You can use Advion Roach Bait Gel in bait plate stations and place the stations under and on your electronics. This will keep your electronics safe from the bait but keep it available for the roaches. Additionally, please take some time to read over our roach control guide. When infestations are large, you will need to implement a full roach control program to eliminate the roaches.
The Advion Cockroach will not be effective and the insects will avoid it is being contaminated by the cleaning agents. Baits should be placed up high or in bait plate stations if using down low. We have a great video here that shows where to apply the bait.
As difficult as it can be to see a roach and not kill it, that is the ideal approach when baiting with Advion Cockroach bait gel or using transfer products that are designed to get carried back to the nest. While killing a few here and there will not heavily impact your results, you would want to try and allow those you see out foraging for food to live and take the bait back to the ones in hiding at the source of your problem.
The Advion Roach Bait Gel should be applied once every two weeks (cleaning up old bait placements prior to new applications) to keep the roaches attracted to the product. Depending on the size of the colony, it can take at least several weeks to a month or so to eliminate the entire population. If you have used the same bait for several months, then we would recommend rotating with a different bait to prevent bait aversion. Good rotation choices would include Maxforce FC Magnum or Maxforce Impact Roach Bait Gel.You can see our Roach Control Guide to go over all of the steps necessary to eliminate an entire roach population, as techniques beyond baiting will be needed for success.
Advion Roach Bait Gel does not carry significant risk to non-target animals, especially regarding secondary poisoning. You should store extra product out of reach of non-target animals and pets.

Along with spraying the baseboards, under cabinets, behind appliances, under sinks, around windows, etc with a residual spray like Temprid FX. Temprid FX is mixed at 8ml to 16ml per gallon of water.

Gentrol Point Source packs last for 90 days. Place the packs on top of cabinets, refridgerators, on side of walls, etc about 1-2 ft down from the ceiling.

We recommend cleaning areas before you apply a roach bait such as Advion Cockroach Gel Bait. Baits are going to be freshest for about 2 weeks, so if you were to use cleaning products directly on or around bait placements before they have been eaten, then you would need to put out fresh bait after cleaning. We have an excellent Roach Treatment Guide here to assist you with treating for this pest.

It is normal for some roaches to not go directly to a bait such as Advion Roach Bait Gel and eat it. It can often be that they are feeding on some that has been brought back to the colony already, feeding on the feces of the adults, or feeding on other dead roaches. They also could be looking for water or other materials and not currently foraging for the bait. Depending on the size of the colony, it can take at least several weeks to a month or so to eliminate the entire population. If you have used the same bait for several months, than we would recommend rotating with a different bait to prevent bait aversion. Good rotation choices would include Maxforce FC Magnum or Maxforce Impact Roach Bait Gel.
When applying bait placements of Advion Roach Bait Gel, apply small green pea size amounts to areas that are out of reach from pets and kids such as in cracks and crevices, in top corners of cabinets, inside drawers, behind appliances, etc. The amount of active ingredient that is lethal to roaches or other small insects is typically not enough to harm larger animals such as dogs or cats.

You can apply Advion Cockroach Gel Bait anytime in areas where you have not applied a spray such as an Ortho product. A good way to remember this rule is "spray low and bait high". Otherwise, we recommend waiting about 2 weeks to apply bait gel to spots where you have just applied a residual insecticide.
We have more tips on how to treat for roaches in our online guide here.
Advion Cockroach Gel Bait can be used for both American and German roaches as well.
It is recommended when treating for roaches to use an aggressive treatment program using a combination of a residual spray, roach bait and insect growth regulator as found in our Roach Control Kits. These kits Roach Control Kits provide enough product for the initial treatment and follow up treatments that are required every 10-14 days. The kits are set up on a rotation program - Rotation Kit A is a good clean out treatment to start with for an aggressive approach to treatment. After 60 days, you can rotate to Kit B or Kit C if continued treatments are necessary.
For Roach Treatments, sanitation is key to a successful program, chemicals can only do so much so you need to be aggressive and consistent with treating. Please review our Roach Treatment Guide for more important information for a succesful treatment program.
Advion Roach Bait Gel is only designed and labeled only to be used for roaches.
We would recommend Greenway Pantry Patrol Insect Trap for beetles as it covers a broader spectrum of beetle pests including: Red Flour Beetle, Confused Flour Beetle, Indian Meal Moth, Warehouse Beetle, Cigarette Beetle, Mediterranean Flour Moth, Tobacco Moth, Rice Weevil, Saw-Toothed Grain Beetle.
For treating cracks and creviecs where the larvae could be developing, we would recommend an aerosol insecticide such as D-Force HPX.
When you notice more roaches attracted to the bait that is normal and an indication that the product is working. The attractants lure them to the locations you placed the bait in your structure in order for the product to be accepted and effective. Rotating with other baits aside from Advion would be advised every 90 days for an integrated pest management.
For active roach infestations, using a roach bait alone will not eliminate them. It is recommended to use a combination treatment program with a residual insecticide (along baseboards, behind appliances, under cabinets, sinks, around windows, etc) and an insect growth regulator to help stop the reproduction cycle.
Repeat applications of spraying the insecticide and replacing bait placements are required every 10 to 14 days. If still seeing roaches after 90 days, you will want to continue spraying the insecticide but rotate to another roach bait to offer a different bait matrix.
