Advion Roach Bait Gel does not utilize the right food attractants to attract Bed Bugs. It is very unlikely the Bed Bugs came over for the roach bait. It may have just been timing. Please see our Bed Bug Guide. The Advion Roach Bait Gel will attract roaches to it, but once consumed the roach poplulation will die off. Please also see our Roach Guide.
Most definitely you should re-apply the Advion Roach Bait Gel. This means that the roaches are eating the bait, and the more that eat the bait, the more of the population that will be eliminated. You should continue to put out the bait gel until the population is eradicated. You can use a residual spray outdoors around the home to help prevent future infestations.
The amount of tubes needed to treat will vary. You will need to place new bait placements every couple of weeks in the kitchen, bathroom and other areas where you notice activity. A box of 4 tubes would be a great start. We also suggest using an insecticide spray such as Temprid SC and an insect growth regulator such as Gentrol Point Source Stations.

When you are using Advion Roach Bait Gel, you are placing 3 to 5 spots of ADVION cockroach gel bait per 10 linear feet for heavy infestations.

Once you have gotten rid of the infestation, the bait can be replaced every 3 months or when bait is gone.
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 then other animals.
When using the Advion Roach Bait Gel you could use a Bait Plate Station we sell. These are low profile and economic. The stations keep sticky gels and granular baits in a contained space that is off countertops and other surfaces, but allows access to the bait for roaches. Be sure to remove the perforated tab when using Bait Plate Stations for roach control so that larger roaches have enough space to access the bait. Keep in mind that roaches will generally accept bait best when it is applied directly to cracks and crevices, rather than in a station.
Yes, you could use the Advion Roach Bait Gel anytime, you just would not want to apply sprays on top of bait placements or vice versa. If it has been two months since anything was sprayed, it should be fine to use bait gel.

When treating for any type of roaches we also recommend treating with an IGR like Gentrol, and an insecticide such as Temprid as well. Most roach infestations need more than one mode of action to get them under control.
The fact that you have seen different stages of the lif cycle, we recommend still baiting. We would also recommend to incorporate an IGR like Gentrol to breakdown the reproductive cycle.
