Advion Cockroach Gel Bait, 4 Tubes x 30-Grams, 1 Plunger and 2 Tips, German Roach Insect Pest Control, Indoor and Outdoor Use, Roach Killer Gel for American, German and Other Major Cockroach Species

We randomly started seeing roaches in our kitchen after several years living in our place and never having that problem. I am TERRIFIED of bugs so you can imagine my stress when that started up.We did take several steps before ordering this product that I believe did help, so I will share them as I hope it can help others. Sorry for the long review! I put stars where I talk about this product specifically, but if you are reading this - I figure you need all the help and tips you can get!!We live in a condo and one of our kitchen walls is on the opposite side of our neighbor's. (She claims to not have seen any bugs, but that is another story for another day.) We started by identifying where we were seeing the bugs (floor, countertop, wall?) and it was mostly closest to the side we share with her. We often get up pretty early (4 - 6 AM a lot) and that is one of the times I would see one randomly appear. One day, I was in the kitchen and turned my back for a minute while cooking and when I turned back there was one in our coffeemaker area, right above the dishwasher! I later realized it came from the tiny sliver of space that is above our dishwasher (I eventually witnessed it come out) and that is a very common hiding space so you will definitely want to investigate this area in your home. They also really like coffee, apparently, which made sense why those mornings I would see them near this space.We did use some diatomaceous earth as one of the first steps, though I probably went a bit heavy with that in some of the more common corners and areas, so be careful near your dishes, silverware, cookware storage etc. I think it's effective for sure and was so desperate for solutions, but sometimes I still see little puffs of powder on a pan or something and that is annoying. Next, we cleared our countertops as much as possible to minimize the hiding spaces for them and make them easier to spot (no loaves of bread out, no bananas, etc). We saw one right below a cabinet, on the wall, so we cleared that side of cabinets, using plastic bags to pack up our teas, canned goods and other things -- moving them to a different cabinet where we never see them come from. We made sure bags like chips, packs of cookies like Oreos, cereal, sugar, spices, coffee are closed well with a chip clip, and packed away. Then, we closed off those bags (just a simple knot for easy access) but that gave us peace of mind that nothing was getting in our pantry/food items.Next, you MUST seal out any new bugs. Look beneath and on the side of any of those wall cabinets. If there is a gap or space of any size between the wall and the fixture, you need to seal it with caulk. Even a tiny hole should be filled, especially if you share a wall with a neighbor. For under our sink where the pipes go far back, I used diatomaceous. After all food was stored away, holes and gaps were sealed and some more unreachable areas were diatomaceous we did see a significant decrease. Look into how these insects reproduce. It takes so many days for them to mature etc and you want to minimize them being able to grow eat and live.About the Advion ***** We only used it near the spaces we saw bugs the most. I followed most of the suggestions and placed a small dot onto a few little pieces of cardboard (tear up a clean tampon box or something). Because this is BAIT, we didn't want to attract them in areas they weren't really coming from. We were already going out of town for a few days so it was perfect because I did not want to see the bugs come out to get the bait (I never did witness that, though for the record). We put a few squares into the cleared out cabinets, I did a dab or two in the area above the dishwasher (out of sight, so hopefully they'd eat it before I see them), we slid a square under the stove, and I did a dab right behind it as well because we have a little gap there too and a bug had gotten away from me one day under the stove (yuck). We ended up removing the bottom drawer of the stove to access it for cleaning underneath. Get this area VERY well to get any crumbs, gooey stuff, grime... all things they feed on. You may be shocked to see what is under your stove feeding or giving them hiding spots. If you're in doubt about a hole or opening, either caulk it up or determine if that maybe somewhere worth baiting them.I liked the application of this because they give you 4 tubes. We didn't even use one whole one, so we still have 3 left. I really like that you get a reusable pointy tip to distribute the product (be sure to rinse well and let it air dry before storing back into the case). I used something sharp, pointy to clear excess product from the applicator tip.They say don't use a lot of it, but under our stove we found a significantly sized gap/opening near the gas line that runs into the ground. These type of areas are perfect hiding/transport spots for them! So we kind of gunked it up around there, as we didn't plan on going back to look anytime soon, if all went well. And hopefully they'd have a nice layer of bait to "eat through" before they could even travel or hide in the hole. We stopped seeing bugs within the same week. *******Journey continued:I was skeptical at first, since I had been seeing one or two a week, sometimes 2 days in a row. I absolutely think this product is worth buying, but if you REALLY want to combat your bug problem you need to inspect where they're coming from, seal openings and clear ANY hiding and food sources!- I think the diatomaceous helped in the short term while we completed the other steps and waited for this product to come, but again be super careful with that stuff it can be messy and just annoying to clean up. I would only use it SPARINGLY in places you can very easily clean later. Also, avoid treating with diatomaceous or boric and then immediately using bait. Apparently you shouldn't really use both at the same time, because the diatomaceous can negate other treatments... while we did use both, a few weeks had passed between the DE and Advion.- If you can, try to "watch" where they come from or try to hide from you before killing it, try to do that so you can see where they are getting in/out or hiding (note: apparently you are not supposed to smash them, I use a bug spray, pick it up and clean the area immediately). Ex: The bug that got away from me ran under the stove so that is how we figured to clean + bait under there.- Do your research. I think this stuff works great but if your problem is really bad already or seems to be getting worse, you may want to consider the IGR (insect growth regulators) as well. We never ended up purchasing any of that but look into when/how to use those to help you.I think I covered most of the tips and I wish you the best of luck. Bugs are such a terrible stress so I hope you can get some peace again soon!!

