EFFECTVIENESS AGAINST BED BUGS (Cimex lectularius)
Main Objective
Evaluate the insecticidal effectiveness of Citrox bioflavonoid complex against Cimex lectularius bed bugs in real-world scenarios.
Methodology
In line with EPA guidelines, we employed Cimex Lectularius specimens. Bed bugs, housed in plastic containers, were subjected to treatment from a 30 cm distance, with tap water as a control. This process was replicated 10 times, comprising 5 treatment and 5 control sets, recording immediate knock-down rates post-application and mortality rates after 24 and 96 hours.
Results
| TIME | TIMEMEAN KNOCK-DOWN AND MORTALITY |
| Immediately upon application | 100% |
| In 24 hours after application | 100% |
| In 96 hours after application | 100% |
