    Q
    Do cockroaches become resistant to Advion Roach Bait Gel over time?
    About a year ago I purchased this gel and it worked beautifully to get rid of the roaches I saw in my kitchen. After applying it for several weeks, I went all winter without seeing any roaches. The spring after that, I saw more roaches and applied Advion to get rid of them. However, it doesn't seem to have done anything. There are no dead roaches lying around like last year. I'm thinking the new generation of cockroaches is not affected by this gel because they grew resistant to it. What should I do if this is the case? Is there another product I can try?
    A

    Yes, roaches can become resistant to Advion Roach Bait Gel (or any other roach bait gel) over time if the same active ingredient is continuously used.  We do recommend switching up roach bait gels periodically so that this does not happen. Please take a look at our selection of roach bait gels for some other options.

    Q
    Once applied, how long will Advion Roach Bait Gel last? Does it stop working when dry?
    A

    Advion Roach Bait Gel will continue to attract roaches when its dry. It should be reapplied once every two weeks. You will want to first clean up previous bait placements and then apply the bait. Please take a few moments to read over our article How to Get Rid of Roaches to learn how to implement a successful roach control program.

  • Asked by Shannon from Deland, Fl

    Q
    Is Advion Roach Bait Gel safe around kids and babies? Can you use it in a car?
    I have an 8 month old and 6 month old as well as an occasional 14 month old. I also have a 9 and 6 year old and occasional 8 year old that all ride in my car. I just discovered an infestation in my center console. Roaches are a phobia (I know they're normal in Florida), but I have a serious phobia so this is a big deal. I don't want any of us in the car, but we don't have a choice.
    A

    Advion Roach Bait Gel is safe around children when applied as directed. You are applying in areas that children do not frequent so they should not come in contact with it. It may be better to use Advion Roach Bait Arena in your vehicle because it is more versatile. Be sure to remove any competing food sources such as crumbs or other materials for the most effective treatment.

  • Asked by Angela from Los Angeles
    01/27/2016
    Q
    Is Advion Roach Bait Gel safe for inside cabinets, cupboards?
    Do I need to empty out the cabinets with dishes and utensils? What if roaches crawl on them after ingesting the bait? Also, I've only seen roaches in the kitchen but the infestation has been going on for a few months now. Should I bait other parts of the house even though I've only seen them in the kitchen?
    A

    Yes, Advion Roach Bait Gel is safe for use inside of cabinets, drawers, etc. You do not need to empty out your cabinets. You will be placing the bait in pea sized points in the corners of the cabinets and drawers so this product will not come in contact the bait unless it is dropped on it. If you are concerned around the roaches walking over utensils, we would recommend washing them before use. We would recommend baiting where you have seen activity, such as areas with water sources. Please check out our Roach Guide for information on how to treat and prevent roaches in the future.

  • Asked by Frank from Trinity
    01/01/2018
    Q
    Can the Advion Roach Bait Gel be harmful to dogs?
    A

    The Advion Roach Bait Gel should be applied in very tiny dabs in places where the dog cannot access.  For the product to be harmful to your dog they would have ingest a large amount of the product.  If you do apply the gel correctly in tiny dabs, the dog or any household pets should not even notice it.  Tiny dabs meaning less than half the size of a pencil eraser.  Places to put a tiny dab of roach gel are places where roaches can sometimes congregate. Please review our Roach Treatment Guide for more tips on how to eradicate this pest.

  • Asked by John from Bronx, Ny
    03/12/2016
    Q
    Can applying too much of the Advion Roach Bait Gel become harmful? It appeared the bait began to smell is that normal?
    A

    Advion Roach Bait Gel has no odor as listed on the Safety Data Sheet but should only be applied is small pea size drops as this is more attractive to roaches  Place every 10-12 inches where activity is noted.  Applying too much would just make the roaches less likely to eat it.  There are food based attractants in the product but any possible smell would not be harmful.  It would only be harmful if you were to physically ingest a large quantity of the bait.

