Utilization of yeast metabolites for bioattraction of cockroach

Cockroaches are among the most persistent pests that thrive in protected locations all over the world. Cockroach control using insecticides and other chemicals are not desirable because they are toxic to organisms and the environment.

This study was aimed to identify the novel potential of locally isolated yeasts, namely Pichia kudriavzevii M12 and Candida ethanolica M2 in cockroach attraction.

The 4-day fermented PDB of P. kudriavzevii M12 was found to be the better cockroach attractant, which trapped the highest number of both nymphs and adult cockroaches (an average of 48 cockroaches per catch).
