    Q
    Does this work for Large Roaches? I have Palmetto Bugs and other Large Roach Type Bugs.
    A
    The Advion Roach Bait Arena made for smaller roaches such as the Brown-Banded or German roaches. When dealing with the larger roaches such as the Palmetto Bugs (aka American Roaches) it may be better to use a roach bait gel such as The Maxforce FC Magnum or the Advion Roach Bait Gel. You can apply the gel directly to cracks or crevices and you will not have to worry about whether or not the roach can fit into a station.

    Q
    Advion bait stations not working?
    We saw 1 roach scurry from behind the oven up the wall after cranking the oven way up to 500 to bake something. I had been smelling a weird musty smell that I associate with roaches for a month or two but had not seen any. We had the AC running so I thought if might be musty from not having windows open though. We never see anything scurrying if we flip the lights in the middle of the night. Have had the stations placed for a few days but have not seen any dead or dying roaches. What gives?
    A
    Just because you are not seeing dead roaches does not mean they are not dieing. They are not always going to die out in the open and often times will die in their nest. Are you seeing less roaches than you were before you put the stations down? Do you have enough stations down for the amount of infestation you have and is there still bait inside the stations you put down? Also, are you using any IGR's with your roach control regiment? If you are only using a bait, you could be killing off part of the colony just as quickly as they reproduce, so using a product like Gentrol IGR will sterilize the roaches so they cannot keep reproducing. Please look over our guide How To Get Rid of Roaches to make sure you are taking all the necessary chemical and non chemical steps to properly and completely eliminate the infestation.

    Q
    How often I need to replace Advion Roach Bait Arenas in an apartment?
    I placed Advion roach bait 3 months ago and I still see roaches, the baits are not depleted. Should I replace them?
    A

    Roach infestations do not build up in a short period of time and they do not usually go away in a short period of time especially in an apartment. Roach infestations can take several months to get rid of, though most folks see the infestation dramatically decline within the first couple weeks of treating. You would want to replace the Advion Roach Bait Arenas as often as needed when they are empty.

    We recommend that you use caulk or other suitable material to close any crack, crevice or gap around baseboards, pipes, wires, cables, cabinets, vents, door frames, window frames and any other place where insects could enter. This will help stop the roaches from moving from adjoining apartments through the walls and into your apartment

    In addition, you should spray around the perimeter of each room with a good insecticide such as Demon WP and you should use an insect growth regulator (Gentrol) to control the breeding cycle of the roaches that have already entered your apartment.

    Q
    Is Advion Roach Bait Arena a liquid or powder? How is it applied?
    A

    Advion Roach Bait Arena contains 60 bait stations that are pre-filled with roach bait gel.  You will place them in areas where cockroaches frequent such as along walls or corners, under or near kitchen appliances and industrial equipment, under sinks, in cabinets, and utility areas.  They are also used in areas like drawers and cabinets where bait could otherwise be at risk of contaminating utensils or food.

  • Asked by Cyn from Raleigh, Nc
    08/29/2015
    Q
    Do Advion Roach Bait Arenas expire? Or do the roaches become immune?
    In the beginning (a couple/few years ago), they worked great. We pretty much eradicated our roach problem. They're coming back again - and there is still plenty of stuff left inside each station. So my question is whether they expire - or is it possible the roaches have developed an immunity to this product?
    A

    Advion Roach Arenas do contain bait so after several years they can be less palatable to the roaches. Please take a few moments to review our How to Get Rid of Roaches article for some helpful information. Just because you are not seeing dead roaches does not mean they are not dieing. They are not always going to die out in the open and often times will die in their nest. Are you seeing less roaches than you were before you put the stations down? Do you have enough stations down for the amount of infestation you have and is there still bait inside the stations you put down? Also, are you using any IGR's with your roach control regiment? If you are only using a bait, you could be killing off part of the colony just as quickly as they reproduce, so using a product like Gentrol IGR will sterilize the roaches so they cannot keep reproducing. Switching baits after a length of time using the same one is a good idea for a good pest management program for roach elimination. We also have Roach Control Kits that offer a great pest control plan for this insect.

    Q
    Will Advion attract roaches from other apartments or just my own?
    A

    Advion Roach Bait Arena will not attract roaches from other units, only the ones in the area it is placed.  It will help with those roaches that are in other areas if these same roaches eat the bait and go back to the colonies or contact other roaches that have eaten or died from it.

  • Asked by A from Ny, Ny
    07/16/2019
    Q
    Can Advion Cockroach Bait Arena be used at the same time with a roach bait that uses Fipronil like Maxforce?
    A

    It is not recommended to Advion Cockroach Bait Arena along with other roach bait gels like the Maxforce that contains Fipronil. These roach bait gels use different food based ingredients to attract roaches to the bait.  If you were to use two competing sources, the roaches will not be able to follow the scent of the attractant. 

    It is recommended to rotate roach baits every 90 days, so that is when you could switch to the Maxforce or the Advion. Please review our Roach Treatment Guide for more information. Here is a video on where to place the roach bait gel placements for the best results.

    Q
    After using Advion Roach Bait Arena, which product do you suggest to use to keep bugs out?
    We haven't seen any bugs for a few days.

    If you had been using Advion Roach Bait Arena and want to keep up with a general pest control around the perimeter of your home, you can start out with one of our most popular products called Talstar P. Of course, there are several products you can also use to rotate with for your general pest control applications. If you have something specific in mind you can contact us and we can help you determine if Talstar P would work for your needs.

    Q
    Can Advion Cockroach Bait Arena also be used against small ants?
    I have small ants that first appeared on the kitchen counters that meet up with an outside wall
    A

    There is a possibility that the Advion Cockroach Bait Arena could work to kill small black ants if there were to get into the station and eat it.  The bait matrix is designed only to attract roaches though so we cannot advise nor comment on using off label for ants specifically.

    Q
    Are the Advion Cockroach Bait Arena stations a different bait from the gel?
    I have ordered the Advion Gel and they wont touch it.
    A

    The Advion Roach Bait Arenas are made for smaller roaches such as the Brown-Banded or German roaches. When dealing with the larger roaches such as the Palmetto Bugs (aka American Roaches) it may be better to use a roach bait gel such as The Maxforce FC Magnum or the Advion Roach Bait Gel. Please refer to our Roach Treatment Guide for more tips on how to eradicate this pest.

    Q
    How can I tell when the Advion Cockroach Bait Arena is empty?
    I purchased 60 of them a year ago and didn't use all of them. I don't know how to tell if there's still bait in them
    A

    The Advion Cockroach Bait Arena https://www.domyown.com/advion-cockroach-bait-arena-p-396.html has a shelf life of 5 years. Any bait arenas that have not been used would still contain bait and be fine to use. Once in use the arenas should be replaced every 3 months.

  • Asked by Wendy from Tn
    07/17/2021
    Q
    How long does it take for Advion Cockroach Bait Arena to work?
    We see a roach every now and then. We bought the roach arenas. We was wondering how long it would take for them to go away.
    A

    The Advion Cockroach Bait Arenas start working immediately once you put them out. The level of population you are starting with will determine how long the infestation make take to eliminate completely. For most this is a 2-4 month process if using all recommended products for controlling roaches, such as using an IGR to stop the reproductive cycle, and an insecticide concentrate that helps transfer through the colony.
