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

So… my landlord is not great… something I think a lot of us know about… and I’m pretty sure the pest control guy is fleecing the property manager by not insisting on a full building treatment and instead only going apartment by apartment to spray poison… that doesn’t work… I confronted the pest control guy and at first he tried to bs me by telling me that if I was having roach problems then I should tell the property manager and then I caught shame in his eyes when I asked him what good will it do to have him spray my apartment when the roaches will just move into my neighbors apartment until the “poison” barrier dries and stops being as effective as it is when it’s first applied, and likewise I always know when he’s spraying other people’s apartments because the roaches come into my apartment. Heck, I saw roaches **in the hallway** before I got a single one of my things moved in. I kept all my furniture in the garage with a roach bomb until they came and sprayed the apartment. Little did I know that the spray didn’t do a damn thing. Cut to last week. I finally get a chance to apply this stuff. It comes out like really thin caulk but it isn’t super sticky… I’m sure the instructions say something about putting little lentil sized beads of poison every foot or so… but I ignored that. There’s a lot of spaces and cracks and crevices in my apartment so I squeezed pea sized beads into everywhere I could find that would fit a pea sized bead, and sometimes just put a spaghetti tangle if there was a big enough gap at the floorboards. It’s mostly easy to squeeze the gel out, but take frequent breaks to stretch your wrists… you’ll thank me later. It isn’t messy, thankfully, and the floorboard gaps are big enough that I don’t have to worry about the cats getting into it and getting poisoned. The roaches, however… oh man 😈 I’ve been finding dead bug after dead bug after dead bug. And all different types: German, Wood, brown banded… and I’m pretty sure I saw a dead wood louse as well. So it’s extremely toxic to roaches. Much more so than the “poison” that the pest control guy has been using. Before I started using this stuff, I would see these creepy looking wood roaches with deformed wings from where (I assume) the poison from the commercial pest control guy didn’t finish the job. I never saw a single dead roach (just deformed ones) until I started using this gel. Now I need to sweep the kitchen every morning to get rid of the neighbors dead roaches. Which, you would think I’d be mad, but I’m not. I’m happy they’re not alive and crawling around my apartment. (I don’t keep food out, I don’t keep dishes out. If there’s pantry food that gets opened, it goes into the fridge. With the dishes and silverware. Like where normal human people keep dishes and silverware) Anyhow, 10/10 and I’m not even halfway done with the first tube. It’s cheaper per application than the national brand and it kills all the roach species, not just the little round ones. And it’s more reliable than an apartment manager and the pest control guy.

Roach Problem? This Gel Is the “Nuclear Option” That Actually Works I keep this gel bait in the “break glass in case of emergency” category for roaches, especially the small German ones that show up out of nowhere and make you question everything you’ve ever cleaned. I’ve used it as part of a simple one-two combo: gel bait for the colony + sticky traps to monitor activity. When you do that, it’s one of the fastest ways I’ve found to turn “uh oh” into “okay, we’re back in control.” Application is pretty straightforward. It comes with a plunger and tips, and the gel squeezes out like a thin caulk. The key is placing small dots in the right spots (cracks, crevices, behind/under appliances, around plumbing penetrations, inside cabinet corners, along toe-kicks) rather than smearing it everywhere. In my experience, less is more if it’s placed strategically. Once it’s down, you start seeing the classic signs: increased activity briefly, then dead roaches showing up and the sightings start dropping off. What I like: * It’s targeted and doesn’t have that “I just fogged my kitchen” vibe. * You can put it where roaches actually travel and hide (the places sprays rarely reach). * It pairs really well with glue boards so you can measure progress instead of guessing. * One box goes a long way. You’re not going to blow through four tubes unless you’re treating a large area or a pretty serious infestation. Things to keep in mind: * It can dry out, especially if you put big globs. Small dots stay usable longer. * Don’t place it where kids/pets can access it. I treat it like any serious pest control product: deliberate placement only. * Avoid spraying strong insecticides right on top of the bait areas. You want roaches comfortable enough to feed and take it back with them. * Expect a short “die-off” period where you see more dead ones (and sometimes more movement) before it gets quiet. For anyone dealing with roaches in kitchens, garages, or around entry points, this is one of those products that feels like what the pros use because… it basically is. If you’re already seeing babies, this is exactly the kind of step-up product that can stop the cycle. Bottom line: A highly effective gel bait for knocking down roaches quickly when placed correctly—best used in small dots in cracks/crevices and paired with glue traps to track results. It’s not the “prettiest” task, but the results are worth it.

