Multifactored logistic models were developed for chlorpyrifos and cyfluthrin formulations based on mortality data from laboratory studies with the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.). Insecticides were applied to stainless steel surfaces and aged at three different temperatures (23, 30, and 37 degrees C) and two levels of relative humidity (40 and 70%). After the insecticides dried, the treated panels were placed opposite plywood panels to simulate a crack and crevice application. At appropriate aging times, treated panels were removed from environmental chambers for bioassay. The combined effects of high temperature, high humidity, and aging of residues caused the greatest decline in cockroach mortality for chlorpyrifos. Increasing temperature and aging of residues resulted in decreased cockroach mortality for cyfluthrin formulations; however, mortality was greater than 87% for all formulations through 84 d. Information from this study can be incorporated into integrated pest management programs for German cockroaches.
