Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of controlling cockroaches by means of a combination of benzoylphenylurea derivatives known per se and living insect-pathogenic nematodes. It relates also to the corresponding use of such combinations and to an improved cockroach trap that contains the benzoylphenylurea derivatives in combination with living insect-pathogenic nematodes.
- the invention relates also to cockroach control compositions that consist essentially of such combinations.
- a large number of entomopathogenic nematodes is known, and some are available commercially for insect control. The methods of application are varied and depend upon the insect to. be controlled. For example, immobilised nematodes are available, which are transferred to a liquid medium, for example tap- water, before application and are then applied to the soil for controlling soil insects.
- a liquid medium for example tap- water
- That method is not suitable for noxious insects in buildings, for example cockroaches.
- traps have been developed which make use of the cock-roach's typical behaviour of seeking protection and cover in narrow cracks. The fact that the cockroaches spend time in those traps increases the rate of infestation and therefore the success of this method of cockroach control.
- the larva and the imago are similar in many respects. A final moulting leads directly to the imago. If any cockroach population is controlled with nematodes, it will be found that although the adult cockroaches are quickly destroyed, the nymphal stages continue to live relatively unchecked and multiply further.
- the object of the present invention is, therefore, to improve the method, which is in itself successful, of controlling cockroaches with nematodes in such a manner that the nymphal stages are also included, so that the entire population is destroyed quickly and permanently and the cockroaches are prevented from multiplying further via the nymphal stages.
- insecticides that are active against cockroaches include, for example, the benzoylphenylurea derivatives disclosed in WO 86/03941, in the literature cited therein, and in Research Disclosure 304103 August 1989.
- those benzoylurea derivatives also exhibit nematicidal, that is to say nematode-killing, activity and are therefore unsuitable from the outset for use in combination with insect-pathogenic nematodes.

Abstract
A method of controlling cockroaches is described, which essentially comprises bringing the cockroaches into contact with an insecticidal amount of a benzoylphenylurea derivative known per se in combination with living insect-pathogenic nematodes. Also described is an improved cockroach trap that contains such a benzoylphenylurea derivative and living insect-pathogenic nematodes.
Description
Method, and composition for controlling cockroaches
The present invention relates to a method of controlling cockroaches by means of a combination of benzoylphenylurea derivatives known per se and living insect-pathogenic nematodes. It relates also to the corresponding use of such combinations and to an improved cockroach trap that contains the benzoylphenylurea derivatives in combination with living insect-pathogenic nematodes. The invention relates also to cockroach control compositions that consist essentially of such combinations.
A large number of entomopathogenic nematodes is known, and some are available commercially for insect control. The methods of application are varied and depend upon the insect to. be controlled. For example, immobilised nematodes are available, which are transferred to a liquid medium, for example tap- water, before application and are then applied to the soil for controlling soil insects.
That method is not suitable for noxious insects in buildings, for example cockroaches. In that case it is necessary to provide traps in which the nematodes are provided with a medium in which they can live, so that infestation can take place over a relatively long period of time. For example, traps have been developed which make use of the cock-roach's typical behaviour of seeking protection and cover in narrow cracks. The fact that the cockroaches spend time in those traps increases the rate of infestation and therefore the success of this method of cockroach control.
However, in controlling cockroaches with nematodes, a particular problem is encountered. For rapid and reliable control it is a disadvantage that the susceptibility of the cockroaches to infestation is not the same in all larval stages. For example, young nymphs (1st to 4th larval stage) are infested by nematodes to a far lesser extent than are adult cockroaches. The order cockroach, Blattodea, belongs to the hemimetabolic insect orders. In their development from a larva (nymph) to an adult insect (imago), they undergo several moultings (no pupal stage), which involve not only an increase in size but also a stepwise approach to the organisation of the imago. In addition, the larva and the imago are similar in many respects. A final moulting leads directly to the imago.
If any cockroach population is controlled with nematodes, it will be found that although the adult cockroaches are quickly destroyed, the nymphal stages continue to live relatively unchecked and multiply further. The object of the present invention is, therefore, to improve the method, which is in itself successful, of controlling cockroaches with nematodes in such a manner that the nymphal stages are also included, so that the entire population is destroyed quickly and permanently and the cockroaches are prevented from multiplying further via the nymphal stages.
A solution could lie in a combination of nematodes and an insecticide that is active against the cockroaches (nymphs). Such insecticides that are active against cockroaches include, for example, the benzoylphenylurea derivatives disclosed in WO 86/03941, in the literature cited therein, and in Research Disclosure 304103 August 1989. However, it is known from WO 86/03941 that those benzoylurea derivatives also exhibit nematicidal, that is to say nematode-killing, activity and are therefore unsuitable from the outset for use in combination with insect-pathogenic nematodes.
Surprisingly, there has now been found within the large group of known benzoylphenyl-urea derivatives a sub-group of formula I below which exhibits excellent activity against young larval stages of cockroaches and at the same time leaves insect-pathogenic nematodes completely unaffected.

