How Advance Cockroach Gel Bait Works

Advance Cockroach Gel Bait combines a unique bait matrix with the active ingredient Dinotefuran. Dinotefuran is a newer non-repellent active ingredient that the EPA has granted Reduced Risk status for public health use. Dinotefuran is part of the insecticide class neonicotinoids, neuro-active insecticides that are modeled after nicotine. Dinotefuran is a central nervous system inhibitor that takes effect after insects ingest it.

The effects of the active ingredient are slow enough that roaches who have consumed Advance Cockroach Gel Bait will come in contact with other roaches and transfer the active ingredient, either directly or indirectly through feeding on feces or poisoned carcasses. There is no known pest resistance to dinotefuran.

Target Pests

Roaches

PESTS CONTROLLED: Cockroaches. Bait does not exclude any species.

Target Uses

Advance Cockroach Gel Bait can be used for virtually any roach infestation when a gel bait is desired. The active ingredient dinotefuran is especially helpful for roach populations that have developed resistance to older or more popular baits. The formulation of Advance Gel also has a lighter color than many other popular gel baits, making it a better choice for applications where staining may be of concern. Advance has an extremely broad label and can be used even in very sensitive situations, especially when sprays are either prohibited or undesirable.

Gel baits are not ideal for preventative measures as they may attract roaches that were otherwise not in the area. Be sure to eliminate competing food and water sources for best results.

ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Dinotefuran 0.5%

Application Instructions

Use Advance Cockroach Gel Bait as a spot or crack and crevice treatment where roach activity is observed.

SPOT TREATMENT:
• To apply gel, remove cap from tip of applicator tube. 
• Apply gel in a 3 - 6 mm diameter spot (0.25 - 0.50 g). Approximately 10 spots per 100 sq. ft. are recommended for use under conditions with low to moderate infestation. For more severe infestations, approximately 20 spots per 100 sq. ft. are recommended. 
• Apply many spots in areas of roach traffic and suspected harborage. 
• Numerous small application spots are preferable to fewer larger application spots.
• Do not treat food preparation surfaces. Do not apply gel to areas that have been recently sprayed with insecticide. Do not spray insecticide products over gel placements as this may make gel repellent and reduce its effectiveness. 
• Reapply if gel placements are no longer visible and/or re-infestation occurs.
• Replace cap when finished dispensing gel. 

CRACK & CREVICE TREATMENT:
This product can be applied as spots or as a line along cracks and crevices. Gel bait should be applied directly into cracks and crevices where insects hide. Place the applicator tip directly into cracks and crevices and deposit gel in small spots or in a continuous bead. Bait should be in the void area and not on open or exposed surfaces.

Always read the product label completely before use.

Each box of 4 x 30g tubes yields approximately 120 bait placements. Each box includes 4 x 1.058 oz. tubes, plus injector syringes and application tips.

Standard Application Rates:

*10 spots per 100 sq. ft. – Low to moderate infestations

*20 spots per 100 sq. ft. – Severe infestations

*Use 3-6mm (1/8 – ¼”) diameter spots (0.25 – 0.50 g)

For use in the following areas:

Commercial, Institutional and Warehousing Establishments (including computer facilities, food/feed processing plants, hospitals, hotels, laboratories, motels, nursing homes, pet shops, restaurants, schools, sewers, supermarkets, warehouses and zoos), Residences and Transportation Equipment (aircraft, buses, boats/ships and trains)

Indoors-

Exact placement should be based on a complete monitoring and inspection. See our Indoor Roach Control Guide for images and more details. Applications should focus on cracks and crevices in areas where activity has been observed or is likely, such as near water sources, around pipe collars, where utilities enter, around or under appliances, underneath counters, where cupboard frames meet the wall, along drawer slides, along baseboards, doorframes, and windowsills. If using residual sprays, do not use sprays and baits in the same places: keep sprays in low areas on or near the floor and use baits in higher locations.

Food Handling Establishments: Application is limited to cracks and crevices where insects hide. Use applications rates above. Bait should not be used in open areas or on surfaces where contamination of food or food handling equipment may occur. Reapply bait as needed.

Aircraft: Application within passenger areas of aircraft is limited to Crack & Crevice treatment only. Apply Advance in areas between elements of constructions (such as areas under sinks, openings around pipes, under shelving, where shelving meets other shelves or the wall, area between and around microwaves, where support braces attach to the main structure and where seats are attached to the floor.) Apply 10-20 spots per 100 sq. ft. as described above. Do not apply bait to areas that are routinely washed such as cracks and crevices in tops of tables, food preparation and food holding surfaces as bait may be removed by washing. Care should be taken to avoid depositing gel onto exposed surfaces. Do not apply any bait in cockpit area.

Outdoors-

Use for control of cockroaches. Inject into cracks and crevices around windows and doors, porches, screens, eaves, patios, garages, under stairways and other areas adjacent to structures where cockroaches may find harborage. Environmental stresses such as direct sunlight and water will reduce the residual effectiveness, so apply bait in protected areas whenever possible.

Extra Tips

*Use bait within 2 years of purchase. Use tubes within 1 year of opening.

*Keep out of sunlight or excess heat.

*Do not apply to surfaces that may reach excessive temperatures, such as portions of stoves, ovens, grills, fume hoods, steam tables, toasters, fryers, or hot water pipes.

*Do not treat food preparation surfaces.

*Do not apply gel to areas that have been recently sprayed with insecticide. Do not spray insecticide products over gel placements as this may make gel repellent and reduce its effectiveness.

*Do not place treatments in locations where routine cleaning might remove bait or transfer bait to food or food preparation surfaces.

*Apply bait away from air currents to prevent drying. Avoid placement on paper, cardboard, or other porous surfaces such as unsealed concrete.

*Sanitation should always be the top priority when treating for roaches! See our Roach Control page for more information.

*Good programs rotate baits to avoid resistance. Change baits every few months or alternate with different bait (and different active ingredients) for best results.
