Purdue's Gondhalekar Discusses Bait Resistance in Cockroach Control

Ameya Gondhalekar, research professor of entomology at Purdue, sat on a cockroach panel during this year’s pest management conference. All of the panelists agreed that the No. 1 mistake PMPs make when it comes to cockroach control is not using enough bait.

Gondhalekar said that although resistance remains a concern, the pest control has done a good job addressing this challenge thanks to a collaborative effort from researchers, manufacturers and PMPs.
