Response of behaviorally resistant German cockroaches (Dictyoptera: Blatellidae) to the active ingredient in a commercial bait

Previous study showed that German cockroaches, Blattella germanica (L.), evolved behavioral resistance to a chlorpyrifos-based commercial bait. Feeding experiments with chorpyrifos-treated dog chow were undertaken to determine whether cockroaches avoided the active ingredient or a base ingredient. T...

Zusammenfassung:	Previous study showed that German cockroaches, Blattella germanica (L.), evolved behavioral resistance to a chlorpyrifos-based commercial bait. Feeding experiments with chorpyrifos-treated dog chow were undertaken to determine whether cockroaches avoided the active ingredient or a base ingredient. The results indicate that resistance was caused by aversion to the active ingredient
