We would recommend removing Advion Roach Bait Gel if you no longer have an issue since it does contain food grade materials that are meant to attract roaches. The product only needs to be used if there are roaches present. We would recommend waiting 30 days before removing the product once you have stopped seeing activity.
You want to apply the Advion Roach Bait Gel every 2 weeks (cleaning up previous bait placements). Give it some time depending on the level of activity and how long they have been present. Baiting will take more time to transfer through the population. We also suggest applying a perimeter residual spray and an insect growth regulator (IGR) in your treatment process along with non-chemical methods. Please take a few moments to review our article and videos on How to Get Rid of Roaches.
Advion Roach Bait is only available in the gel and arenas (bait-filled stations). If you have been using the same bait for several weeks or months, then we would suggest switching to a different bait such as Maxforce Impact or Invict Gold. Baits will dry more quickly in dry areas, on porous surfaces such as concrete or wood, and in areas near vents or other air drafts. You may also need to inspect the area again for any possible competing moisture sources near sinks, drains, pet bowls, refrigerator drip pans, dishwashers, etc. Please let us know if we can further assist you.
Bait such as Advion Roach Bait Gel are best stored out of extreme heat to prevent the food ingredients from spoiling too quickly. You may lose some of the shelf life if the bait is kept close to high heat. In a temperate environment, we recommend using baits within one year of opening.
Yes, roaches can become resistant to Advion Roach Bait Gel (or any other roach bait gel) over time if the same active ingredient is continuously used.

You really should not apply your roach bait gel in the same areas where you are spraying, as the spray can contaminate the bait. The general rule of thumb is to "spray low and bait high." You will spray along baseboards, in cracks and crevices, underneath appliances, and areas where plumbing meets the wall. Bait should be applied mainly in locations where you typically would not want to spray anyway, such as in cabinets and drawers and underneath countertops.
