We are not aware of any changes made to the Advion Roach Bait Gel by the manufacturer. It should be used within 1 year once the tube is opened or 2 years from the date of purchase.
Advion Roach Bait Gel contains food-grade attractants which can sour over time. If you have had the bait for longer than 1 year, we recommend that you purchase fresh bait.
Since Raid is a contact kill, Advion Roach Bait Gel can be applied in the same areas once it has dried completely. Be sure not to spray any insecticide over the bait gel. This will contaminate it, and the roaches will not consume it.
Please take a look at our Roach Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent roaches in the future.
The amount of time the Advion Roach Bait Gel takes to work will depend on the severity of the issue. It is recommended that while you are treating an active infestation, replace the bait every 14 days to give the roaches a fresh supply to consume.
Please take a look at our Roach Guide for tips on how to treat and prevent roaches in the future.
Advion Roach Bait Gel is safe around children when applied as directed. You are applying in areas that children cannot access so they should not come in contact with it. We have a great video here that shows where to apply the bait.
We would recommend only applying Advion Roach Bait Gel in areas that the bird does not have access to. We have a great video on our site that shows where to apply the bait. You can see the video by clicking here
Yes Advion Roach Bait Gel would work be a great option! The active ingredient in Advion is Indoxacarb. It allows cockroaches to consume the bait and return to the harborage site to contaminate other cockroaches resulting in significant reduction in infestation levels. Each roach that comes in contact with bait can contaminate up to 40 other roaches by way of contact, feces, or the other roaches feeding on its poisoned carcass. This domino effect knocks out roach populations at an incredible rate.
Advion Roach Bait Gel should be used indoors if there is activity present inside. It can be used up against the structure in bait plate stations or in the garage area if there is activity. We do not recommend treating outside with the Advion Roach Bait Gel. We suggest reducing food and moisture/water sources from in and around the structure. An insecticide should be applied outdoors and to low interior crevices. Baits will attract the targeted pest. We would recommend that you look over our article on How To Get Rid of Roaches as well if you have a moment.

Yes, a roach bait gel like Advion can be applied if you are also using glue boards. We normally recommend that you use an insecticide spray along with an insect growth regulator (IGR) as well for roaches.

You may also want to look over our Roach Control Guide for more information on treating and preventing roaches.
You want to apply the Advion Roach Bait Gel every 2 weeks (cleaning up previous bait placements). Give it some time depending on the level of activity and how long they have been present. Baiting will take more time to transfer through the population. We also suggest applying a perimeter residual spray and an insect growth regulator (IGR) in your treatment process along with non-chemical methods. Please take a few moments to review our article and videos on How to Get Rid of Roaches.
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 to longer. 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 what 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.
Advion Roach Bait Gel is formulated specific for roaches. We do offer products for flies and other insects. Please provide us with the targeted pest and we will offer recommendations that will be successful for your treatment.

You will then eliminate moisture/food sources and do a very thorough cleaning. After that, we recommend treating with our Roach Control Kit Rotation A. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article on How to Get Rid of Roaches for more information on a successful eradication program.
