Now that his team has identified the genetic sequences bedbugs use to make these detoxifying compounds, Adelman says scientists can check populations worldwide to see how far this defensive capability extends.

Let's see. Bedbugs have been around for MILLIONS of years yet insecticides are a very recent manmade development. So how did the bedbug have sophisticated genes that could resist these insecticides? It is almost like when bedbugs developed millions of years ago, something knew in advance that they would one day in the distant future have to fight off insecticides developed by a species that didn't even exist yet.

These bed bugs didn’t “evolve” these defenses over the last couple decades, they already had them encoded in their genes.

The Evolutionists are so dedicated to the primary axiom that they see Evolution in every thing, even in the design of sport cars.

How hot is the air that comes out of my blow-dryer? If it’s hot enough, couldn’t I just blow-dry the mattress and sheets at the hotel for a few minutes to get rid of any bugs I didn’t see when I checked the sheets and mattress?

The government causes efficient insecticides taken off the market....DDT for one decades ago and hello malaria which was almost wiped out world wide.....My bee man use to be able to come out and spray my home once a summer to get rid of yellow jackets, wasps, bee's but 5 years ago the government outlawed the insecticide he used...the environmental nuts raised cane... Raid use to be more effective years back, not as good any more... Which begs the question is it the bed bugs or the government that causes the problem.

There is nothing new about toxins.

How about that stuff Ricky the Exterminator uses? I think its made out of Chrysanthemum oil. Kills the heck out of wasps. All natural.

The insecticide is not new..

Pyrethroids are just a little bit of tinkering with a natural compound found in a pyrethrin Chrysanthemum.

The compound existed in nature already.

Most insecticides are based on naturally occurring toxins. It was just a small trait some had for a long time that probably didn’t matter much, but then the age of insecticides came on and that small trait kept a small number alive, and they bred, and now 60 years later we have bed bugs that are resistant to most insecticides.

No knowledge required. Random chance played out 30 trillion times. You roll 100 dice 30 trillion times, and you, too, will have them all turn up 6's.

How Bedbugs Are Becoming Resistant to Today's Insecticides (How did Genes KNOW about Insecticides?)

They don't know. In any wild population, there is a wide range of genetic variation. Some individuals of a species are more susceptible to certain toxins than others. Kill those off and the others that are inherently more resistant will survive and replace those with lower resistance. There are other responses to environmental threats that result in increased rates of mutations caused by portions of genes getting swapped around leading to different physiological responses to the cause of stress, some of which ensure survival.
