What are the types and effects of cockroach drugs?

Cockroach poison is a chemical used to control cockroaches. According to its mechanism of action and composition can be divided into different types, the following will introduce several common types of cockroach drugs and their effects.

Insecticides: 1.1 Insecticides kill cockroaches mainly by destroying the nervous system of cockroaches. Including organophosphorus insecticides, organochlorine insecticides and pyrethroid insecticides.

1.1.1 Organophosphorus insecticides: Organophosphorus insecticides are one of the commonly used drugs at present, such as trichlorphon, malathion and so on. They cause paralysis and death by blocking the cockroaches' nerve pathways. The advantage is that the insecticidal effect is good, but the disadvantage is that it has certain toxicity and harm to the human body and the environment.

1.1.2 Organochlorine insecticides: Organochlorine insecticides are a class of broad-spectrum insecticides, such as DDT, dipyriphos, etc. By destroying the cockroach's nervous system, they lead to nerve conduction dysfunction, paralyzing and killing the cockroach. Organochlorine insecticides have long-term properties, but they pollute the environment seriously and are easy to produce resistance.

1.1.3 Pyrethroid insecticides: Pyrethroid insecticides such as fenvalerate, thianidin, etc., have a good toxic effect on cockroaches. Pyrethroid insecticides mainly inhibit the cholinesterase activity in cockroaches, leading to the death of cockroaches nerve conduction disorders. 

Growth regulators: Growth regulators are mainly a class of drugs that achieve insecticidal effect by interfering with the growth and development process of cockroaches. Common growth regulators include pediculone, aerosol and so on.

2.1 Pedicurone: Pedicurone is a growth regulator, which has a certain inhibitory effect on the development of cockroach larvae and adult reproduction and spawning. Acarone interferes with the steroid hormone metabolism of cockroaches, resulting in the growth and reproduction of cockroaches are hindered and destroyed. Pediculone is relatively safe for humans and the environment.

2.2 Aerosol: Aerosol is to wrap the growth regulator on the surface of the particles, and disperse the drug into the indoor air through the atomizing spray of the aerosol to achieve the insecticidal effect. Aerosol mainly affects the reproductive ability of cockroaches by hindering their growth and metamorphosis.

Polymer: Polymer drugs are a new type of environmentally friendly insecticides. It uses high polymer as the main component, and blocks the respiratory tract of cockroaches by interacting with the membrane lipid on the body surface, causing them to suffocate and die.

3.1 Polymer powder: Polymer powder is a stable polymer insecticide commonly used in indoor and outdoor locations. The insecticidal principle is to scatter the polymer powder in the place where the cockroaches are often frequency-when the cockroaches touch the surface of the polymer, the powder will adhere to the cockroach body, preventing its normal breathing, resulting in suffocation and death.

3.2 Polymer gel: Polymer gel is a adhesive cockroach drug commonly used in contaminated places such as kitchens. The polymer gel contains toxic substances, and when cockroaches touch the gel, they will be attached, so that they cannot escape and eat, resulting in death.

In summary, according to the mechanism of action and composition, it is mainly divided into insecticides, growth regulators and polymers. Different species have different insecticidal principles and application range, through reasonable selection and use, can effectively control the reproduction and spread of cockroaches.
