Background and Objectives: Triatomines are vectors of Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas disease, a parasitic disease that affects mammals and humans. The destruction or transformation of natural ecotopes has intensified, resulting in the invasion of triatomines in households, bringing risks to the population. Thus, the objective of the study was to carry out a data survey on triatomine infestation in the countryside of the city of Taua-Ce, in 2012. Methods: This is a descriptive/exploratory study of a quantitative nature, where the Secondary data were obtained from the Municipal Health Department (Endemic Nucleus). Results: The percentage of infestation in the 15 locations studied was 26.1%, with the most affected locations being: Sítio Central do Incra 50%, Fazenda Brôco 18.2%, Jordão 16.7%, Fazenda Bom Lugar 0%, Fazenda Riacho do Mato 40%, Fazenda Cearauai 37.5%, Sítio Riacho do Mato 30%, Fazenda Cedro 17.4%, Cachoeirinha 27%, Fazenda Várzea do Feijão 24%, Cachoeira do Júlio 41.2%, Fazenda Mutuquinha 9,4%, Sítio Várzea Grande 33.3%, Iparana 9.1% and Cachoeira do Celso 16.7%. Conclusion: The study showed that there is a significant rate of triatomine infestation in the home environment, which represents a great risk to the health of the population of Taua. Therefore, a more frequent entomological control is suggested, going beyond the period of campaigns for a better monitoring of the occurrence of these insects in the area.
