Estimate (95% CI) Estimate (95% CI) Estimate (95% CI)
Imidacloprid - - 4130 (1370–12454)
S. infuscatum Fipronil 1020 (421–2469) 29.3 (10.7–47.9) 8.4 (5.6–12.6)

Imidacloprid 227 (123–516) 6.7 (3.7–12.1) 41.8 (30.1–58.0)
S. frequens Fipronil 2775 (579–13302) 2.9 (1.9–4.5) 9.1 (6.7–12.5)

LC50 of the 48-h acute toxicitytest and instar 3 larvae and FI EC50 of S. frequens were estimated by probit analysis. FI EC50 of S. infuscatum was estimated by dose-response curve analysis (S1 and S2 Figs).
