Evolution of cockroaches to avoid traps that are sugar coated

We all know cockroach and the way they fly around and mess up things at home, in order to stop them we make traps and set them where they operates most but reports have confirmed that this cockroach now evolving to escape this traps despite the tempting offer regarding the fact that it contains glucose.

These made people to ask why and I know you are also asking why, considering the fact that this sugar coated meal for cockroach is a big offer they can hardly resist.

Research showed that the cockroaches that have glucose aversion escaped all the traps and methods used by man to sugar coat a meal for them.

This they way the german averse cockroaches does it, when they are exposed to sugar instead of liking and rushing to take it stimulate their bitter GRNs (that is like the switch that turns them on to sweet things and turn them on to bitter things or food) and it will suppress the response to the sugary substance restricting them from feeding.

They actually avoid sweet pesticides so if you planning to kill a cockroach with that method then you know what your end result will look like, the unfailing method you could also try is free of charge and doesn't cost much, when you see a cockroach use a bunch of broom to kill them, that's if this prescribed method fails as researched.
