I have seen while doing follow-up visits at pest-control customers and have seen baits on them. Is this even needed? I watched the YouTube video and from what I can gather when the monitor/trap is snapped it is activated. I am old school and always used Catchmaster insect monitor and trap which could use a lure for insects especially roaches.
Gentrol Point source contains hydroprene, which is a biorational Insect growth regulator (IGR). This disrupts the life cycle of certain insects in the egg and larvae stages of development, essentially making it a type of birth control for insects and preventing them from reproducing. Pests do not need to contact the device directly since the active ingredient can treat up to 75 square feet. On the other hand, the insect monitors usually come in a plastic or cardboard base covered with a very sticky, glue-like substance which will trap the insect and will not be able to extricate themselves while the IGR will not kill the adult stages of the insects.
