Customer Reviews for Gentrol Point Source

I have used Gentrol Point Source in combination w/Demon WP and Dupont Advion gel bait to bring several infestations to an end over the years. I do maintenance on a number of apartments and these three products, when applied together, will stop an infestation dead in its tracks. I used to pay for an exterminator but once they failed to stop an infestation after 3 treatments I started treating myself using these products and I save $$$ by doing it myself. And I have had some really bad infestations where the roaches were falling off the tops of doors, coming out of plumbing / electrical penetrations in the walls, and on the walls during the day.

I live in a apartment that when I first moved into had a German Roach Problem. When I went on a massive detail house cleaning, first I found that previous tenant, well.. were'nt the cleanest of people. After getting all cleaned I DID have professional come in to help start the getting rid of the problem. Once I saw them slowing up , I dicided to do MY OWN Pest Control. I found this site and ordered my own home defense. I ordered the Advion Roach Bait and the Gentrol Point Source. AMAZING!!.... It was like the bugs just disappeared completely. I would see one every once in a while but it would be just barely alive. I like that I am able to control where baits and gentrols are placed since I have a small pet and I can be secure in knowing he does not have access. I HIGHLY recommend these products to anyone, products work fantastic, they are easy to use, totally worth purchasing. I Have ZERO bugs since using this product.

I'm a girl and I hate roaches. I started seeing roaches on the kitchen counter every night. Found this site, and bought the Gentrol and the Max Force Bait gel. Then, 1) Spent 6 hrs cleaning the kitchen -insided refrigerator, emptied every shelf, oven, stove top, counters, floors. Wiped everything w/diluted Pinesol. Discarded open sugar/pasta/flour containers. 2) Squeezed tiny dots of Max Force every few inches inside cabinets, dishwasher, under counter, around floor. 3)Put 1 Gentrol in each full cabinet. 3 days later, started finding dead roaches, 3 medium-big INSIDE dishwasher. Very happy. Tip: professional squeeze gun not needed at all. Just use regular inc. plunger.

I live in Florida where roaches can be a real problem. I was infested with German Cockroaches. After a deep cleaning (roach feces is nymph food) and placing Max force gel bait to kill the adults, I place Gentrol around my house where the roaches seemed to be vacationing. It's been 1 month now and I can say I think I have won the war of the roaches, I highly recommend this product.

Gentrol Point Source has worked effectively for me for years. When I start seeing roaches I check the date and three months have passed. It isn't easy to control roaches in Florida. Great product.

I love this stuff because it solves the second problem of roach infestation....the roaches breeeding and coming back. I got rid of the roaches in my apt with the Advion bait gel and then used these little 'birth control for roaches' disks all around the house to keep them from being able to make babies which would infest us again. You can tell when it's working because you'll start seeing the dead bodies from the bait and the live roaches you do see will be a little funny looking. They look as if they are sick and they are always very immature looking. So I have to say I love this product and Im glad I finally got rid of these roaches for good.

I had a major infestation turn up after new neighbors moved in and this is part of the strategy. 1. Cykick - use in cracks and crevices like around the dishwasher, behind and under the fridge. Fast knockdown. 2. Bait rotation: Advion or Maxforce FC Magnum with Vendetta Plus - get the bait stations and extra plungers. Your roaches will start to disappear in days. Keep up with the bait stations, even after you no longer see roaches. 3. Gentrol Point Source. In cabinets, under sinks, on the backs of drawers. Behind appliances. Use a little sticker with a date on it that lets you know when to replace them. I was roach free in three weeks. I see one now and then, but they're always dead. My manager asked me why I don't have roaches and I told her "Domyownpestcontrol.com."

I probably had thousands of roaches inside my walls. I put these on the walls near the hiding spots (behind pictures, around electrical outlets, near cabinets), around electrical appliances, under the fridge and stove, and in the inside of the cabinet doors in the kitchen and the bathroom. Three months later, and I very rarely see a roach. If I do, I know that I missed a hiding spot. I like that this can be used in the kitchen where the majority of roaches probably hang out. I also have cats which seem to have been unaffected. I used a very small amount of bait too, but I only saw a few dead roaches near the bait. I think that it was the Gentrol that did it. You just need the patience to wait the 3 months (average life span of a roach).

I have rescue birds and fish so I can not use harsh chemicals. Construction on a new addition on an old building shook some critters out. This is safe for my birds and you can see the difference when the wings crinkle up on the bugs and no new ones emerge.

Here recently, German cockroaches were brought in from a family member's belongings. I hate roaches! I've never had them in my home, so I had no idea how to treat them. I sprayed a high quality, professional barrier spray all over the house, but would still see them here and there. I was at my wits end! I'm terrified of roaches and I was worried that if we had company one might be spotted. How embarrassing that would be! So I got online, found this site through a Google search and this product was recommended to use, in conjunction, with the poison barrier. I've had them for a couple of weeks now and have not seen ANY of those nasty roaches again! I'm so thankful I found this site! I can finally sleep well knowing those nasty roaches aren't scampering around my kitchen at night! Great product and well worth EVERY penny!

There had been German cockroaches for 15 years. Treatment included monthly Demon WP spray, Advion bait, Delta Dust inside the walls and appliances, and these disks. The roaches are gone after a year, but we continue to treat for 2 years because of the eggs inside the walls. It was a long haul, but worth it. These discs are the easiest part of the treatment.

