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.
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.
