Mosquitoes are significant health threats, spreading diseases like malaria. Resistance to insecticides, particularly deltamethrin, complicates control efforts. Researchers found that heating deltamethrin enhances its effectiveness against resistant Anopheles mosquitoes. While promising, this method requires controlled conditions and may not suit all applications, highlighting the need for innovative solutions in pest management.

Researchers have studied the oral toxicity of the artificial sweetener sucralose on German cockroaches, finding that a 20% sucralose solution significantly increased mortality rates, dehydration, and reduced gut bacterial diversity. This suggests sucralose might enhance existing pest control methods. Further research is needed to evaluate its efficacy in real scenarios.
