Customer Reviews for Gentrol Point Source

While I originally purchased Gentrol in a battle against roaches, a pleasant side effect I noticed is that the wool moths and fruit flies all diminished in number in the areas where the Gentrol was placed. Nice!

I have a 4 plex where some folks raised roaches. The gel with the disc took care of the criters in a 3 month period, plus some education of the folks who raied roaches prior 0twp prong attack is best..

I have dog grandchildren who I can't really use sprays or other roach products. I had a leak and was infested with roaches. I was given this product to try by a friend this has been a life saver. I have no roaches and continue to use this.

This product helps to eradicate and prevent further infestations of roaches. I like that it's odorless and very discreet. Not messy like the gel. And the best part is that it works for 90 days.

Gentrol has helped immensely in getting rid of roaches! We have used bait, dust and sprayed and all of it worked great for a little while. We even rotated products and they would still come back after awhile. We have been fighting the little pests for about a year. Now I rarely see them dead or alive.

I live in an apartment. Due to secondhand furniture from a thrift store,, we developed a German roach problem. These things multiply fast and eat everything. The nymphs don't look like roaches, so I didnt know what we were dealing with until it was too late. The apartment complex sent their exterminator to put down gel. I did my own research online and saw that these vermin need a multiple pronged approach to defeat them. I threw or stored away books, paper, cardboard boxes and cleaned off every drop of water in the sinks and showers and made sure to clean up every crumb (so there's no competition for the gel). The gel killed 99% of the roaches after 4 weeks, however, that 1% made me worry. So I purchased the sticky traps for monitoring and the gentrol point source for the birth control plus the exterminator put out more gel after 4 weeks. The gentrol point source I purchased was "dry," which made me worry about the effectiveness. So I called the customer service line and explained the situation. They took care of it and I got a new package from the manufacturer. Getting back to the vermin- after 4 weeks, the exterminator did a second visit and when he saw the gentrol point source, he asked me where I got it because they used it too (very mainstream exterminator company). He showed me how to use it and where to put it. I have seen 2 dark nymphs get stuck on the sticky traps but no new egg droppings, or droppings. Its been 2 weeks, and its been good so far, I give credit to the "attack on all sides" approach this site recommended.

I've been living in a rent-stabilized apartment and the landlord does not care about it. For the first six months, I was fighting the roaches with his provided exterminator. Their sprays did nothing. I kept my garbage tied up and dishes clear of the sink. I kept pantry items in bins and made sure my bathroom was as dry as possible. Still, they were there. I live in an apartment building and I grew up having roaches. I thought I'd always have them because of where I lived- in urban areas, in close contact with others, in cities. I came across this website, and thought- why not? I used gentrol (bait and GP source) and within 2.5 weeks I saw roaches with bent legs, and 1 week later I stopped seeing them completely. It's been 9 months and counting since I've seen a roach in my apartment. My relief is immeasurable. Also, the building exterminator saw what I was using and he said "oh yeah, gentrol. That's the best there is." I should note that once every 6 months, I spray the Ortho roach spray around the perimeter of my apartment for good measure. Ortho did not work on its own the first 6 months I used it. I needed population control and this product did the trick (and keeps doing it!).

Have used this for about 2 years in my own home and my Apts. It is a really effective product. I live in the South on the coast,, bugs are a constant Fact of life. I find some dead every day but no new babies. So the bugs are sooners... sooner come stay at your house than live outside. If I find bugs dead in the middle of floor time to re do my line of defense. If all the items I use Are working they are dead behind the furniture not in front. I get all my kill program from doyourown.com. This disk is apart of that ongoing !No bugs at my hse. Just dead ones.

If you really have problems getting rid of German roaches this is the big game changer because they stop having children. And This Thing Really Works. I don't see any more of those roach eggs which look like peanut shells laying around. I am so thankful for this product cuz it really is helpful.

We have steamed, sprayed poison, dusted with diatomaceous earth and put out the Gentrol. It is too early to tell if we have been successful in eliminating the bedbugs.

This product controls reproduction so it's hard to rate this early in. I haven't seen any new hatchlings of dry produce Beatles or Mites and I have noticed bugs hatching on the outside of my property witch could be an indicator that it hasn't work or an indicator that the bugs can sense the product and are pushed outside of the effective perimeter. Time will tell.

It killed only a few roaches, but it did not get rid of my problem with roaches. When I used this product in another apartment, it wiped out all the roach problem all together. Not the case in the SRO I live in. I knew all the roaches were gone back then because I did not see any roaches after a year. I don't know why the same thing did not happen this time. I thinking these SRO' are so old and cheap that it may be impossible to fix this problem.

I purchased these along with Advion gel to combat a mild infestation as I live in an apartment building and got new neighbors. I'm not sure if these work but I did see a roach with a strange, flat body. I had candles burning and had to run and turn the light on to see what it was exactly. I'm not sure if it is the effect of the Gentrol. It was a medium size one and caught me off guard. I've seen less and less since my purchase. I also have a storage unit that I may put the disks in. Just to be in the safe side.

Using Gentrol Point Source has kept roaches gonnneee from my house. Easy to use, very effective, and I haven't seen a roach in over 6 months since first using the product with other " Do My Own " products ! Now, it's been over two years since seeing roaches.

I have already seen results from using this product. We live in Florida and it's very hard to find something that actually works in controlling the roach population. They can sneak in and you end up with uninvited intruders in your home. Now if one of them sneaks in I know there is a good chance that they won't be able to breed and make more. We keep the house clean, use lavender sachets, and traps just to make sure we never end up with an infestation. I am glad to have found this. ????

There is no liquid inside the tube you beak open. The tubes are intact but when you snap them, nothing comes out; they're empty. I'd be more than happy to send the unused ones back if you would trade them for good ones but I don't think I should have to pay for the shipping.

I ordered this gentrol in addition to the Maxforce gel bait and Temprid to knock out a roach infestation on multiple fronts. I never received my initial order and customer service was great about sending out a replacement order pronto. These are easy to use.

I have about 7 in the kitchen and nothing has changed. Everything seems to be a scam.

  Expert response:
Gentrol Point Source should not be used alone and will take time to see results after. It only affects the young by preventing them from maturing into reproducing adults. You should use in combination with other products to get complete control as Gentrol will not kill anything directly. We would recommend one of our roach control kits. You can see the kits by clicking on the link below: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/roach-control-kits-c-2_73.html We also have a great article for eliminating them: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-roaches-a-458.html

I would love to rate this but I do not know how to tell if it is working. We have them put everywhere in the house and they are being used in conjunction with Demon Max. I will be buying them again just for peace of mind. I have only been using them for about 3 weeks but so far so good. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Love this stuff! Had a very bad bug problem, put these things out and within a few days I was already seeing lots less bugs. Haves only put these out a few weeks ago, so can't hardly speak for the bugs being able to reproduce and all. Thought these things were only supposed to keep them from reproducing, but I have seen LOTS of dead bugs laying around! I will definitely be buying more of these real soon! I am very, VERY happy with how these have worked!
