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.

You really should not apply your roach bait gel in the same areas where you are spraying, as the spray can contaminate the bait. The general rule of thumb is to "spray low and bait high."

Bait should be applied mainly in locations where you typically would not want to spray anyway, such as in cabinets and drawers and underneath countertops.
