Since you are applying a gel and not a spray, there is nothing released into the air, so there should not be any respiratory issues when applying Advion Roach Bait Gel.

Advion Cockroach Gel Bait is a great product for roach control. However, when treating for roaches, it takes more than one product for the quickest and most effective control. Please take a moment to reach over our How To Treatment and Video Guides to learn about the most effective ways for getting rid of roaches, and our Roach Control Kits for the best products for the job.
You will not always see dead roaches after using Advion Cockroach Gel Bait. This is because roaches are going to die where ever they die and this could be behind cabinets, in wall voids, or other areas inaccessible to you. You want to continue to bait as long as you see activity. With a heavy infestation, you can expect several weeks before you see full results. Please take a few moments to read our roach control article for more information on a complete roach treatment.
Yes, when used as directed it is safe to use Advion Roach Bait Gel in areas that you would cook and eat as long as it does not contact food prep surfaces or dishes/utensils.

Please take a few moments to review our treatment article and videos on How to Get Rid of Roaches for more helpful information.
Yes, Advion Cockroach Gel Bait kills roaches. Advion Roach Bait Gel is a slow kill so that it has time to be taken back to the colony and spread. Roaches can start dying within a few hours to longer. How long it takes to eliminate a roach infestation depends on how large the infestation is, how consistent and thorough you are being with treatments and what products you are using. There is not a set time; it can take but it can take weeks or months even to get complete control. Advion Roach Bait is typically not used alone but in combination with other products. We would recommend one of our roach control kits. You can see the kits by clicking on the link here. We also have a great article for eliminating them that can offer some great advice; you can find it here.

We have more tips in our Roach Prevention Guide here.
Advion Cockroach Gel Bait is not organic but is safe to use as directed on the product label.
