Surat S. Batth

Abstract

Abstract First to sixth generation offspring of samples of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica L., collected from various areas in Canada were tested for resistance to various insecticides applied topically. All collections showed a high level of resistance to chlordane, some resistance to propoxur and malathion, and little or none to chlorpyrifos and diazinon.
