Abstract
350 plant extracts were studied regarding to their characteristic repe llency to Blattella germanica by means of a preference method. The rep ellency value reveals strong dispersion variation within plant familie s and, in some cases, also within genera. The individual developmental stages and sexes of B. germanica reveal differing behavioural pattern s concerning test extracts. In the case of the strongly repellent extr acts from Citrus sinensis and Allium sativum, there are indications fo r habituation processes regarding the repelling stimuli during long-te rm tests.
