These fights are\nnot equally balanced if you want a chemical war. That&#8217;s not even real. The\ninsects we attack adapt by biological evolution in response to each round of\nchemicals we apply. The quicker the evolution, the more violent is the attack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These creepy crawlies evolve faster than\nour ability to comprehend. They are notoriously\nhard to get rid of, and it\u2019s about to get worse. Cockroaches and bedbugs are\nlong been known to develop resistance to commonly used pesticides, but modern\ndata has shown that they may also develop cross-resistance to chemicals to\nwhich they have never been exposed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s have a look at some shreds of\nevidence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u201cCockroaches are becoming immune to\ninsecticides\u201d \u2013 CNN News<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it&#8217;s not the heat death of the Earth\nthat consumes us; if we are not snuffed out by blight, famine, and the volatile\nhubris of mankind, it&#8217;s only a matter of time before the cockroaches rise and conquer\nus all. They are growing stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are keen on our defenses and devour\nthem, snickering all the while at our impotent pest control burlesque. If\nthings continue down this dark path the exterminated, in time, will become the\nexterminators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fatalistic vision is brought to you\nby the very disturbing news that cockroaches have begun to develop a\ncross-resistance to powerful insecticides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientists from Purdue exposed German cockroaches to different insecticides and found that the cockroach populations not only developed a resistance to the insecticide they were exposed to but also picked up resistance to other insecticides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The super-immune insects can then pass\ntheir resistance on to their offspring, making it only a matter of time before\na given population becomes, essentially, insecticide-proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u201cBed bugs develop resistance to widely\nused pesticides\u201d- BBC News<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new study indicates that bed bugs in\nthe US have developed resistance to neonicotinoids, the most widely used\ninsecticide in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers found the blood-sucking\ninsects in Cincinnati and Michigan had &#8220;dramatic levels&#8221; of immunity\nto regular doses of the chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To kill these bugs required\nconcentrations 1,000 larger than needed to eliminate non-resistant creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientists say non-chemical methods\nof control now need to be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the increase in the global human\npopulation and the rapid expansion of international travel, the flat-bodied bed\nbug has become a source of considerable irritation in hotel rooms all over the\nworld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mainly active at night, the insects\nsurvive solely on blood and travelers often wake up with bite marks and red\nweal all over their bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Infestations have spread to homes and\noffices and the bugs are extremely hard to get rid of once they gain a\nfoothold; they can survive for up to a year without feeding and a single\nfertilized female can infect an entire apartment building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, farmers in the United States lost\n7% of their crops to pests in the 1940s; by the 1980s and 1990s, the loss had\nincreased to 13%, despite the use of more pesticides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New studies have found pesticide\nresistance has been found in over 500 species of insects, mites, and spiders\naround the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides\nroaches and bed bugs; head lice, houseflies, mosquitoes, aphids, steam rice borer,\nand other common insects have developed resistance to commonly used pesticides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A recent study found that over the last 30 years, the biomass of insects had declined in wild forests by 70 percent.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with\nthis pesticides are well-known to kill pollinators which are beneficial for our\necosystem.
