    Q
    How much area is covered with 4 syringes of Optigard Cockroach Gel Bait?
    A

    There is not an exact number when it comes to coverage since it depends how much and how often you use Optigard Cockroach Gel Bait

    Please read the instructions bellow to help you get an idea of how much is needed: 

    • For light infestations of cockroaches, 1 to 2 spots are recommended per one sq yd (9 square feet) of the treatment area.
    • For heavy infestations of cockroaches or for control of larger cockroaches, 2 to 4 spots are recommended per sq yd (9 square feet) of the treatment area.

    Each bait spot should equal approximately 0.25 to 0.50 grams of product (a spot approximately 3 mm or 1/8 inch in diameter equals 0.25 grams of product, while a spot approximately 6 mm or 1/4 inch in diameter equals 0.50 grams of product).

    Q
    How long is Optigard Cockroach Gel Bait effective against roaches?
    A

    Optigard Cockroach Gel Bait is effective in helping to control roach populations as long as fresh bait placements are applied, and as long as there are no competing food sources. This bait can be partnered with Advion Evolution or Advion Cockroach Gel Bait for rotational management.  We recommend using baits in conjunction with a non-repellent insecticide and an IGR (insect growth regulator) for complete control over a roach infestation. 

    Please refer to our Roach Control Kits for examples of the recommended products to be used in addition to roach baits, and to our Cockroach Treatment Guide for all recommended steps for successful roach elimination.
