Abstrakt: Insect pests pose a significant threat to stored commodities, necessitating the exploration of alternative pest management strategies. Long-lasting insecticide-incorporated nets (LLINs) have emerged as a promising tool, offering selectivity and reduced ecological impact compared to conventional chemical approaches. However, their efficacy against Ephestia kuehniella Zeller and Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), cosmopolitan stored product moth species, has remained underexplored. This study investigated the immediate and delayed effects of 2 commercial pyrethroid-incorporated nets, Carifend (0.34% α-cypermethrin) and D-Terrence (0.4% deltamethrin), on the adult and larval stages. Both LLINs demonstrated high efficacy in controlling E. kuehniella and P. interpunctella, with mortality rates reaching up to 100% depending on exposure and post-exposure durations. Particularly, rapid knockdown was observed with D-Terrence net inducing 100% of adults in P. interpunctella after 30 min exposure. LLINs achieved almost 100% immediate mortality rate against adults after just 1 day of exposure. In addition, immediate rates of affected individuals reached as high as 81% and 91% in E. kuehniella and P. interpunctella larvae, respectively, following just 5 h of exposure to the D-Terrence. Different responses were observed between the adult and larval stages, with larvae exhibiting higher tolerance and potential for recovery from the affected phase after short exposures. There were increasing mortality rates after greater exposure to LLIN. Findings highlight the potential of LLINs as a pest management tool in storage facilities against these important stored product moths. Understanding the responses between life stages and the significance of delayed effects is crucial for optimizing LLIN deployment strategies.