  • Asked by Jessica from Brooklyn
    08/14/2016
    Q
    Can Advion Roach Bait Gel attract Bedbugs as well as more Roaches?
    3 days after using Advion Roach Bait Gel we spotted a few bed bugs. I live in a building and I'm wondering could I have attracted them from my neighbors? (The roaches came from them when they moved old furniture out if their apt and left it in the hallway)
    A

    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.

    Q
    Does advion Roach killer kill bed bugs too?
    A

    No Advion will not work to eliminate bedbugs. We recommend looking at our Bed Bug Kit Page. We have taken the guess work out of what products you will need to treat with and put them in kits depending on how many rooms you are treating. Each Kit comes with a 5 Step Treatment Guide on how to properly and thoroughly treat for bedbugs. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

  • Asked by Gene from Citrus County, Fl
    01/08/2018
    Q
    Does the Advion Roach Bait Gel attract cockroaches?
    Just want to make sure I'm using product correct and not making problem worst by attracting more roaches. I have not see any bait disturbed. I placed in cracks, crevices, in bait pack. Some of gel dried. I have not seen any dead roaches .
    A

    Yes, cockroaches are attracted to Advion Roach Bait Gel when they cross paths with where it has been applied, but it will not attracts new roaches that were not already in your home.  The product works quickly and efficently if used properly as the label directs.  Gel baits can dry out after two weeks or so, so it does need to be refreshed every couple of weeks.

    Q
    Should a whole tube of Advion be applied during every application?
    I just bought a tube and I applied very tiny dots of it around my kitchen and put a couple in my bathroom. Should I be using the whole tube when apply or can I cap it and save it for weekly applications of fresh bait? Thanks.
    A

    Advion Roach Bait Gel works best if applied in small green pea size dabs. Please visit the Advion Roach bait page for the application video. You can cap and it will last up to a year.

  • Asked by Caitlyn from Sacramento, Ca
    10/14/2015
    Q
    Should I rotate to a new product such as Maxforce from the Advion Roach Bait Gel?
    I've been using this product for 3 months and definitely noticed a very small population left. However they only eat bait I put near my sink (I assume it's because they look for dirty dishes but I wash them every night and keep the sink spotless so they eat the bait). I continued to put bait near my sink and it's completely eaten every night. I think the population might be growing because I'm suddenly seeing a few more than normal. Should I keep using this bait or be moving on to something else?
    A

    Yes, we do recommend rotating baits every few months to avoid bait aversion and bait resistance. We make bait rotation easy for you as we put a different bait in each of our roach control kits. If you are currently using the Advion Roach Bait Gel we do advise using Maxforce FC Magnum that is included in the roach control kit roation A.

    Q
    Can I still cook and eat while baits such as Advion Roach Bait Gel are set?
    If I place bait in strategic areas, is it still safe for me to cook food and eat in those areas or keep near plates, dried foods, etc?
    A

    When used as directed it is safe to use Advion Roach Bait Gel in areas that you would cook and eat as it should not contact food prep surfaces or dishes/utensils.

  • Asked by Brianne from Atlanta, Ga
    03/30/2017
    Q
    Should I treat every room with Advion Roach Bait Gel for potential infestation?
    We had a pretty bad infestation of smokey brown roaches last year. I began to see the babies in almost every room beginning in April. By summer I was seeing all ages of roaches during the day and night. With an exterminator and cooler temperatures the activity slowed down to an adult being seen maybe once every couple of weeks. The weather has warmed for about a week and we have seen 3 adults in about 4 days. They seem to be localized to one bathroom at this time. I treated with Advion in the bathroom and the adjoining bedroom. Should I continue to put Advion throughout the rest of the house to prevent another full on infestation? Should I only do the other bathrooms?
    A

    It is recommended to apply roach baits such as Advion only in areas where you are currently seeing activity in order to avoid spreading an infestation.
