Household Pests

Benzon Research can evaluate insecticides against many pests that occur in and around dwellings, including cockroaches, house flies, ants, fleas, silverfish, and stored product pests. A modified Peet-Grady test chamber is available for standardized efficacy testing against flying insects.

Insecticides that are intended for application to surfaces rather than directly on the target insects often must be tested on a variety of substrates. Here, a formulation containing plant essential oils applied to hardboard, vinyl tile, and glass is evaluated against German cockroaches. Repellency may also be evaluated using a similar method.
