Customer Reviews for Avert Dry Flowable Cockroach Bait

This stuff works. Lost our house and due to now bad credit had to move into a crappy old apartment building. Turns out it had cockroaches and the Orkin guy that they have on contract is a joke. Being an old apartment builidng not sure how bad the infestation was. In the matter of sheer numbers, would only see maybe a couple at a time, but would also see them during the day which is a sign of a bad infestation. Also they were not treating the other apartments because no one fessed up to having them. Total BS. Anway, tried some gel baits from Home Depot and home remedies found on google. Was only seeing one or two a week by that time, but could not live with the fact that they were still there. After hours of internet research over several weeks, finally came across Avert Dry Flowable Cockroach Bait. Just sorry this treatment didn't pop up in my google results at the beginning! Great price and it arrived a day ahead of schedule. I used this in every conceivable crack or whole in this crappy apartment. I had seem them coming out of the molding in my sons bedroom as well as the door frames of the laundry room and bathroom in addition to the obvious spots in the kitchen. It comes with a little straw (think DW-40) and you just squeeze it in all the cracks and crevices. I took off every outlet cover and stuck it way in the wall and sprayed there. That was 2 1/2 weeks ago and I have not seen a cockroach dead or alive since!! Thank you AVERT! The product is supposed to be effective up to a year or more.

WOW!!! I cannot say enough about this product or this site. Product received just a couple of days after order placed. One tube was more than enough to treat my 4 bedroom, 2 bath home. I tried so many different products before: foggers, sprays, some gel stuff that turned a weird color and was hard to remove later, concentrated powder you mix that was supposed to be "professional strength". None of them combined has worked as well as the Avert did to get rid of German roaches and even a few of the large tree roaches! The next day after treatment I started seeing dead roaches, and each day since I have found more dead ones. I have seen less and less live activity and what little I've seen appears to be coming from areas I didn't treat initially (the attic and the garage area). It took a little practice to figure out how to get the powder to come out, but it was so easy to squeeze/blow into the tiniest cracks. Such a relief to finally find something that actually WORKS! I spent so much money on cheaper products, wish I had found out about this first! Plus, the DoMyOwnPestControl.com site was easy to find the information I needed, easy to place the order, and I received it quickly. Highly recommend!!!

Without a doubt the finest roach inhibitor available. Works in small, hard to get areas and, when used in conjunction with "Avert" liquid, rids the area completely regardless of the degree of infestation.

It is wonderful to be able to walk into the kitchen and not start chasing roaches with my fly swatter. The very next day I could see a big difference. They are mostly all gone now but I am going to bait them again to be sure. Wonderful stuff, this Avert!

Works great and after seeing the pest man use it and then charge me arm and leg for treatment. So I decided to buy it myself and treat myself for half price of monthly treatment. Have no more problems.

I've worked in pest control, which taught me two things: German roaches avoid baits and are especially sensitive to powder application methods. I was skeptical but the Avert container made it easy to dispense and the powder flowed nicely without clogging. I had die-off overnight and continue to see dead roaches - adult and juvenile. Extremely impressed. If you apply as directed (a light, uniform dusting in hidden spaces), I think you, too, will have fantastic results.

I tried this product after using a spray Raid product for a number of weeks with little result.  The Avert Dry Flowable product has given me wonderful results with only a rare appearance of a cockroach since I first used it. The demonstration video that I found on the Net was also most helpful in showing correct application and location.

The Avert Dry Flowable Cockroach Bait works great! My old pest control person who use to spray once a month in my apartment recommended it to me and since I've set it around my house, I've only seen dead cockroaches; no live ones! Great price too! If any other type of baits or sprays aren't helping in your home, try this! :)

If you have tried everything else to rid yourself of roaches and are still troubled, AVERT is the answer. I tried everything in the world to rid my home of roaches with limited results however, once I baited with AVERT the results were obvious within a day. Dead roaches were found everywhere and the killing continues. The amount I used was small and the amount sold is enough to treat for days and still have enough, if once again, the trouble comes.

I've used Avert for almost 20 years as a 'finisher' on German Roach infestations. It cannot be beaten for its value versus gel baits. Once you learn how to properly apply it, it will cover literally hundreds of bait placements per tube.

I have had problems with roaches for several years. I always have Raid on hand. When my neighbor sprays, they come. I have never got completely rid of them.I bought several products from Bengal, roach proof, d-con, you name it, but then I bought Avert. I would go in in the middle of the night in the kitchen and spray a little Avert directly on them. I also put it out around the kitchen. My family started getting excited when we saw a roach. We would spray Avert on them and say Bring it back to the nest! We have no roaches now. None, not one because of Avert!!!!!!

