An ecological pilot project for the control of Triatoma dimidiata allowed a new evaluation four and five years after environmental modifications in the peridomestic areas of 20 households. It was verified that the two groups of houses, 10 case-houses and 10 control-houses, were free of insects after those periods of time. In the first group, the owners started a chicken coop in the backyard and a colony of bugs was found there without infesting the house. In the second group, the inhabitants of one house once again facilitated the conditions for the bugs to thrive in the same store room, reaffirming that man-made ecotopes facilitates colonization. This ecological control method was revealed to be reliable and sustainable and it is recommended to be applied to those situations where the vectors of Chagas disease can colonize houses and are frequent in wild ecotopes.
一项控制二点锥猎蝽的生态试点项目，在对20户家庭的住宅周边区域进行环境改造后的四年和五年进行了新的评估。结果证实，两组房屋，即10个病例房屋和10个对照房屋，在那段时间后都没有昆虫。在第一组中，房主在后院建了一个鸡舍，在那里发现了一群虫子，但没有侵扰房屋。在第二组中，一所房屋的居民再次为虫子在同一储藏室中繁衍创造了条件，再次证明人造生态环境有利于虫子繁殖。这种生态控制方法被证明是可靠和可持续的，建议应用于恰加斯病病媒能够在房屋中繁殖且在野生生态环境中常见的情况。
