Advion Cockroach Gel Bait

How Advion Cockroach Gel Baits WorksAdvion Cockroach bait gel contains the active ingredient Indoxacarb.  After roaches consume the bait, this active ingredient allows for a brief delay in mortality, giving the cockroaches time to return to their harborage site to contaminate other cockroaches. This results in a significant reduction in infestation levels by eliminating large amounts of the roach population. Each roach that comes in contact with bait can contaminate up to 40 other roaches by way of contact, feces, or the other roaches feeding on its poisoned carcass. This domino effect knocks out roach populations at an incredible rate.

For more information on eliminating roach infestations, see our guide on how to get rid of roaches.

Where to apply Advion Cockroach Gel Bait OUTDOORS:

• A thorough inspection around a structure may reveal areas where cockroaches are gaining access. Attempts should be made to remove the access.

Extra Tips for Using Advion Cockroach Gel Bait

• Avoid applying ADVION Cockroach Gel to surfaces recently treated with residual sprays.
• Surfaces treated with ADVION Cockroach Gel should not be treated with residual sprays. Keep sprays low and baits high.
• Repeat applications may be made upon inspection during follow-up inspections of the treated areas.
• Do not apply to surfaces that food contacts.
• Do not allow open foods to contact gel material.

* Do not apply bait to surfaces where the temperature may exceed 120-130 degrees F because this may cause the bait to liquefy and the gel to lose effectiveness.

* If gel comes into contact with exposed surfaces, remove the bait and wash the area with soap and water.

* Store out of extreme temperatures and direct sunlight for up to one year.

* Avoid placing bait on porous surfaces, e.g. concrete or cardboard, or where it may be exposed to air currents. These conditions may cause the bait to dry out and be less attractive.

* If response slows down, try rotating with a different brand of cockroach bait.

* Always practice good sanitation by eliminating other food and water sources to make the bait more attractive.
