    Q
    Does it matter which breed of roach is causing trouble, or is the Advion Roach designed to destroy them all?
    A

    It is always better to know exactly what you are dealing with, however the Advion Roach Gel is labeled for use on all roaches.  That being said, it is really good for German Roaches which are the most common indoor infesting roaches, but it may not be the best thing for other types like American roaches that come from outside.

    Q
    What would happen to the cat if they ingest Advion Roach Bait Gel?
    I have a cat at home, and I saw in one of the questions that the gel should not be place where a cat might reach it. So I am wondering how sensitive is this potential hazard to pets.
    A

    According to the the Advion Roach Bait Gel MSDS:

    "Potential Health Effects
    Based on animal testing, no biologically significant effects are expected from skin or eye contact or by ingestion."

    You should still read and follow the product label which recommends that you use the roach bait gel in places that will be inaccessible to your pet.

    Q
    How do you know when a bait is not working ?
    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.
    A
    Roaches will always ignore baits that have been contaminated with insecticides, perfumes or even cigarette smoke so it is important to keep the bait away from these contaminants. Roach bait gel should be placed in small dabs directly into cracks and crevices in cabinets, drawers, around sinks, counter tops, in food cabinets and any other area where you are seeing activity. Talstar + Gentrol on the other hand should only be sprayed around door frames, window frames and directly into cracks and crevices around baseboards and in cracks and crevices around utilities (cables, pipes, wires) that enter through the wall. Never apply the products in the same exact area. It is also important to make sure the kitchen and surrounding areas are spotless each day while you are trying to eliminate the roaches. Leave no crumbs or dishes in the sink at night, take out trash every night, and make sure all counter tops are wiped down thoroughly. One week is not enough time to determine if a roach bait gel is working. You need to give a bait severeal weeks to see if you notice a difference in a roach population. Heavy infestations can take several months to get rid of no matter what products you use.

  • Asked by Maggie from Lake Providence, Louisiana 71254
    11/19/2011
    Q
    How often do you put Advion Roach Bait Gel out. For instance, every 30 days or every 90 days?
    A
    You should place Advion Roach Bait Gel out as often as needed.  You should only apply roach gel out if you have a problem.  If you do not have a problem, you should not place roach gel out as it is a food that will attract roaches, you do not want to attract a problem if you don't have one.  If you do have a current roach issue, you should apply as often as you need to.  In bad infestations, you may need to apply weekly if the roaches are eating it that fast.

  • Asked by Xiaofeng from Stafford, Tx
    01/04/2012
    Q
    Is the Advion Roach Bait Gel still working when it dries up?
    I noticed that the gel dries up after 2-3 days, and gets hard. Is it still going to work?
    A
    The gel will work even after it hardens though it does work best when it is soft. The gel will dry out quickly if you place it on a porous surface or if you place it in an area where it is exposed to air currents (heating or cooling vents). You can help avoid these situations by placing the Advion Roach Bait Gel in disposable bait plate stations.  Bait Plate Stations are low-profile, economic and easy-to-use plastic stations that hold gel, liquid and granular baits for ants, roaches and other crawling insects.

  • Asked by Chase from Tallahassee, Florida

    Q
    After we use the Advion Roach Gel in our kitchen, how long before we can put our dishes back?
    We put the roach gel in our cabinets, drawers, pretty much everywhere the video said to. When can we put down contact paper and put our dishes back? Will roaches get into our dishes if we do?
    A
    You do not have to keep your dishes out of the cabinets at all. The roach gel is not airborne so will not contaminate your dishes. We do not recommend putting down the contact paper if it will make the roach gel inaccessible to the roaches. The contact paper can be put into place after the infestation is gone. The roaches can get on your dishes as the gel will not control where they walk.

    Is advion the best for Waterbugs? The larger 1 1/2 inch type of roach bugs? Not the german cockroaches but waterbugs? What is the best to kill them?
    A
    American Cockroaches (aka waterbugs) can be controlled with Advion Roach Bait Gel. We also recommend that you use an insecticide and an insect growth regulator for the fastest control. You can purchase all of these needed items together in our Roach Control Kit #2.

    I was told this product will make roaches breed more..is that true?
    A
    That is completely untrue. Advion Roach Bait Gel contains indoxacarb which when picked up by the roach is then transferred back to the other roaches wherever they may be producing a domino killing effect.

