متن کاملBehavioral and physiological resistance of the German cockroach to gel baits (Blattodea: Blattellidae).
A gel bait-resistant German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.), strain Cincy was collected in Cincinnati, OH. This strain exhibited a high level of behavioral resistance to Avert (0.05% abamectin) and Maxforce FC (0.01% fipronil) gel baits.
