    Q
    Mixing
    I put these in areas where a local company came and sprayed. Is it ok to mix those chemicals? Is it ok to put these in areas where someone might have sprayed on?
    A

    Because Gentrol Point Source stations do not actually kill insects, they can be used in conjunction with any insecticide.

    Q
    Hi, If I use essential peppermint oil in diffusers in my home will that interfere with Gentrol?
    Hi, If I use pure essential peppermint oil in diffusers in my home will that interfere with Gentrol? I am wondering if it will interfere with the vapors of the Gentrol?? I am currently using both Gentrol point source and the aerosol in different places. If this does interfere then I'm going to have to put down all new Gentrol, which is OK if you tell me to do that? Thank you
    A

    No, using pure essential peppermint oil in diffusers will not interfere with Gentrol Point Source Stations.

    Q
    Can the Gentrol Point Sorce be put under our dishwasher?
    We live in an apartment and are concerned that cockroaches might be under our dishwasher. Can the Gentrol Point Sorce be put under our dishwasher to deal with insects that might reside there?
    A

    We would not recommend applying Gentrol Point Source underneath the dishwasher or any other appliance. The product covers up to 75 sq feet. We would recommend putting it somewhere higher that gets proper air flow. You can spray Temprid FX Insecticide around the base of the dishwasher/baseboard of the floor & it will leave a residue that the roaches will get on their bodies & take back. If you want to put anything underneath the dishwasher, we would advise using Delta Dust Insecticide.

    Q
    Can you replace a gentrol point source disc after its original placement to a different location?
    A

    Moving the Gentrol Point Source would not have an effect on how it works. Keep in mind they only last 3 months from the time you activate them and only cover 75 sq ft.

    Q
    How long are unused discs good?
    If I have unused discs from a 2020 purchase are they still going to be effective?
    A

    The Gentrol Point Source Stations when unused will have a shelf life of at least a year or so. Once activated, each station will continue to give out the growth-inhibiting vapor for 3 months before each station would need to be replaced.

    Q
    Can I put them in my bedroom and inside a cabinet where I have my dishes and food?
    Is it safe to put Gentrol in the same cabinet where it has open cereal boxes and other dry food that can't be closed? I know it has to be 3 feet apart from exposed food so would it be safe if I put it near canned food it will be in the same cabinet as the cereal boxes
    A

    When using Gentrol Point Source in cabinets where food is stored, any opened boxes or packages containing food would need to be placed in a sealed containter or bag while the discs are located in the cabinet.

    Q
    My kitchen is small. Where EXACTLY can I put it? Please for the love of god be specific.
    This is so frustrating. I really can't stand instructions that are unclear or contradictory. 1. Can I put this in my kitchen? Where exactly? Can food be within 3 feet if it's covered? 2. I'd like clarification on the 3 feet rule. I eat in my room, but I do not prepare or leave food there. Could I put this in my room? My room is small so the area I eat might be within 3 feet. 3. Aside from food issues, is it safe to use Gentrol in my room? Near my bed? High up near the ceiling? Inside my closet? 4. Does it penetrate surfaces? (Important question) Am I safe putting this near, on, and / or behind my refrigerator? 5. Is it ok to put it high up around or in place where I frequent? What about walking by with food? Is it ok if the food is covered? 6. Last question... Is there a video that demonstrates good Gentrol Point locations? That would be so helpful. Please please please answer all my questions thoroughly if you can. I don't mean to sound demanding, but these roaches have me fed up and I just want instructions that are clear as crystal.
    A

    Gentrol Point Source can be used in the kitchen but it should not be used on any food preparation surfaces and kept at least 3 feet away from exposed food. Gentrol Point Source can be used in and around kitchen or bathroom cabinets, inside closets, inside pantries, false ceilings, near refrigerators or other appliances and refused areas. They can also be used inside a bedroom if needed, it can be placed behind a dresser or whatever is furthest from the area you sit to eat but it wouldn't affect the food as it's not stored or prepared in the room, it will also have no ill effect on food as you walk nearby an active Gentrol Point Source Station and it will not penetrate surfaces. Please review our Roach Control Guide for further tips and step by step roach control as well as this video on how to use Gentrol Point Source.

    Q
    Will this work on fleas?
    A

    Gentrol Point Source is not labeled for fleas. If you are spraying outdoors, you may consider using Archer IGR. We have our Outdoor Flea and Tick Kit that contains the insecticide & IGR needed for outdoor flea control. For indoors you may consider using PT Alpine Flea and Bed Bug Aerosol 14 oz. which contains an IGR. Or we also have our Indoor Flea and Tick Kit which has everything to tackle an indoor flea infestation

    Q
    I live in a condo and i put the Gentrol Point Source at the side of my cabinet. Will be safe from inhalation?
    My bed is placed on the floor without any bed frame. I saw in the internet that the fumes are heavy so it might reach my sleeping area. Will I still be safe from inhalation of the disc?
    A

    You should place a Gentrol Point Source disc in each room. For the kitchen area, you can use the sticky tabs included in the package and place the disc on the side or behind the fridge or place it to the side of the cabinets or pantry. You only need to keep the disc away from food prep areas not from stored food product. According to the manufacturer, there is almost no hazard from inhalation.

    My gentrol point source devices have no self-adhesive. How am I supposed to attach?

    Q
    I put up the gentrol months ago (maybe 6) and I’m still seeing baby roaches.
    A
    Each Gentrol Point Source Station treats up to 75 square feet for a period of 90 days, which means each station should be replaced after 90 days in order to maintain effectiveness in that area.  We recommend that you refer to our product video here, and our helpful Cockroach Prevention Guide and Cockroach Treatment Guide for more information.
