ABSTRACT
Abstract

INTRODUCTION:

Since 2013, major Cimex lectularius infestations have been detected in public shelters in Belo Horizonte (Brazil). Due to this, insecticide resistance has been investigated as one of the possible causes for the failure to control bedbugs.

METHODS:

Cimicids were subjected to bioassays according to the World Health Organization recommendations using deltamethrin and all commercial insecticides available for control of Cimex in Brazil.

RESULTS:

Cimicids were deltamethrin resistant and presented indicative of resistance to other insecticides, except for propoxur 1%.

CONCLUSIONS:

The commercial insecticides have a limited effect on bedbug populations, which may justify the unsatisfactory control observed in the shelters studied.
