Laboratory tests were carried out to determine the resistance levels of strains of Musca domestica L. collected from 4 sites in Sabah and Sarawak in Borneo in 1976 to DDT, resmethrin (Chrysron), dichlorvos (DDVP) fenthion (Baytex), fenitrothion (Sumithion) and diazinon following topical application. In general, the test strains exhibited higher susceptibility to the insecticides, especially DDT, than did a Japanese strain (from Takatsuki).
