contacting of insects with the establishment of lethal concentrations by the method of weighted probit analysis. The semi-lethal concentration of acetamipride was 0,00000648%, and its semi-lethal dose was 1,88 μg / g of insect mass. In experiments with a concentration of acetamiprid 4 times lower than the diagnostic one, 100% insect death was noted. Based on the results obtained, we can consider the natural population of bed bugs that live in the houses of Pyshminskaya Poultry Farm CJSC, which is sensitive to acetamiprid.
