Advion Cockroach Gel Bait delivers fast, effective roach control in residential and commercial spaces, using food-based ingredients to attract all major roach species, so one treated roach can help eliminate more of the colony.

How Advion Roach Gel Works

Once cockroaches consume Advion Cockroach Gel Bait, the delayed-action formula allows them time to return to their hiding places before dying. This lets infected roaches contaminate others through contact, droppings, or consumption, leading to widespread control. Each poisoned roach can impact up to 40 others. This chain reaction dramatically reduces roach populations, even in severe infestations.

Application Guidelines for Advion Roach Bait Gel

Indoor Applications:

Apply Advion gel bait in cracks, crevices, and voids where roaches hide; behind appliances, under sinks, around plumbing, and within wall voids. Use 1–5 pea-sized spots every 10 linear feet, depending on infestation severity.

Outdoor Applications:

Place Advion roach gel near roach entry points like doors, windows, utility lines, and around dumpsters or garbage areas. Protect gel from rain, sun, and dust by placing it in sheltered cracks and crevices.

Application Rates:

• Heavy infestations: 3–5 spots per 10 linear feet
• Light to moderate infestations: 1–3 spots per 10 linear feet
• Bead applications: Thin lines (<1/8” wide, ~2” long)

Bait Application Spot Size:

Each spot should be ~0.5 grams (about ¼” diameter). One 30g tube provides up to 60 placements. A box of 4 tubes delivers ~240 placements.

Tips for Maximum Effectiveness

• Reapply bait if it's eaten or dried out. Regular inspections are key.
• Keep bait away from food contact surfaces and high-heat areas (over 130°F).
• Avoid applying porous surfaces like cardboard and concrete to prevent drying.
• Combine with good sanitation—remove food crumbs, grease, and water sources.
