Are Cockroaches Immune To Insecticides?

Cockroaches are known to be existing for ages now. And a recent study predicted that these cockroaches are unstoppable. In fact, cockroaches were possibly roaming on the earth as old as 350 million annum ago. The fossils indicate that they have been living for uncountable years. Moreover, cockroaches have survived dinosaurs and dragon extensions too. So, insecticides are a small challenge for them. 

The adaption power of cockroaches is strong enough to manage almost all conditions. Before they used to live underwood, ground in sandy places. But now, the most favourite place is your home (especially the kitchen area). In the present time, we are observing that cockroaches are multiplying quickly. Even modern techniques and humans can’t get rid of them easily!

Do Cockroaches Have The Power To Fight Insecticides?

Our pest exterminators tackle a variety of cockroach removals and inspections. However, there are a few researchers claiming some unscientific proof for cockroaches. According to these researches, little pests are beginning to oppose any insecticides and pesticides. Moreover, they are starting to become immune to modern pest control methods. 

A Topic In The Ny Daily News Stated In July That:

“A University of Purday reported that German cockroaches have a unique toxin immunity by birth. Another dreadful research, reported on Live Science speaks about German cockroach evolution. These Blattella Germanica gain immunity to fight different poisons also.”

This is moreover a dreadful discovery. In today’s world, the pesticides in use are not as old as 100 years. And cockroaches have been living for millions of years. So, one can simply have the belief that cockroaches can survive any sort of chemical/ pesticides. 

“No one has a hint that a situation like this can also happen so quickly. “Michael Scharf the research co- said, “Roaches develop resistance to various kinds of insecticides at one time. So, exterminating these insects by a single chemical is not possible.”

Saddening Outcome!!

In a controlled experiment, researchers sprayed three types of insecticides for different time intervals. One insecticide was sprayed for one month, then the second for the next one month and so on. As a result, cockroach infestations were controlled but not reduced after six months. 

Whereas, one single insecticide treatment on a cockroach colony shows that the population decreased over time. However, when the same insecticide was put into use for different colonies, the result was not satisfactory. Hence, we can conclude that no such insecticide is present that can single-handedly eliminate the cockroaches. 

Diversified Approach 

These insects are a significant threat to your health. Cockroaches carry harmful bacterias, contaminants and dust. They too have a probability of causing food borne diseases. You may eat their saliva, body parts and faeces when you eat the contaminated food. 

As per professional pest controllers, only a diversified control method is helpful for treating cockroaches. A collection of traps, insecticides and high technology equipment is worth it.
