Abstract:

Objective　To investigate the level of public awareness of cockroach control at Shunyi district, providing evidence for cockroach control in this region. Methods　An on?site investigation was conducted using self?designed questionnaires concerning the knowledge of cockroach prevention and control. Results　More than 90% of the investigated people had knowledge of cockroaches and a high level of understanding of cockroach habits. As for the prevention and control of cockroaches, most people preferred to handle the task by themselves, accounting for 59.98%. Those who tended to consult the Neighborhood Committee, the Patriotic Health Campaign Committee, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention accounted for 17.34%, 12.92% and 5.42%, respectively. Cockroach?killer agents had been the most common control measure, accounting for 32.13%. Conclusion　The general awareness of cockroaches was relatively high among the surveyed population, in spite of a deficiency of the knowledge related to the prevention and control of cockroaches. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the development of a market?oriented operational mode of cockroach control, and promote the technical guidance and training of cockroach prevention and control for all industries in the region.
