Up to 1,000-fold resistance to permethrin was found while resistance levels to 3 other synthetic pyrethroids were much lower, ranging from 10- to 50-fold. All BPH tested were susceptible to DDT, giving circumstantial evidence that in Taiwan BPH resistance to permethrin is not related to DDT resistance, as it is in insects such as the housefly, mosquito and diamond back moth. A metabolic mechanism probably has caused the high BPH resistance to permethrin
