Didn't want to contaminate Iain's thread, as off on a slightly different tangent.
One does wonder if the newer generation of gels etc has caused resistance, or if it is infact the bait layers who have caused the problems ( if they do exist)
Watching a thread on a US forum where a firm lost a bid to treat a restaurant chain because the winning bid was $18.00 per restaurant. How much time and bait can you afford to offer for $18.00? Without the latest rates, am guessing that is about ten pounds.

Nearest round figure, a tenner, aye Dust. And it simply can't be done. No matter what ye doing, against what pest. I wouldn't hang a frigging Fly Paper for a tenner!
But this (or That) is an issue long since ~ and probably repeatedly ~ beaten out on this and other fora; The craic about the lunatic who virtually pays others to let him do a job for them. It's simply not possible to keep that up.
And, I suspect, someone out there has, by now, tried about every possible permutation of 'Catch' attached to the basic principle. Yet I'm yet to hear of any such scheme continuing.
Anyway, yeppers; Again, regardless of what treatment one is supposedly employing against what ever pest, by that regimen? It'll all collapse and a very sparsely and thus badly job will be left barely started. Give the targets a taste and then vanish? As ye imply; Surely the most sure fire route to resistance?

I like to rotate the producT I use, throwing in somewthing with a differnt AI no later than every two years, often 12 monthly. With the gels around, that is not that easy to do, given all considerations.

Are we causing our own problem with resistance?
