Abstract
The aim of this research project is to analyze the effectiveness of different brands of insecticides on various insect species. Insect pests pose a significant threat to agriculture, human health, and the environment. Insecticides are commonly used to control these pests, but the effectiveness of different brands can vary significantly. Understanding which insecticides are most effective against specific insect species is essential for developing targeted pest management strategies. In this study, three popular brands of insecticides were selected for evaluation Brand A, Brand B, and Brand C. These insecticides were tested against common insect pests including mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches. The effectiveness of each brand was assessed based on criteria such as knockdown rate, mortality rate, residual effect, and overall efficacy. The experimental design involved conducting bioassays in a controlled laboratory setting. Insects were exposed to the insecticides using standard testing protocols, and their responses were monitored over a specified period. Data on knockdown rates and mortality rates were collected at regular intervals to determine the immediate and long-term effects of each insecticide. The results of the study revealed significant differences in the effectiveness of the three brands of insecticides. Brand A demonstrated the highest knockdown and mortality rates across all tested insect species, indicating superior immediate killing efficacy. Brand B showed moderate effectiveness, while Brand C exhibited the lowest efficacy in controlling insect pests. Furthermore, the residual effect of the insecticides was assessed by monitoring insect mortality rates over an extended period after initial exposure. Brand A maintained a high level of effectiveness even after several days, suggesting a longer-lasting residual effect compared to the other brands. Brand B also showed some residual activity, albeit to a lesser extent, while Brand C had the shortest duration of efficacy. Overall, the findings of this study highlight the importance of selecting the right insecticide for specific pest control needs. Brand A emerged as the most effective insecticide for immediate and residual control of common insect pests. These results provide valuable insights for pest management professionals, policymakers, and consumers in making informed decisions regarding insecticide selection and pest control strategies.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

PRELIMINARY
For a research or project to planned and also execute the must be recession it may be opposed affirm or prove an ascertain which form the topic of a project work. As a statistician, in other to acquire the motive behind this research or project statistical techniques will employed after the results of an experiment have obtained or generated. However, in order to gain as much information as possible the design of an experiment must be planned carefully in advance this is often referred to as the design of the experiment. Some important examples of experimental design are complete randomization, random block, latin squares Greco Latin sqares etc.

In the same vain, this project work emanated as a result of some unasserted question concerning different brands of insecticide which is the population of interest. Thus, the topic of this research work is analysis of effectiveness of different brands of insecticide on insects is born out of the following question: Is it also true that the effectiveness of a particular insecticide is determined by the type of insect or that the brands of insecticide apply has influence on the time spend by killing an insect? Is it really possible that these insecticides perform the same function at equal time period? Do these insects spends the same time to die with different brands of insecticide
