title: [Testing effectiveness of selected bio-insecticides for reducing the population of cockroaches (Blattella germanica L.)].
abstract: The usefulness was tested of the biological insecticides containing B. thuringiensis available in the market in the eradication of cockroaches. Thuridan was the most effective out of the tested insecticides in reducing the number of the insects. Its higher activity in relation to Thuricide was evident at all tested concentrations. Males were more sensitive than females. On the other hand, no significant response of cockroaches to M-one preparation was noted, since the per cent of dying insects was only slightly higher than in the control group.
