Abstract
Adult Blattella germanica (L.) are more mobile within urban apartment structures than was previously recognized. Interapartment movement up to 30% per week occurred where construction design permitted. Adult males are more mobile than females. Pyrethrin insecticide applications Increased interapartment movement rates. These results stress the need for a more holistic, community-wide perspective for cockroach pest management programs than currently exists in pest control practices and demonstrate that construction should be designed (or altered whenever possible) to reduce cockroach movement.
