Pest Control FAILS as Insects Become Pesticide Resistant and Immune.
Resistant Pests
Pesticide resistance is a common problem among SOCIAL insects that also have: quick development times, fast reproduction rates, and pests that may not wander far including:
- German Roaches are famous for pesticide resistance, and easily become immune to pesticides that are widely used but not applied with experience, good judgement or effective German Roach Control knowledge.
- Mosquitoes
- Flies
- Bed Bugs – Pesticide resistance is very common with bed bugs! Residents often go to the local Home Depo and pick up a product or two advertised for Bed Bug Control only to discover that they are not effective! This may be due to Bedbug resistance built up to certain products! IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETELY ELIMINATE BED BUGS THEY BECOME IMMUNE TO THE PRODUCT!
- Some Pantry Pests (Food Storage pests)

Percy Gradowski says
When pesticides are the sole or predominant method of pest control, resistance is commonly managed through pesticide rotation. This involves switching among pesticide classes with different modes of action to delay or mitigate pest resistance.

Sorry to hear that Darlene!
Pesticide resistance is likely a problem, especially if they are German roaches. Your pest control professional should have left you a receipt indicating products used at each treatment. Sounds like he needs to switch things up to get control. PLus there are things you can do to help with sanitation and sealing. Sanitation means making sure there are no other food sources for roaches to choose from. You can find a sanitation and maintenance checklist to help YOU control roaches in the second paragraph at https://responsiblepestcontrol.net/guaranteed-german-roach-pest-control-az/ .

Me pest control company has been treating a roach problem for months, and we still have them. Does that mean they are immune to the treatment?