We moved into a duplex in December 2020. We didn't have roaches for over a year and when the neighbor moved out the roaches moved in. They were German roaches!!! As soon as we'd go in the kitchen and turn the light on they'd scatter. It was so embarrassing! They were everywhere. We used raid, roach bait, made our own bait with boric acid and nothing worked. I cut strips of paper and put a line and put about 4 strips around the stove and fridge, in the cabinets under the sink, in the pantry, behind the sofa, dressers, the entertainment center, the bathrooms, you name it. Those damn things even got in my kids backpacks and crawled out while she was on the bus. Thank goodness no one saw. One even crawled in my purse at work escaped. I was able to kill it before anyone else saw it. That's how bad they were. It only took a few days from them to leave but I haven't seen any in months. You would never know the infestation we had. If you're on the fence, get off!! Buy this immediately. This stuff works. Cleaning up the dead roaches is so freaking satisfying. I wish I had taken pictures because there were thousands. All in all I think because of the infestation we had I think it took about a week to get rid of them all.

this product is great. I’ve been trying to fight an investigation for quite some time. I have tried multiple products. Have not gotten anywhere IThis product is great. I’ve been trying to fight a investigation for quite some time. I have tried multiple products. Have not gotten anywhere. I tried this product. Could you not put it down? Didn’t expect to get much results within an hour. I had to sweep my floor four times. And for an entire month of using the product, I had to constantly keep sweeping very, very often it is safe for pets, but I did not put it down near the pets. I just put it in my cabinets in my cupboards. It has a great value of money. It’s very cheap on price for seeing great results. Very easy to do very quick to put down. Instructions are very thorough on how to use the product. I am still seeing results to this day and haven’t bought this product for about four months now and I’m still finding dead critters or their deformed and are dying population has significantly died.

Never in my adult life have I ever had roaches in my home. My grandson stayed over and his house is infested with them. Suddenly I’m seeing roaches in my house. I used the spray I’ve always used to keep bugs at bay but it didn’t phase these roaches. Come to find out, the roaches are German cockroaches and regular household sprays won’t kill them.I came across Advion Roach Bait and thought I’d give it a try. Directions on how to use are vague so I had to look it up. The key is to apply a pea sized dab like every 8-10 inches apart in corners, hinges or anywhere you see roaches. This stuff works because we are finding dead ones everywhere and if they’re alive, they’re barely moving. We had an exterminator come in and he applied their spray and traps but he did tell me this stuff works. He also said I’ll need to switch to something else later on because German Cockroaches build an immunity. I don’t think a lot of people realize this.I recommend this product and if you’re unsure of how to apply it, do your research.

1) deducted a star because they should proved TWO plungers2) reduced roach activity and none scurrying at night when I turn on the kitchen light to get a drink of water (still cover my drinking glass at night)3) Not sure how often to reapply and when I first got these I was reapplying daily.4) I use tongue depressors that I almost tossed!
