    Q
    How safe is Advance Cockroach Gel Bait for children and pets?
    A

    Advance Cockroach Bait Gel is very safe to use around children and pets as long as you apply it according to the instructions.  Of course, you would not want to place it where children or pets could easily access it.  This gel is often used in schools and day cares instead of sprays because historically gel baits are much safer than other products.

    Q
    How long does the Advance Cockroach Gel Bait product stay soft as a gel?
    A
    How long a gel bait stays soft depends on where you place it.  If you place the gel outside or on concrete or cardboard which soaks up moisture, it will only stay soft for a couple days at best.  If you place it indoors in one of our bait stations for gel, then you can usually get about a week out of it.  However, just because the bait hardens does not mean it is not effective.  Roaches will eat hardened bait for up to 3 months after it is applied.

    Q
    Would I be inviting more cockroaches into my condo?
    I have lived in my condo for 18 months and have never seen a cockroach or any sign of cockroaches, until last night I saw one in my bathroom. Guessing it came in from a vent or drain. If we don't have an "infestation" would we be creating one with a gel that would attract them?
    A
    If you don't actually have an infestation of roaches it would be better to skip the roach bait which could indeed draw them in. Instead consider using a good insecticide such as D-Force Aerosol sprayed all around the cracks and crevices of window frames, door frames, baseboards and places where cables pipes or wires enter through the walls.

    Q
    Why is Advance Cockroach Gel Bait discontinued?
    Please let me know if this new Alpine works.
    A

    The Advance Cockroach Gel Bait has been renamed and re-packaged as Alpine Cockroach Gel Bait Rotation 2. It is designed to be used in rotation with Alpine Cockroach Gel Bait Rotation 1 to prevent bait aversion, a common problem when the same bait is used on a roach population for an extended time.

    Q
    How many boxes of Advance Cockroach Gel Bait do I need for 4 bedrooms and 2 baths?
    I live in a mobile home and money is tight. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths I heard that this is good and want to get it but is 1 box going to be enough for my home
    A
    Without knowing how big the infestation is, it is impossible for us to say how much bait you might need. One box is definitely enough to get you started. We would also recommend you use an Insect Growth regulator to stop the breeding process while you are trying get rid of the roaches (Insect growth regulators are like birth control for roaches). Gentrol IGR would be a good choice and you will only need one 1 fl oz bottle. You will need a sprayer to dilute and apply this product.
