The German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.), is one of the most prevalent indoor urban
insect pests due to its potential to develop insecticide resistance and its association with allergens
and pathogens. Over-the-counter insecticide products are often chosen as the first tools of pest
management by homeowners because they are easily accessible and low cost. However, the
efficacy of consumer products on the German cockroach is relatively understudied. In this study,
we investigate the influence of insecticide resistance on the performance of consumer products
using direct spray and Ebeling choice box methods. The performance of consumer insecticide
products, including pyrethroid-based aerosols, essential oil aerosols, and baits, was evaluated,
and the implications of the findings are discussed.
