Abstract
Synthetic pyrethroids were introduced into pig farms in Japan in the late 1970s for the control of housefly populations, most of which had already developed resistance to organophosphorus and carbamate insecticides. Despite their extensive and intensive use, only a slight or no decrease in susceptibility to pyrethroids has been found until recently, owing probably to the open-type structure of Japanese pig farms. The structure allows flies to take refuge easily during pyrethroid sprays, which helps to preserve susceptible genes in a fly population.
