The LC 50 for resistant mite strains has been observed over 100,000 times greater than that of susceptible strains. Thus resistance management strategies are important in order to limit the increase of etoxazole resistant mite strains. [3] [4] Etoxazole has a mammalian toxicity LD 50 of 5 g/kg and an environmental persistence DT 50 of 19 days. [5]
