    Q
    What happens if the Advion Cockroach gets wet? Does it loose its effectiveness?
    I applied the gel bait in cracks that are in my kitchen floor under my cabinets, I mop every day and clean with bleach and pine sol, cane this contaminate the bait that is on the floor ?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Should I still kill roaches on sight after applying Advion or let them return to poison their nest?
    I can't find much info about this strategy. I've been killing any roach I've seen.
    A

    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.

    Q
    Is your Advion Bait counterfeit or old?
    Hi. I am comparing a new Advion tube to an old tube. I've read the tubes are no longer dated, however the newer tube I have is ever so slightly lighter in the all around color scheme. The code on the insert vs the code on the tube do not match, either. The insert reads: SCP 1484A-L1B 0414 4041019 The tube reads: SCP 1484A-L2B 0414 4093374 Is this normal or am I just being paranoid? Thanks in advance.

    Any Advion Cockroach Gel Bait that is purchased from our company will be fresh non counterfeit stock as we get it directly from the manufacturers supplier. You can actually call Syngenta themselves and they will advise to purchase through our company as they know we do not allow anything other than fresh correct stock to move through our warehouse. The counterfeit Advion that has circulated online was sold primarily on Amazon and other non reputable sites. The SCP number you are referring to has nothing to do with when the batch was produced. Those are codes for the labels themselves of when they were last updated or printed for the product. The old tubes of Advion had a specific release date shown. They now come with a code on the tube itself that will look along these lines: ABW9C29025. The first 3 letters will usually be "ABW" which can be ignored as this corresponds to the facility the batch was produced in. The next number is for the last digit of the year it was produced. For 2018 this would be ABW8 for example. To indicate the month it was produced, the letter after the year in the code would be in alphabetical order if January = A, February = B. So a Lot of ABW8B would be produced in February of 2018. Advion baits are good for 5 years if stored properly. 

    The color of each batch will vary slightly due to temperatures used during the manufacturing process and the inert ingredients and where they are derived. Should you find some with a wildly different color, you can always submit a photo to us for us to review and look into.

    Q
    Why aren't the roaches eating the Advion anymore?
    1st round work awesome second and their batch they not eating it why ??please help
    A

    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.

    Q
    How long for treatment with Advion Cockroach Gel Bait?
    Hello, About 7 weeks ago, we noticed an adult roach in the living room. Then 3 weeks later, saw 1 baby nymph on the kitchen counter. My baby and I live in an ~800 sqft apt. We bought Advion bait and Gentrol Source Point. 1) How long should we continue to treat with the Advion Bait and how often should we re-apply the bait? 2) How long to continue the Gentrol Source Point treatments for? 3) When can we expect the roaches to be completely dead? 4) Should we apply to every room or is that too much? Even rooms where we do not see any activity? 5) Would an egg be affected by the Gentrol making them sterile? Or a roach carrying an egg be affected by the Gentrol (making egg + mom sterile)? Do they need constant exposure to Gentrol or if they pass through 1x it would be effect to affect them (meaning should I overdose them with it?) 6) Should I put one high up on the cabinets so the vapor can fall past the cabinets, get to the stove and on the counters? 7) If I don't use the oven, can I put Gentrol behind the stove? 8) What happens if they bypass the Gentrol, does that meant that I can expect them to live another 12 mths. How can I prevent that? Thanks so much!

    When treating for active roaches, you will need to replace bait placements using Advion Cockroach Gel Bait every 10-14 days. Roach baits need to be rotated after 60-90 days as a resistance can develop. Our Roach Control Kits A, B & C contain everything you need to treat for roaches by rotating the bait in the kits. Click here to view the Roach Control Kit page. 

    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. We would recommend treating the entire interior of the home with focus on the rooms where activity has been seen. 

    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. It is one Gentrol Pointe Source pack every 75 sq ft area needed to treat. Once the Gentrol Place Pack has been activate, you can leave it be, there is no routine maintenance required. Roaches are affected without having to contact the disk. Gentrol cannot be used in any appliances. 

    Please view our How to Get Rid of Roaches Treatment Guide for detailed information on how to fully treat and eradicate for roaches.

    Q
    Should I put out Advion Cockroach Gel Bait if I haven't seen roaches?
    I'm moving into a new apartment and I want to pest proof as much as I can. Should I use Advion gel as a prevention method if I haven't seen any roaches? Or will it attract roaches that might not have entered normally?
    A

    We would not advise on using Advion Cockroach Gel Bait if there is not any signs of roaches. If you want to be proactive and use a pest control product we would advise on using a perimeter insecticide like Temprid FX

    Q
    How long should I leave on Advion Cockroach for cockroaches before I can mop the floors and clean?
    I have just applied the gel in cracks on the floor and walls/corners etc. I just want to know how long it will take until I can bleach my floors and clean my house again? I don't want to undo the gel bait properties
    A

    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.

    Q
    Should I kill roaches that I continue to see after applying Advion Cockroach Gel Bait or leave them alone to transfer the active ingredient throughout the colony?
    A

    The active ingedient in Advion Cockroach Gel Bait is a non repellent that is slow acting. This allows roaches to feed on the bait, take bait back to the colony and transfer to other roaches. We would recommend not killing or disturbing roaches and allow them to continue their normal activity to ensure the bait is taken bait to colony and transfered. Any dead roaches can be removed.

    Q
    How much does it take for a small house
    A
    One box of the Advion Cockroach Gel Bait would be enough for a small home. How much bait you use depends on the infestation you have. You would use 3 to 5 spots of gel bait per 10 linear feet for heavy infestations or 1 to 3 spots of gel bait per 10 linear feet for light to moderate infestation.

    Q
    Roaches will not eat the advion gel I put out, what can I do about that
    A

    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.

    Q
    Will the Advion Cockroach Gel Bait harm cats?
    A

    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.

    Q
    How long must I wait to use Roach Kit A or apply Advion Roach Bait Gel if I've already sprayed with Ortho insecticide?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Is Advion Cockroach Gel Bait recommended for American Roaches?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Does Advion Cockroach Gel Bait kill pantry confused beetles?
    A

    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.

    Q
    Why am I seeing cockroaches with shriveled up wings and enlarged bodies after months of using Advion Cockroach Gel Bait?
    I bought this product last year almost it works great and I haven't seen any for a while, but now randomly I've noticed weird ones with deformed wings and enlarged abdomens They just appear in my bathroom or on the stairs. Does that mean it's time to switch bait? Or are they adapting and mutating?
    A
    Advion Cockroach Gel Bait should not cause mutations like the kind you described. You will usually see these types of mutations when using an IGR (insect Growth Regulator). Over time roaches do tend to build resistance to gel baits so we recommend rotating to a different bait after 3 months of use.

    Q
    How long does it take for the roaches to die after they eat the Advion Cockroach Gel Bait?
    A

    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.
