The following is true; the whole story can be found on p. 101 of the
July Scientific American:
S.C. Johnson Corporation, maker of Raid, breeds 80,000 roaches a week
to test its products on. It maintains a number of different breeds,
including some pesticide-resistant ones. One of the most resistant is
called HRDC. These almost unkillable roaches are so named because they
were collected from the halls of the House of Representatives in the
District of Columbia.