I wished I had known about these products a long time ago. Everywhere you move there are roaches, but no more. I have just the stuff for them now!

I'm giving 5 stars for benefit of the doubt, because I used these in conjunction with Advion bait gel in one apartment, and with Maxforce gel in another. Both units had German cockroaches, and neither has them now. Even if the gel's doing the job, I like to think the Gentrol is working toward prevention of further infestation. I'd better call my new tenants and make sure they don't throw them away.

I live in an old part of town. When we first moved into our rental, the roaches were (no kidding) about two inches in length and they would just hang out with you like it wasn't a big deal. I put this out about two weeks ago. I've only seen a couple of roaches and their wings looks smaller than usual. So far so good, but I am using the bait and the barrier treatment recommended by domyownpestcontrol.com. I can easily see myself saving so much more money using this plan than having an exterminator come out and charge 200.00 to 300.00 per visit.

Bought product and began using it in our car immediately. Yes I said our car. The roaches that infested our home had moved to the car. Since I used the product before, I knew it would work. We vacuumed the car on the weekend and found many dead roaches. Product works all the time.

I have been battling pantry pests (Indian Meal Moths) for what feels like forever. Since they were in the pantry, we were hesitant to use pesticides in there. These are perfect - no pesticides - you just put them in a few places and that's it. A week or so after putting them out, I started seeing moths that were either flying funny, or seemed unable to fly at all. It has been 2 weeks now and I'm seeing far less moths and the ones I'm seeing have definitely been affected. The only drawback is that they don't die rapidly. But the only alternative is to use pesticide and we didn't want that around stored food for obvious reasons.

These Gentrol point sources REALLY help! There's a roach infestation at the school where I work. Pesticides were outlawed. The school district will place sticky traps, but it's not enough and you have to wait 2 months for a pest control request to be answered. The kids are always eating and sneaking chips and candy in class and shoving their gum where ever, so it's bug paradise in there. I put 3 of these disks in my classroom (diagonal corners of the room and one by my desk to protect my stuff) to control roaches and keep them from nesting and multiplying in our school supplies. I can't stop roaches from being transported into the classroom by students, coming in through the cracks/under the door, or do pest control for the whole school, but I've been using Gentrol point source in my classroom for over a year, and roaches 'visit' my classroom but they're NOT nesting there. This is a safe option for me where pesticides are not allowed. Although, I have to admit, it's really stupid that district/school board people think it's better to have roaches in a school than to do proper pest control to protect the students and staff. They won't pay for Gentrol either. I'm sure moms don't want their kids coming home with 'visitors' in their backpacks. I know I don't! Nothing changes till someone wins a lawsuit. Till then, I'll spring for the Gentrol.

I was inpatient, b/c I had been dealing with roaches for so long, and they appeared inspite of the Green Dragon Roach Kill. After 2 wks of waiting for the Gentrol order, in which USPS gave to someone else, the new order shipped to me. After about 5 days of the combination of the Green Dragon Roach Kill (2.5wks now), and the Gentrol, I saw a lower incidence of the insects, & that was with the last 3 days in which the temperatures almost hit a record high for January. If 1 has a bad roach infestation, they need both a non resistant bait, & an IGR.

Been using these for awhile on 3 rental duplexes. Once you get the roaches under control (with these and baits), these seem to prevent reinfestation. Only problem is tenants who throw them away, or are afraid to use them, because I'm just a landlord, and not wearing an Orkin suit, so couldn't possibly know anything. I'm thinking of getting an Orkin uniform and some nose'n'glasses with mustache. Anyway, only drawback is these disks are kinda pricey. But if they keep me from having to put the bait out, which looks like peanut butter is smeared all over the walls, maybe they're worth it.

I can't use pesticides and I have found that if these Gentrol point source are used every three months, they are very effective at roach control. They also seem to help with pantry moths. Florida is rife with bugs and I supplement with a few large roach traps in under sink areas.

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.

When i first used Gentrol Point Source, i was amazed. It worked better than the professional i had used previously, my infestation was bad . I`ve bought products in the store but this product is awesome. I used the kit that had the Gentrol point source in it,69.00$. the next purchase will be kit #2. You need to replace the Gentrol point source every three months so it will kill the babies so they won`t become adults and you can eradicate them

I had a major German roach infestation. I was going insane and waking up in the middle of the night just to see how many I could find and kill in my kitchen. My HOA pest control was coming out weekly to treat, but the infestation got worse. I tried solutions from my local hardware store, which seem to act as steroids for these little jerks. Finally, after tons of research online, I bought this and Advion cockroach bait arenas. It worked! Took a few weeks, but they all died and never came back. It was like cockroach apocalypse.

I moved into an inner city low income neighborhood and my apartment turned out to be infested with roaches. The worst I had ever seen, let alone had to experience and live with, in all my 48 years. I used the Gentrol in conjunction with a fast killing bait gel which drew what seemed to be every roach in the building. The rapid nest kill gel was a great quick solution but I'm stuck here for a year and need long term. I gave devices to adjoining neighbors to widen the net. I haven't seen a single roach in over a month. I will continue a monthly maintenance regimen though because my neighbors could really care less about living with the roaches and at least one apartment I offered a device to was filthy and foul smelling and others refused to accept and place the device in their unit.

My in laws had heavy roach infestation for ten+ years. They eventually moved to our home. Given time to work this product wiped them out. In our home and theirs.