After 4 years of using the same regimen for pest control that was working well, the roaches became uncontrollable. I did a deep dive and decided to try Advion. It is super effective. I watched a bunch of videos of how to apply. I did not want to apple to the underside of cabinets and counters as some videos recommended. I have kids. So I opted to cut strips of cardboard and apply dots of advion so that the roaches could easily encounter the bait. I put a strip in each under-the-sink cabinet throughout my house to keep it out of reach of my kids. Within days I was no longer seeing any roaches. The pack comes with 4 syringes, a plunger, and two applicator tips. I used less than 1/4 of one syringe to treat my whole house. I cleaned the tip out with a running water and a toothpick to save it for the next time.

Had a horrible infestation of all types of roaches from going out of town for a month, and couldn't get rid of it, but used this and after a couple weeks, the roaches were less than half, now about a month later I rarely see any. The application tip is pretty fine, so you can get into cracks fairly easily, and the product is a good consistency- it doesnt stick to the applicator tip and make a mess when using it like something other brands. It's also nice that the color is neutral, so it isn't super obvious in my house, we have light colored floors and walls. I've only used like 1/2 of one tube for my 1900sq/ft house, so it's definitely worth your money.

We had roaches due to a neighbor below us who had an infestation. We had tried for a month to clean non stop and kill and roaches we saw, but nothing was working. We purchased this and after putting this is the area that they kept showing up the most the roaches were gone. They completely disappeared. We only reapplied once to make sure they were really gone but it was more of a paranoid thing. No odor and plenty to go where you need it to. Only problem is that there are only two applicator tips so you need to clean them right away to make sure you can te-use it.

The method is effective. I reside in an apartment building, and it is a challenging decision to choose between this or that arena. It appears that tubes will be slightly more effective (but that means they will consume the bait!). I have observed some emerging after consuming the bait 30 minutes later. I visited the exterminator to inquire about any changes. I found two German roaches cowering, and I hope they share the bait with the rest of their family, and they will all be eliminated soon. My exterminator sprays once every four weeks, and she recommended purchasing the brand arenas they are accustomed to. After six months, I have reduced the infestation to a minimum. I have one bottle. I recently noticed their filthy little babies scampering around. Perhaps they will consume the deceased ones and perish. I will place a fourth tube after the exterminator sprays a few days later or as she instructs. I have completely eradicated these tiny bugs. If I encounter one bug (after 13 years in my villa), I will shoot the landlord in the face. If they do not spray the surrounding units simultaneously, it will not be effective. The exterior must spray every unit in the two-story building with ten units. It is not that difficult. I understand that people have to work and want to be there (it’s the landlord). I will inform you if they are gone in an 800 square foot one-bedroom apartment with four tubes. I know that the arenas last longer and do not die as quickly, so I will purchase the tubes. You do not want to caulk with them; they do exactly what it says: place a pea-sized bait in the area where you see them, and they will emerge and die. If you see baby roaches, try to get them quickly. I believe that two months, eight tubes, and a once-a-month exterminator should eradicate the roaches within 60 days, with a maximum of 90 days. I have done everything! EVERY SINGLE THING at Lowe’s Home Depot. This is the only method that has ever made me feel like it is working. If you encounter German roaches, purchase this one with four tubes. Place it on corners and trash cans in any spots where you have seen a few. In two to three months, you should not have any problems (I will buy a four-tube round and use one tube, ensuring that I do not miss any exterminator appointments). Upon my stove replacement, I encountered a pest infestation. To my surprise, they purchased a used stove. Despite residing in a desirable area with a one-bedroom unit priced at $1850, including a parking spot, I have not encountered any pests. However, I have found a deceased insect and some that I have trapped using sticky tape. I recommend this , nothing at any big box stores will not work as well as this one. I know I was trying everything before I broke down and called a professional. Took this method 3- 31/2 months to eradicate German cockroaches . In a onrr free bedroom 4 months one 4 tubes per month ( drop 2 tubes, the next tube when you see they have eaten the bait 2 nd abd 3rd ect Week one 2 tubes 7 days later one tube where they ate all the poison. And round 4th tube to get next generation .! Is my method . Clean the dead bugs and flush them out with toilet or put in garbage bag run it out to the curb. In case these crazy aliens 👽 I swear they will reproduce dead ! Or the baby’s will be born if I could put them in a envelope all the dead land stuff my $1850 rent check in there with them ℹ totally woukd ! I said I will if this doesn’t work ( luckily it’s working) lol 😂 seriously I can joke about it now it’s working. And I can have a house guest again. I willl be honest and tell you straight if this stops working I’ll tell you rt away , so far the tubes are good 👍🏼 p.s. sticky tarps $8.00 ones got the baby’s . I’ll find the link but it’s not Amazion

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!!

