After the publication of this article [1] the authors noticed citation errors in Table 2. The citations for item 5 listed under pyrethroids and items 2, 3, and 4 listed under temephos refer to the wrong references and these citations have been corrected in the updated Table 2 below. The citations for items 1, 3 and 4 listed under pyrethroids and item 1 listed under temephos are also incorrect and should cite references that have been omitted from the reference list. These citations have been corrected in the updated Table 2 below and the following corresponding references 79–82 should be added to the reference list:
