Tips for Maximum Effectiveness
Do not apply Vanecto cockroach bait on surfaces treated with residual insecticide sprays.
Do not spray surfaces where Vanecto roach bait gel has been applied with residual insecticides.
Reapply bait if it's eaten or dried out. Regular inspections are key.
Keep bait away from food contact surfaces and high-heat areas (over 130°F).
Avoid applying porous surfaces like cardboard and concrete to prevent drying.
Combine with good sanitation—remove food crumbs, grease, and water sources.
Pro Tip: Rotate Vanecto Cockroach Gel Bait with other bait products every few months if results slow to avoid resistance. See our entire selection of roach baits for additional options.