My father's home got infested after letting a friend use his washer because she had problems and toted a creepy crawler in.beware of others things you never know..ugh I worked my A off getting the job done. With 3 months of cleaning refrigerator stove microwaves and all nooks and crannies treating first with talspar spray outside and inside before my clean everywhere in conjunction after clean with diatomaceous earth applied under stove and refrigerator worked freaking wonders a little goes along ways and with sticky pads combat bait 1 syringe, first then went back with 1 syringe syngenta bait, along with gentrol point source. I used a bulb and removed all outlets and put the diatomaceous earth in all of them in kitchen that's where markings were as I was cleaning a small puff is all you need wear a mask!! I scrubbed everything down and that is key plug holes and fix water leaks. I started a small area at a time and cleaned with decluttering. I did put sticky pads down first after 1st spray and it was party time with a stomping match....!! After completely cleaning/sanitizing kitchen was about 3 month process total and gone because once you start you'll have to preclean each time as its alot better to wipe down then pressure washing again!!!. I went back and started the process step by step. Hope this helps..1st clean declutter fix leaks and seal molding cracks etc..2nd Spray outside the perimeter then spray inside wear PPE no humans nor animals in home for at least a couple hours until it dries. 3rd put sticky pads down. I put 3 at fridge a couple on counters different areas of the floors in kitchen, you will see the rapture coming. 4th recleaned refrigerator because they cling to it and the nymphs will get inside freezer and fridge so clean and clean and underneath be careful of fan and components I did this because he couldn't afford a new fridge, if you can buy new great clean and kill all before buying new trust me...After floor dried under fridge then dust the diatomaceous earth lightly but cover the whole area under fridge a little goes a long ways then I took a small broom and made sweeping Mark's so it was even you only want them to walk over it not through a snow storm just needs to get on the legs... I will stress pull plate off front bottom of fridge as the nymph sacs will be stuck everywhere and they are very small crush them when you find them. Spot check when cleaning everywhere to rid of the sacs. They multiply like by the 1000s...AND TAKE TRASH OUT everyday if possible no food no crumbs stay clean wipe up!!..After dusting over head cabinets under stove and fridge behind wall outlets I also treated areas in bedrooms under beds and behind dressers lightly because the dust will make a cloud but will clear wash bedding!!! Wipe off dressers and tables etc it's safe but clean dont get treated areas wet because it wont work...Put down new sticky pads after this process to keep up with activity and quantity (big to nymphs).. 4th 1 week later I spot cleaned again then took combat max bait and applied small pea size dots everywhere in cabinets not where food and sanitary items are placed, you can put in around the area like corner of a cabinet door back corner of cabinet wall and hit the door hinges too! I put a smaller dot around parts of a window doors molding any open cracks and areas where pets and humans wont mess with it. Then remove old sticky pads apply new make sure to keep putting them in same areas to keep up with progress. 5th 2 weeks later I spot cleaned again removed combat bait that was visible then started process of syngenta bait basically same areas as before but move it around this will kill 3rd generation bugs!!! Then I put the gentrol disks in back of cabinet under sink one on back of fridge between stove and cabinet space them out put them behind a hutch etc hide them from the eye make sure wear PPE pop bulb and stick them up. Remove all sticky pads and put new down. Each step you take if you follow this it Works!!! I'll stress again clean and clean and clean you'll never be too clean. This process is ugly and the pads are not pretty but stay the course and if you're embarrassed dont have friends over or keep them out of the sensitive areas!! With each step and after 2 weeks of the syngenta bait down I cleaned again didnt touch any bait and put new pads down... NOTHING not a speck or spot!!! Works wonders. I didnt have help this was definitely a learning curve for me. I hate bugs but my dads 73 and old school so we children have to HELP you dont need to pay an exterminator its costly just PPE up be strong and work through it!! Keep an eye out dont remove pads leave them be because you wanna keep seeing the progress and no new tracks. 3 months replace gentrol disks clean and reapply syngenta bait in different areas and spray the perimeter again outside with talspar or compare and save whatever works for you to keep maintenance going that's the trick to staying clean!! Then every 3 months treat again. You can take up pads if there no presence of crawlers. I tore a couple pads into 4 small pieces and hid them from sight just to keep up. Hope this helps!! Flys silverfish stink bugs spiders etc. this process works for all!!! Make sure change out the gentrol because this keeps them from reproducing its birth control males /females and females cant have nymphs and you'll find deformed bugs their wings will be split and dried up bugs sweep everyday. Follow steps clean and clean fix leaks seal cracks and its party time and you'll be finished before that next dinner with family!!!! Good luck Syngenta is the bomb but keep then gentrol point source going along with it every 3 months because this is birth control!!!
