encapsulated chlorpyriphos product was 100% effective – a result obtained<br />

despite the fact that a dose of only 25% of the recommended was applied.<br />

Due to the fact that only 20 field collected bed bug strains were included in<br />

the test, it is not possible with certainty to conclude that the results represent<br />

the situation among all bed bug populations in Denmark. However, we do<br />

believe that some general considerations about the practical application of the<br />

available insecticides can be made based on the present results.<br />

Chlorpyriphos, in particular the micro-incapsulated formulation, has proved<br />

sufficiently effective against all the tested populations and can thus still be<br />

considered suitable for bed bug control. As all the tested populations showed<br />

moderate to high resistance against permethrin and deltamethrin there is a<br />

high risk that other bed bug populations in Denmark will also be resistant<br />

against synthetic pyrethroids. As chlorpyriphos probably disappears from the<br />

Danish market during the next couple of years, all that is left are the<br />

pyrethroids which, in many cases, might be inefficient according to this<br />

project. Consequently, it is very important to examine the possibilities of both<br />

new control methods and methods for preventing and detecting bed bugs.
