Abstract

Objective To analyze the cockroach infestation rates determined by the sticky trap method and visual observation, and to evaluate the difference, consistency, and correlation between the two methods. Methods The sticky trap method and visual observation were used simultaneously to carry out comparative studies in four districts in 2018. Between-group comparison was made by the Chi-square test or rank sum test. Results The sticky trap method gave a significantly higher cockroach infestation rate than visual observation (7.92% vs. 2.56%, χ2=153.893, P<0.001). Compared with visual observation, the sticky trap method had a lower frequency of the infestation rate in the 0% group but higher frequencies from the 0%~group to the 70%~group. Both the sticky trap method and visual observation gave higher infestation rates in farmers' markets (16.95%, 4.80%) and food industry (14.17%, 2.76%), and lower infestation rates in hospitals (2.17%, 1.83%) and residential areas (4.29%, 1.58%). By using the sticky trap method, the infestation rate was higher from May to November and lower in in January and November; by visual observation, the cockroach infestation rate was higher from March to July and lower in January and March. The cockroach infestation rates determined by the two methods were consistent (Z=12.212, P<0.001), with a simple Kappa coefficient of 0.47. There was a correlation between the two methods (r=0.560, P<0.001). Conclusion Cockroach infestation can be effectively reflected by the infestation rate determined by the sticky trap method or visual observation. The two methods are to a certain extent consistent and correlated with each other. However, the sticky trap method is more sensitive than visual observation.
