Abstrakt: Cockroaches are dictyopteran insects that appeared on earth more than 440 million years ago, with more than 4440 species of cockroaches that are known to date, many of which are considered pests and cause many problems. health issues for humans, such as allergies. The fight against cockroaches is one of the current problems that the scientific world is trying to solve, in the face of the chemicals widely used today and which cause the development of resistance in the treated insects in addition to their impact on the environment. In the present study we tested the toxicity of the aqueous extract of three plants of Solanaceae ( Solanum nigrum, Nicotiana glauca and Atropa balladona ) with regard to the adults of Blattella germanica, where we marked a high mortality rate which can reaching 90% of the population after 30 days of exposure to a dose of 1000 μg / ml of the Solanum nigrum extract, the results give a toxic effect on cockroaches determined at different lethal and sublethal times (TL50% and TL 90 %).
