The generation before those organisms survived the chemical sprayed on them because they carried a certain gene. This gene is then passed onto their offspring. The more animals or insects reproduce, the more resistant they become to chemicals or pesticides.

∙ 11y agobacteria have natural diversity. therefore, when a chemical kills bacteria, it typically does not kill all of them. such as hand sanitizer, which kills 99.99% of bacteria. out of the millions of tiny bacteria on your hand, a few survive. these reproduce, passing on the genes to resist the hand sanitizer. now your hands are covered in a pathogen which cannot be killed conventionally, and that probably want revenge for you killing their brothers. so they catch a ride on your food, enter your stomach, and give you a bad case of stomach flu...hope you enjoyed my little story as a real life example :)
