5.0% micro-capsuled fenitrothion, 2.0% hydramethylnon, 또는 0.8% chlorpyrifos가 주요 활성 물질인 독먹이 제제의 방제효과를 알아보기 위하여 바퀴, Bfattella germanica (L)가 번식하고 있는 15개의 식당에서 8주동안 야외실험을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 바퀴 성충에 대한 방제효과는 mIcro-capsuled fenitrothion 제제 (평균 82.8%)가 chlorpyrifos 제제 (평균 68.4%)보다 유의성 있게 높았으나 hydramethylnon 제제 (평균 86.1%)와는 거의 같은 효과를 보였다. 또한, 바퀴 자충에 대한 방제효과는 3가지 독먹이 제제가 거의 같은 유효성(평균 74.9- 82.8%)을 나타내였다. 독먹이 소모량을 조사한 결과, 8주 동안에 서식 바퀴에 의한 micro-capsuled fenitrothion 제제의 소모량은 0.11 g으로, 평균 90% 이상 남아 있었으나, hydramethylnon 제제는 바퀴에 의한 소비량(O.72g)이 현격하게 많아서 잔여량이 평균 57%로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 hydramethylnon의 살충 기작의 특성, 유인먹이의 재료, 서식 바퀴의 밀도와 관계가 있는 것으로 추정되었다.

Bait formulations containing 50% micro-capsuled fenitrothion, 2.0% hydramethylnon or 0.8% chlorpyrifos were evaluated in an 8 week field experiment against German cockroach, Blattella germanica(L). In German cockroach infested 15 restaurants, micro-capsuled fenitrothion (avg. 82.8%) was more effective at reducing adult German cockroach populations than chlorpyrifos (avg. 68.4%), but was about equally as effective as hydramethylnon(avg. 86.1%). The baits of micro-capsuled fenitrothion (avg. 76.5%), hydramethylnon (avg. 82.8%) and chlorpyrifos (avg. 74.9%) almost equally reduced nymphal German cockroach populations in the field. Most baits remained in the bait stations at the heavily infested restaurants after the 8 week treatments. However, the contents of hydramethylnon baits had been subject to significantly greatest consumption (0.72g) and the remaining bait was on the average of 57% by German cockroaches. It was assumed that the previous phenomenon of extra consumption of bait was explained by the infesting cockroaches continuously taking these baits because of the mode of action, the bait food material and the population densities of German cockroaches.
