Abstract
Previous study showed that German cockroaches, Blattella germanica (L. ), evolved behavioral resistance to a chlorpyrifos-based commercial ba it. Feeding experiments with chorpyrifos-treated dog chow were underta ken 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.