Special mention is to be made of the following compounds of formula I: N-(2,6-difluoro-3-aminobenzoyl)-N'-[4-fluoro-3-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethylpyrid-2-yloxy)-phenyl]-urea and N-(2,6-difluoro-3-aminobenzoyl)-N'-[4-chloro-3-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethylpyrid-2-yloxy)-phenyl]-urea, especially N-(2,6-difluoro-3-aminobenzoyl)-N'-[4-chloro-3-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethylpyrid-2-yloxy)-phenyl]-urea.
In a preferred embodiment the combination according to the invention of a compound of formula I and insect-pathogenic nematodes is used in a trap. The trap is, for example, a closed apparatus having slots in the side walls which allow the cockroaches to enter the trap. The upper part and the lower part each contain an agar gel as a water reservoir. On the lower agar gel there is a paper insert that has been treated, for example, as follows: An aqueous suspension of a compound of formula I is sprayed onto the insert so that from 5 mg to 500 mg of active ingredient/m2 of insert, preferably from 10 mg to 50 mg of active ingredient/m2 of insert, are applied. From 1 to 2 million living nematodes are then placed on the dried paper insert. The trap may also contain further devices, for example a
wooden grid which provides the cockroaches with good hiding-places.
Accordingly, the present invention relates especially to a cockroach trap having a moist, flat, absorbent carrier on which there are located living nematodes, the carrier additionally having from 5 mg to 500 mg of a compound of formula I per m2. Examples of suitable flat, absorbent carriers are, in addition to paper and cardboard, fabrics made of natural or synthetic fibres, as well as thickened or solidified liquids. Blotting paper is very suitable.
The present invention relates principally to the control of cockroaches of the order Blattodea, such as members of the genus Blattella.
The insect-pathogenic nematodes used are preferably representatives of the genus Steinernema.
Example 1: Effect of N-(2,6-difluorobenzoyI)-N'-[2,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,3,3,3- hexafluoropropoxy)-phenyI]-urea on Steinernema carpocapsae
The tests are carried out in transparent plastics containers (32 × 21.5 × 12 cm3) with air holes in the lids. They contain a trap, a hiding-place (egg box), food (a small petri dish containing ground dog-biscuits) and water in a small glass closed with cotton. The traps consist of an upper and a lower part each of which contains agar gel as a water reservoir. The paper inserts having approximately from 1 to 2 million living nematodes
(Steinernema carpocapsae strain #25) on the upper side and, as appropriate, 50 mg of N-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)-N'-[2,5-dichloro-4-(l, 1,2,3,3, 3-hexafluoropropoxy)-phenyl]-urea/m2 are placed on the lower part. A wooden grid is placed over the paper inserts to provide the cockroaches with a hiding-place. The upper part is placed on the grid and the two parts, upper and lower, are secured by means of adhesive tape.
25 male adults (age approximately from 4 to 6 weeks, i.e. 14 weeks including nymph development) are introduced into the plastics containers and their mortality is determined after 2, 3, 6 and 7 days. Surviving cockroaches are removed and the test is continued for a further week with a new cockroach population. This step is repeated until the end of the fourth week. The experiments are carried out at 22°C and 55 % relative humidity.

In the two Tables, treated/untreated insert is to be understood as meaning an insert that has/does not have 50 mg of N-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)-N'-[2,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropoxy)-phenyl]-urea/m2.
The results given in the two Tables show that N-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)-N'-[2,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropoxy)-phenyl]-urea neither kills nor immobilises the nematodes, and it evidently also has no effect on their reproductive behaviour.
Example 2: Effect of N-(2,6-difluorobenzoyI)-N'-[2,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,3,3,3- hexafluoropropoxy)-phenyl]-urea on Blattella germanica nymphs
The tests are carried out in transparent plastics containers (13.5 × 18 × 6 cm3) with air holes in the lids. They contain a trap with a paper insert having, as appropriate, 50 mg of N-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)-N'-[2,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropoxy)-phenyl]urea/m2, a hiding-place (egg box), food (a small petri dish containing ground dog-biscuits) and water in a small glass closed with cotton. The experiments are carried out at 25°C and 55 % relative humidity. Each week for a period of six weeks, adult females carrying oothecae are transferred to new containers, the young nymphs being left behind. 25 nymphs from the three-week-old group are introduced into the test container 24 hours before the start of the test.
Dead insects are counted after 14 and 21 days. At the end of the test, all insects, living and dead, are counted.

The results given in Table 3 show that three-week-old nymphs of Blattella germanica are killed by N-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)-N'-[2,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropoxy)phenyl]-urea.
Example 3: Effect of N-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)-N'-[2,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,3,3,3- hexafluoropropoxy)-phenyl]-urea and nematodes on Blattella germanica adults
The tests are carried out in transparent plastics containers as indicated in Example 1.
25 male or 25 female adults (age approximately from 4 to 6 weeks, i.e. 14 weeks including nymph development) are introduced into the plastics containers and their mortality is determined after 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days. Surviving cockroaches are removed and the test is continued for a further week with a new cockroach population. This step is repeated until the end of the twelfth week.

Activity can still be observed especially against male cockroaches even after three months. In the case of the female cockroaches, decreasing activity is to be observed after approximately four weeks.
Example 4: Effect of N-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)-N'-[2,5-dichIoro-4-(1,1,2,3,3,3- hexafluoropropoxy)-phenyI]-urea and nematodes on Blattella germanica nymphs and adults
The test is carried out in plastics containers (32 × 21.5 × 12 cm3) each of which is covered with a cotton cloth. The containers contain a trap, a hiding-place (egg box), a water vessel (a bottle filled with water and provided with a cotton plug) and food (a petri dish containing ground dog-biscuits). The experiments are carried out at 25°C and 55 % relative humidity.
The traps contain paper inserts which are populated with approximately from 1 to
2 million living S. carpocapsae and, as appropriate, have 50 mg of N-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)-N'-[2,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropoxy)-phenyl]-urea/m2 (active ingredient). For the test, 100 nymphs and 50 male and 50 female adults of Blattella germanica are used. The nymphs are from 7 to 12 days and 5 weeks old, and the adults are from 2 to 3 weeks old (i.e. 11 weeks including nymph development). Dead and living insects are counted after 3, 5, 7, 10, 14 and 17 days and then weekly up to the 7th week. Dead insects are removed at each count. Fresh food and water are given weekly. All traps containing nematodes are replaced after 2 weeks.