  • Asked by Donna from Redondo Beach, Ca
    09/07/2013
    Q
    Is Advion Roach Bait Gel harmful to cats?
    A
    The Advion Roach Bait Gel should be applied in very tiny dabs in places where the cat cannot access.  For the product to be harmful to your cat they would have ingest a large amount of the product.  If you do apply the gel correctly in tiny dabs, the cat should not even notice it.  Tiny dabs meaning less than half the size of a pencil eraser.  Places to put a tiny dab of roach gel are places where roaches can sometimes congregate. Common areas for roaches to hide are: hinges of door frames, around the door frame, along the side and underneath of any cabinets against the walls (tiny crack where they meet the wall), inside corners of cabinets and drawers, underneath the lip of the counter top every 8 to 10 inches, corners of window frames, behind and underneath any appliances like dorm fridges, microwaves, etc.

    Q
    Will Advion roach bait gel harm my cats if they eat roaches that have eaten the bait?
    There is no way that I can stop my cats from eating them. I only ask this because I caught one doing it! I am worried.
    A
    The very minute amount of Advion Gel the roaches may eat is not enough to harm your cats. Be sure when putting the gel out that you do put the gel into cracks and crevices and other places that will not be accessible to your cats.

  • Asked by Charlene from United States

    Q
    I have roaches running around inside my kitchen drawers where I store my silverware. Can I spray?
    Ccan I spray in these drawers and let the product dry and then be safe putting my utensils back, I feel like this is where the roaches have a safe haven because I am still seeing many many of them and they are running around inside these drawers. We have already treated 3 times and still seeing many roaches, babies and large....Thanks
    A
    We would not recommend spraying any insecticide in the drawers. You can use a high quality roach bait gel such as the Advion Roach Bait Gel to treat areas where spraying would not be appropriate (counter tops, cabinets, drawers, around dishwasher, a/c vent). The roaches will consume the bait and then go back to their nesting area and spread the bait which will help eliminate the roaches more quickly than spraying insecticides and IGRs alone. Getting rid of roaches is not a process that only takes only a few hours. Moderate roach infestations can take a few weeks to get rid of and severe infestations can take several months even when using all of the products needed (insecticide, IGR, roach bait) and sanitation is up to par.

  • Asked by Jk from New York, Ny
    01/25/2014
    Q
    Should I apply Advion ?
    I got a mild infestation (2-4 roaches seen a day) that I treated with boric acid. After a week a stopped seeing roaches (german). I am thinking, as a preventive measure (to complement boric acid) to apply Advion on some strategic locations at my kitchen. Is that my assumption correct ? or the fact that I don't see any more of this animals means that they've gone for good ?
    A
    Yes, I would recommend using the Advion Gel Bait in areas where roaches tend to congregate or hide. Use Advion Roach Bait Gel indoors as a crack and crevice treatment to control even the toughest of infestations. Advion cockroach gel should be applied to areas frequented by cockroaches such as between different elements of construction, between equipment and floors, openings leading into voids and hollow spaces in floors, walls, ceilings, equipment legs and bases, around plumbing pipes, doors and windows, and behind and under appliances, cabinets, sinks, closets, and any other equipment that cockroaches are typically known to hide. Advion cockroach bait gel is excellent for German roaches as they are the most common indoor infesting roach. Advion roach bait gel should be used in conjunction with Insect Growth Regulators, such as Gentrol Point Source Stations, for even more complete control of all life stages of cockroaches. For light to moderate infestations of cockroaches, apply 1-3 spots of Advion cockroach gel bait per 10 linear feet. Each spot of Advion gel bait should equal about 0.5 grams (approx. 1/4” diameter)

    Q
    Which roach gel is better Advion or Maxforce FC by Bayer?
    I tried Advion its been good but wonder if Maxforce FC is better. I've got a bad infestation.
    A
    Advion Roach Bait Gel and the Maxforce FC Roach Bait Gel by Bayer are all great professional roach bait gels. They contain different active ingredients. There is no set guideline on how often you should rotate the baits. A lot of professionals will use the same bait as long as they are seeing good results. When the results start to falter, they will then switch to a new material with a different active ingredient. We also recommend that you treat the home with an insecticide and insect growth regulator (IGR). I have included some great articles below that will help guide you with the treatment.

    07/10/2014
    Q
    Should roaches dead from Advion be left around kitchen or can I clean them up?
    I thought the affected roaches would take the gel back to their nest and die, then the dead roaches would be ingested by other roaches and die. But, I see the roaches dying in my kitchen. What should I expect. Heavy infestation but not many have died yet after 2 days.
    A
    Older or unhealthy roaches can be affected much faster than younger/healthier roaches. You can go ahead and clean uyp dead roaches that are out in the open. With a heavy infestation, you can expect several weeks before you see full resulst. Please take a few moments to read our roach control article: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-german-roaches-a-245.html
