The German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.), is the most important indoor public health
insect pest. In this study, we investigated the relationship between test arena size and insecticide
resistance level in the German cockroach. We used several field-collected strains and tested them
on a gel bait containing 0.01% fipronil in different types of arena. We discuss how test arena size
could potentially affect the results of insecticide resistance bait assay.