We had German roaches. I caught a few and put them in a jar with the Advion gel bait and they were thriving for a week+. Put in of the Avert in the jar and dead the next day. Put Avert around the kitchen in corners of cupboards, gaps and cracks in back splash etc and the dead roaches started showing up the next day.

We have been fighting roaches for more than a year and used different pest control chemicals but all of them were a waste of money and time. Finally, I started searching for something different and came across a youtube video about Avert. Then I bought it from this website and the result was UNBELIEVABLE. Without a doubt Avert is the finest roach inhibitor available. It is the best for hard to get areas like the back a refrigerator, oven and microwave where they hatch their egg. Within three days our apartment is free of roaches and we can put anything without worry of roaches.

I worked for several years in the profession, and my advice to all of my customers was 'be careful what you bring into your house, because you could be bringing in someone else's problems' (meaning Roaches). So what do I go and do? Yep, I was given a beautiful Macaw Parrot and his cage and never thought once about my advice from when I was 'a bug lady'!! The tubular structure of his cage was infested with Germans!! OMG! Because you have to be very careful with what you use.around birds, I went with my old stand-by from earlier days. I had seen them and gotten the cage treated pronto, but I wanted to make 'double sure' with the Avert. If it doesn't get wet or wiped off it is good for a very long time - just in case I forget my own advice again! Avert is easy to apply, very low odor and best of all, really effective at taking care of German and American Roaches issues.

About two months ago I began having a serious cockroach problem. I'm talking about the big ones, too. I started using this product as soon as I got it. Took every thing out of the closet and dusted the corners. Took switch plates off the walls and dusted inside the walls. Anywhere where my pets couldn't get to it. This sounds gross, but as long as the roach was dead and out of sight I left it. They will eat the dead and this increases the chances of the bait spreading. The only roaches ( two) I have seen in the last 4 days have been dead. This stuff works.

My son moved home from College and moved several items home. He found some German cockroaches in his items that we killed and thought the end. 3-4 weeks later Began finding in Kitchen drawers, sink, etc. Bought Avert and did entire kitchen area and after 1 week have not seen any. Don't know what else it works on because we have no insects in house but worked on German Cockroach.

Excellent for control and eradication of roaches! We use in rental properties that become infested, and have 100% success if used in combination with glue traps and Gentrol spray! Have used the bait alone before, and not as effective. Worth the extra expense of the full 1-2-3 punch!!

This product is defintely easy to use in cracks and crevices. Only complaint and why I didn't give five stars is because of needle like attachment got moisture in it so did clog. But was able to continune to apply with normal applicator that is on tube. I like the fact that this bait can be effective for up to 2 years. I also did use gels in other parts of house. But to get deep to roaches hidden areas with long time control this is the product. I hoping with the use IGR that used with phantom that I was able to finish the job. So far so good. No roaches seen in one week. I plan to spray again in 2 weeks since I live in apartment.

We were desperate to find some pest control for our rental that had a severe German cockroach infestation. We tried our usual go to chemical, Demon, which we've used for years, but it didn't help. We sprayed & fogged several times. The nasty critters were NOT phased. Then I went online, watched the videos on the Invict & Avert Flowable bait along with Gentrol Point Source and ordered. Shipped in 3 days. Used it as per the video instructions and NO MORE ROACHES! We will see how long it works but it was worth it. I highly recommend these products... and also order the plunger gun to use for the bait.

My year long battle with roaches have come to an end!!!!! After using this product along with Gentrol spray I've only seen around 5-9 roaches in total..and they were slow and dying! My house was always host to at leat a dozen or more a day and new generations!!! After 2 weeks I haven't even seen one. THANK YOU

Some large (1.5-2") roaches frequent the flat roof for rainwater and found a way between floors. Between this powder and the Gentrol disc, no more traces of them. The smell was awful but once you get the nest with bait they frenzy away as they die a fast death. I put a line of powder at edge of floor and molding, then sealed it with latex caulk. The gel dries out but this stuff lasts longer. I think roaches like a particle meal.

Surprisingly Avert spreads well and you dont need alot. It does take a couple weeks to really see a change,but are now finding dead roaches everywhere. We were told 3-4 weeks we should see a big improvement. So far I think they are correct. Make sure to get every closet and room etc. I will update in 2 weeks if possible.

Avert seems to be very successful, but not 100%. However, given the severity of the issue, it's understandable progress.
