Simulation

Because we have learned that the chemical method has a certain driving effect on killing, the driving efficiency in the home environment will cause great trouble to the neighbors. At present, the driving effect of biopharmaceutics is not clear. To compare the killing effect and driving effect of chemical agents and our biopharmaceuticals in a simulation experiment, we chose the two best-selling and best- evaluated chemicals on the market for testing, namely chalk and Bactericide.

Based on the actual size of the dormitory, we built a simulated room with the KT version and designed a walkway. The operation of the whole experiment is like this. Our experiments are divided into three groups, which are the control group, the chemical group, and the biological group. The control group did not add any pharmaceutical agents. The chemical group was divided into two groups, namely the chalk group and the Bayer acaricide bait group, and the biological group was placed with the second version of the drug-coated box. We will place 30 sputa in one of the rooms (Room A). The experimental period of each group is 3 days, and the parallel experimental group of each group is 3 groups. The main recorded data are sputum mortality, mobility (in the aisle and B). The cockroaches of the room are considered to have been migrated.) The purpose of setting up a blank group is to explore what the mobility and normal mortality of cockroaches are without the influence of any medicinal agents, and can provide a reference for our analysis of chemical and biological data.

Statistical Analysis Results

Our data were subjected to statistical analysis to determine whether there are significant differences using one-way ANOVA. Levene’s test, gave us results that each group is homogeneity at P-value of 0.05, indicating we can assume they have equal variances. T-test for pooled data gave us results that: migration rate infected by M.anisopliae emulsifiable powder was significantly lower than that by cockroach killing chalk or BAYER-Premise (P<0.05). While, there was no significant difference in migration rate between cockroach killing chalk and BAYER-Premise (P>0.05). Similarly, gnawing rate in M.anisopliae group was significantly higher than that in cockroach killing chalk or BAYER-Premise group (P<0.05), while between the latter two groups, there was no significant difference(P>0.05). As for mortality within three days, there was no significant difference between each two groups (P>0.05).

The results above show that M.anisopliae emulsifiable powder has higher efficiency than other traditional cockroach-killing methods. It has significantly lower migration rate, higher gnawing rate, and has similar mortality after using
