Abstract
The influence of food and water on the movement of adult German cockroaches from an occupied harbourage shelter to a vacant new shelter was studied. A shelter (5×5×0.5cm) occupied and conditioned by cockroaches and a vacant new shelter were placed in one test container (13×22×7cm) and the change in cockroach distribution was observed. When food and water were placed near one of the two shelters and a barrier plate was set between the two, most of the cockroaches chose the shelter closer to the food and water, regardless whether the shelter was of conditioned or new. However, females, especially in the case there was no barrier, tended to remain in the conditioned shelter.
