Adult bedbugs, Cimex lectularius, were exposed for 24 h (25oC) to filter paper treated with various dilutions of the technical grade of nine insecticides dissolved in acetone to determine the concentration‐response relationships. The order of toxicity, from most to least based on the LC50's was: dichlorvos, pirimiphos methyl, lambda‐cyhalothrin, bendiocarb, permethrin, malathion, carbaryl, tetrachlorvinphos, and fenvalerate.}, number={1}, journal={MEDICAL AND VETERINARY ENTOMOLOGY}, author={FLETCHER, MG and AXTELL, RC}, year={1993}, month={Jan}, pages={69–72} } @article{fletcher_axtell_1991, title={SUSCEPTIBILITIES OF NORTHERN FOWL MITE, ORNITHONYSSUS-SYLVIARUM (ACARINA, MACRONYSSIDAE), AND CHICKEN MITE, DERMANYSSUS-GALLINAE (ACARINA, DERMANYSSIDAE), TO SELECTED ACARICIDES}, volume={13}, ISSN={["0168-8162"]}, DOI={10.1007/BF01193664}, abstractNote={The relative toxicities of ten acaricides to northern fowl mite,Ornithonyssus sylviarum (Canestrini and Fanzago), and the chicken mite,Dermanyssus gallinae (De Geer), were determined simultaneously by holding the mites inside disposable glass Pasteur pipettes previously immersed in acetone solutions of various concentrations (w/v) of technical grade acaricides. The LC90s (parts per million) of the acaricides after 24 h exposure for the northern fowl mite and the chicken mite, respectively, were: bendiocarb (13.1, 0.18), tetrachlorvinphos (14.5, 4.07), carbaryl (15.0, 0.83), pirimiphos methyl (18.3, 2.03), permethrin (23.1, 8.46), lambda cyhalothrin (80.7, 11.4), dichlorvos (252.8, 3.75), malathion (238.4, 6.59), amitraz (6741, 9430) and fenvalerate (>10000, 60.2).
