Abstract

The results indicated the effectiveness of Aggregation pheromone to reducing the amount of toxic substance to environment by mixing the pesticides with pheromone and less than recommended rates and gave effective results. The results indicated that the treatment of adult foods with Maxforce,insect growth regulator( Applaud)and Neem oil in different concentrations had an inverse relation between the concentrations used and the time duration needed to adult mortality. The results confirmed that the addition of the Pheromone Extract to the Pesticides had the effect of reducing the amount of the toxic substance entering the environment as well as reducing the time required for killing. The results indicate the adult mortality percentage of american cockroches when using 1 g of Maxforce reached to 100% after 12 days compare with two days when added 0.5ml.aggregation pheromone with pesticide that used.
