A new study on a domestic insect, impossible to kill and get rid of in the future, by chemical pesticides, as a result of its development.
Researchers from the University of Bordeaux in the United States found that some German cockroaches, one of the most common cockroaches in the United Kingdom, can transmit their resistance genes to their offspring, according to The Sun newspaper.
"We do not have the slightest idea that something like this will happen so fast," said Michael Scharf, co-author of the study, warning that the resistance of cockroaches to various types of pesticides, as developed, will make it difficult to control them with chemicals only.
He pointed out that these cockroaches are very dangerous to human health, because they carry dozens of species of bacteria, including "Euclair" and "Salmonella", which can be fatal diseases.
He added that these insects leave their stools and toys, and parts of the body, which can cause asthma and allergies and limit the growth of children.
German cockroaches can be found all over the world where humans live, and cockroaches can produce dozens of cockroaches every few months.
In the study, researchers tested three different types of insecticides on cockroaches in residential buildings throughout the United States.
Within 6 months, they found that the number of cockroaches either remained steady or actually increased. The cockroach breed was resistant to insecticides and showed signs of resistance to other chemicals.
The researchers found that using one type of insecticide to eliminate cockroaches was the most effective method but was not 100% effective.
Researchers believe that future methods of pest control should include increased hygiene.
