Resistance Mechanisms of Cigarette Beetles (Lasioderma serricorne) to Beta-Cyfluthrin and the Efficacy of Imidacloprid Space Sprays

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) is widely recognized as the most harmful pest in the cigarette production industry. Beta-cyfluthrin, a synthetic pyrethroid, has long been used as an effective pesticide to control L. serricorne in cigarette and food processing facilities. This study aimed to evaluate the resistance of L. serricorne populations collected from the Hefei cigarette factory to beta-cyfluthrin and their response to imidacloprid, an alternative insecticide.
