Have been seeing activity on a boat that came from the Bahamas about 5 days ago. Been seeing 3 live roaches and some ants around the kitchen. What do you recommend for bait treatment since I believe pesticides cannot be used inside boat?
While a bait gel such as the Advion could be used for ants and roaches, you may find better success with an application of Shockwave Aerosol to the cracks and crevices of the boat where you've seen activity. Shockwave contains contact kill and residual ingredients, as well as an IGR to stop the reproductive cycle of the insects so they don't continue to grow in number. You can use the crack and crevice straw it comes with to spray into crevices of cabinets, storage, under appliances, etc, as long as you avoid any food prep surfaces and cover or remove any exposed food items or utensils before treating. Shockwave Aerosol is labeled for use on boats as long as label instructions are followed.
