Detection of cockroach faeces: consumption of fluorescent bait and production of UV-light-detectable faeces from German cockroach, Blattella germanica
Original language description
Cockroaches have long been recognized as a major source of allergens in the human environment. As some allergens produced by cockroaches are accumulated within their tiny faeces and may persist unseen in the environment, development of a reliable methodformonitoring cockroach faeces distribution and abundance is crucial. Our aim was to explore the rate of consumption of fluorescent bait and defecation of UV-light-detectable fluorescent faeces from Blattella germanica (L.) (Blattodea: Ectobiidae) as a prerequisite for the establishment of faeces monitoring in the field. Laboratory experiments revealed that (1) the fluorescent bait was accepted by cockroaches as a food source and faeces produced after its consumption were fluorescent as well; (2) therewas a positive relationship between the fluorescent bait consumed and production of fluorescent faeces; (3) single and brief consumption of fluorescent bait led to continuous fluorescent faeces production, giving cockroaches enough time (
