Advion Cockroach Gel Bait is a professional-strength roach killer trusted by pest control experts and homeowners. Formulated with the powerful, non-repellent active ingredient Indoxacarb, Advion roach gel targets a wide range of cockroach species, including German, American, and Oriental roaches while delivering fast, comprehensive control through a proven domino effect.
After ingestion, the delayed-action formula gives cockroaches time to return to their hiding spots, where they spread the bait to other roaches through contact, feces, and consumption of the carcasses. This chain reaction eliminates entire roach colonies, even bait-averse roaches.
Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, Advion cockroach bait is easy to apply in cracks, crevices, and other common roach hiding places. Use it in homes, restaurants, warehouses, hospitals, hotels, and other commercial or industrial spaces for reliable results. Each 30g tube provides up to 60 bait placements, making it a cost-effective solution for infestations of any size.
We provide 1 Plunger PER ORDER to expel the bait from the tubes. You can purchase extra plungers or you can purchase a bait gun for use with this product. We recommend the Masterline professional bait gun.

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

Worked like a miracle
By Gail on 06/12/2007
My husband and I could hardly believe it. The Advion Cockroach Gel Bait worked like a miracle. My husband used it first on Saturday morning, 6/9/07. The next day most of the gel had been eaten off the back of our dog feeder (against the wall, so the dogs couldn't get it). That had been the roach's favorite hunting ground. I applied some more, and by that night they were, for the most part, gone. Today is Tuesday and they're GONE! I actually bought way too much, so I am going to help out two of my friends, who each have problems that they haven't been able to fix. I know that with one tube each, their problems will be over. It really is a miraculous product. Thank you so much for having such a wonderful product.

Another WOW!
By David on 02/14/2010
I've never felt compelled to write a review like this, but here goes... After moving into my dream house I discovered I had a huge roach problem. Every morning when I snapped on the lights in the kitchen you see them scurrying everywhere. Even the exterminator coming several times brought no salvation. After reading the reviews here, I bought some Advion and went to work putting it out as recommended. The next morning when I went into the kitchen I was greeted by DOZENS of dead or dying roaches. I have not seen a live one in days. If you have a roach problem, look no further!

Attractive Gel (the key is dots)
By Ron on 06/17/2009
Verified Purchase
I have bait resistant roaches in my area. I put this down with about 8 small dots on a 1"x2 index card in several areas of the home (I don't like gel on cabinets). About 2 hours later, the bait behind the fridge was gone, in cabinets around the home, gone, under the table gone. Advion Roach Bait Gel is the best attractive bait I have seen, it draws the bugs out and feeds them their last meal!! Buy the bait gun for easy control of putting down the dots.

German Cockroaches
By William on 05/26/2010
This stuff is AMAZING!!!! I tried several different brands of store brought bug spray. Several different types of roach baits. I was getting up in the middle of the night to spray the roach infestation in my kitchen. Nothing even put a dent in the roach population. After ONE (yup one) application of Advion.....NO ROACHES!! If you have a German cockroach problem, BUY THIS STUFF!!! It really really works!!

NO MORE ROACHES
By Joe on 02/09/2013

I was at the end of my rope. I had a case of cockroaches in my old house that changed the way I looked at life. They would crawl over you when you slept at night, they completely take over the kitchen and bathroom at night, come out at the dinner table when we ate, making it impossible to invite people to your home for the embarrassment you would feel. I tried store bought insecticides until the home was unlivable because of fumes, but still no change in the amount of roaches. I was thinking of selling the house and moving. In desperation I tried ADVION GEL, and to my surprise, almost overnight, they (the roaches) were gone!!! It was miraculous, the way it wiped out a problem that I honestly thought was too severe to ever change. I cannot put into words the gratitude I feel for the people who made this stuff.

There is no need to worry about any type of issues from your dog eating roaches that have been in contact with Advion Roach Bait Gel. There is only enough insecticide in these products to kill a roach, not enough to have any effect on a mammal.

I noticed that the gel dries up after 2-3 days, and gets hard. Is it still going to work?

I purchased/applied Advion Roach Bait Gel bait about a week ago, and I'm not seeing any roaches that are attracted to it. I have smokey Brown Nymphs and i tried hand feeding one and it just wanted nothing to do with it. one thing I think I've done wrong is contaminated my baits with Talstar pro. so I've placed the baits where i have not sprayed. Ive just ordered the Maxforce FC Magnum in hopes that they will like that. Nymphs are supposed to eat this/ be attracted to baits when younger right ? Ive also purchased a birth inhibitor which i plan on mixing with my Talstar but I'm afraid of contaminating my baits again. any help would be appreciated. i just cant seem to get rid of these nymphs and i know the big boy stage is on its way.

The manufacturer does not label Advion Roach Bait Gel with an expiration date but is good for up to 5 years. We recommend that you use the bait within one year from the date of purchase to ensure freshness. Be sure to store the bait in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight.
