Effectiveness 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

    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.
