Description
ABSTRACT The city-wide distribution of the Asian cockroach, Blattella asahinai Mizukubo, was determined in Dothan, Alabama in 2008. Surveys were conducted in the summers of 2004 and 2008 and consisted of site visits to all city parks and municipal facilities as well as a number of home, business, and municipal landscapes. Asian cockroaches were found at 95.1% of the locations we examined in 2008. Several sites were sampled at most locations for a total of 65 sites. The elevation of sites with Asian cockroaches was 114.00 [+ or -] 5.76 m (mean [+ or -] SD) above sea level. Of the 63 sites with Asian cockroaches, the cockroaches were found in pine straw at 36 (57.1%) sites and in oak leaf litter at 23 (36.5%) sites. Based on this survey, we conclude that the Asian cockroach is distributed throughout the city of Dothan.
