AM = arithmetic mean of live fed bedbugs, collected and placed in incubation (15 min), and surviving (48 h, 72 h and 96 h).

Prop. = proportion of live bedbugs relative to the number of bedbugs placed in incubation.

Efficacy (%) = 100 × (Mc – Mt)/Mc, where Mc = Proportion of live, fed bedbugs in the control group at 48 h, 72 h and 96 h, Mt = Proportion of live, fed bedbugs in the treated group at 48 h, 72 h and 96 h, after the 15 min challenge phase.

P-value = One-way ANOVA with a treatment effect.
