Insecticides have leading role in reduction of population of arthropods, especially vectors of infectious diseases. Efficacy of insecticides is usually proved on biological material and described after adjusting the values of parameters in some “theoretical” function to the experimental results. In the standard approach, such function is described by probit regression. However, in some cases reaction of the population on pesticide differs from those which could be described by the probit regression curve and the results could not be properly assessed. The aim of this study was to elaboratie a practical tool for evaluating insecticide/acaricide efficacy, more universal than classical probit calculation. Software performing analysis was created using R 2.13.1 statistical software.
