Following the publication of our article [1], we found that an incorrect data set was used in the regression analysis. Figure 1 and the associated analysis results need to be changed.

The corrected Figure 1 and Figure 1 legend are listed below:

Figure 1.

Figure 1

Association between insecticide residue concentration per apartment (mean residue concentration measured in bedroom and kitchen) and initial cockroach count. For regression analysis, those apartments without detected residue and those with a cockroach count <10 were excluded because there are many apartments with small counts, which cause the data to be not normal even after logarithmic transformation.

On page 5 (line 2–4), the sentence is changed to the following: “Insecticide residue concentration in apartments was not correlated with the cockroach counts recorded by the cockroach traps (F = 0.38; df = 1, 25; p = 0.54, R2 = 0.02) (Figure 1)”.

On page 9, line 2, within Section 5, “Conclusions”, the following phrase is deleted: “with concentrations closely correlated with the cockroach infestation”.

The authors wish to apologize for the mistake made and inconveniences caused.
