The time it takes Advion Cockroach Gel Bait to work depends on the level of infestation so results will vary. It is recommended to replace bait placements after 14 days if roach activity is still present and continue to retreat every 14 days until roach activity has ceased. The IGR is an important part of a successful roach treatment plan to help stop the reproduction cycle and prevent juvenile stages from maturing to adults but does not have any killing properties to it.
If you are not currently using a residual insecticide like Advion WDG or Temprid FX to treat along baseboards, behind appliances, under and behind cabinets & sinks, around windows, doors and in corners, this is an effective way to eliminate roaches through contact as they cross treated areas. Residual insecticides are also the best way to prevent roaches, ants and other insects in the home.
** Do not spray on top of bait placements or place bait placements on top of where an insecticide is applied.
