The effect of short-term heat pre-treatment on the toxicity of contact insecticides was tested on Sitophilus granarius adults from three populations in order to examine possible interactions. In the laboratory: (a) weevil paralysis time (PT) after start of direct exposure to 50 °C; (b) the impact of three short-term heat pre-treatments at 50 °C (PT20, PT50 and PT80) on the 24 and 72 h recovery rates of laboratory (Lab) strain adults exposed to one of five insecticides on filter papers; and (c) deltamethrin and dichlorvos toxicity to weevils of two populations with altered insecticide susceptibility after exposure to 50 °C over the PT80 interval, were determined.
