I would continue to treat with the perimeter sprays that your using. I would also use a roach bait gel in the area of activity in the crawl space. If you didn’t want to go into the crawl space treating with spray you can bait around the area close to the door. I would use Advion roach gel and apply in small pea size dabs around the door. This along with doing the treatments around the perimeter of the house, should help eliminate the population. You may need to incorporate an IGR to get complete control of the population depending on the type of roach your dealing with.
When treating shared unit buildings, using Advion Roach Bait Gel on its own would not be the most effective way to eliminate a roach colony. The best way to eradicate roaches is to use a combination of a residual spray, a roach bait, and an insect growth regulator. You may want to consider using one of our Roach Control Kits, as thekits will provide all of these products. We would also suggest applying an insecticide dust in the wall voids to help protect your home from roaches transferring from other units. You may also want to look over our Roach Control Guide for more information.

It is possible for a bird to be harmed after ingesting the Advion Roach Bait Gel as they can be pretty sensitive to chemicals. We would recommend only applying in areas that the bird does not have access to. We have a great video here that shows where to apply the bait. You can see the video by clicking here. In order for the bird to be harmed from eating a killed or dying roach from the bait, they would generally have to eat a large amount but we would recommend checking with your vet to be sure as birds can be more sensitive than other animals.
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. 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 the specific 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 Gel 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.
You should place Advion Cockroach Gel Bait indoors and outdoors as a crack and crevice treatment.

If you have seen roaches in all stages of the life cycle, you may also want to consider using an insecticide and insect growth regulator to help get rid of the roaches. Please take a look at Temprid FX and Gentrol IGR or Gentrol Point Source Stations. Also, roaches are very attracted to water, so that may be why you are seeing them in your bathroom. Please check for leaky pipes in the area and fix the leak as soon as possible as this can help tremendously with your roach issue. If you have not seen any roaches in your kitchen, it isn't necessary for you to use any gel there, since there may not be any in the area to consume it. However, if you choose to purchase the insecticide, you can absolutely use it as a preventive spray in the kitchen.

Any guarantee would be with the company that applies it as the product itself does not come with one that we are aware of. We do know it works very well though.
