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.

I'd give this product 10 stars if I could. This stuff is absolutely awesome. I was born & raised in the Pacific Northwest and never saw any type of insects, whatsoever in our homes. In fact, the first time I saw a palmetto bug was when I was in basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. It was a single bug and so large I thought it was a mouse. I have been living in Florida since 1970 and from time to time found a few German cockroachs, but was able to get rid of them. I have always had pets in my homes and leave their food out without any problems of roaches. A few years ago we bought a new home with a swimming pool with a pool deck with pavers. This last year my kitchen has been a breeding ground for roaches. I clean my kitchen everyday & night, Wipe down all counter tops, stove & sinks, never leave any dirty dishes in my sink and every dish, glasses pots, pans and silverware I put in my dishwasher look like they're already clean. I truly believe they are coming up the sink drain. We've used slevery type of insect spray, powder, and boric acid tablets and none have worked. I finally found the ADVION COCKTOACH GEL BAIT.here on Amazon, read all the reviews and decided to order it. We followed the instructions the first day it arrived. When I woke up the next morning I found over 10 dead big roaches on my kitchen counter next to my sink and found 13 dead ones on the floor! Every morning I find more nd more dead ones, big and small. This is now day 3 on one application abd keep finding more dead ones. This stuff is the real deal and ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND anyone that has a roach problem to purchase this product. Like I said earlier, I keep my house very clean and this roach problem was driving me crazy. This product beats out every other product we have used! UPDATE - This stuff is a miracle worker. One application worked for 2 weeks, plus. Just started on second application in other places in kitchen last night and woke up finding 10 more dead ones, large, medium and small. I have never complimented on any purchase I've bought on line as high as I have rated this product! THIS IS THE REAL DEAL - ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE PRODUCT.

This stuff is easy to use and the bugs are gone right away. Plenty to do a full kitchen and a bit with each tube. I haven't smelled it except right after install and it's not strong.

Works very well in my NYC apartment in keep it roach free. It killed a lot they were coming into my apartment. I applied this gel in areas inside the cabinet and within a few days a dozen were killed while cleaning up. It lasts and keeps killing. The instructions are easy to follow. It was well packaged and sealed properly. It sticks to the surface with ease.

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!!

This product works for the 1st 3wks. After 3 weeks its like they are immune to it and stop dying. They even stop eating it. Struggling to fine something that will work. Application is easy the tip is great fits in the Crack and holes along base board and ceiling very well the 1st week was thw most elimination I seen. 2nd week few more the 3rd week was slightly more I bought this for a 2nd time and it was opposite then 1st 3wks feel like I wasted my money 2nd purchase but I didn t wanna give up .

I was honestly frustrated dealing with roaches and had already tried sprays and traps that only worked temporarily. Nothing really solved the problem. I decided to try Advion gel and followed the instructions carefully, applying small amounts under the sink, behind the stove, and in hidden corners. Within a few days I noticed a major difference. I started seeing fewer and fewer roaches, and after about a week the activity was almost completely gone. What I like most is that it doesn’t just kill the ones you see. It seems to eliminate them at the source. I have kids, so I made sure to place it in hidden areas, and it worked great without any strong odor. After consistent use, I can honestly say this made a real difference in my home. If you’re struggling with roaches and feel frustrated like I was, this is definitely worth trying.

This product gets the job done!! Out of nowhere, I started seeing tiny 1 mm brown cockroaches on both sides of my kitchen counter near the stove. I pulled the stove forward to check all the cracks and gaps where they might be nesting and applied the gel bait diligently (one application). Within three weeks, they decreased significantly and then disappeared completely. I still can’t believe it. It’s easy to apply and safe for humans and pets when used as directed.
