Abstract A survey of the occurrence of insecticide or fumigant resistant strains of stored‐product insects is given. Studies on the geographic distribution of insecticide‐resistant strains show that some resistances are localised and others almost universal. Cross‐resistance has been studied in few strains, but malathion resistance may involve resistance to other organo‐phosphorus compounds in at least 6 species. Although resistance to pyrethroids and juvenile hormone analogues is known, these compounds show promise for future use against storage pests.
