How to Prevent and Get Rid of Roaches Using Four Effective Gel Baits

Cockroaches are one of the most common and hated pests that can infest your home. They are not only disgusting, but also harmful, as they can carry and transmit various diseases, contaminate your food, and trigger allergies and asthma. Therefore, it is important to prevent and get rid of roaches as soon as possible.

One of the most effective ways to control roaches is to use gel baits. Gel baits are formulations that contain a food attractant and a toxic ingredient that kills roaches after they eat it. Gel baits are easy to use, discreet, and long-lasting. They can also kill roaches that are resistant or averse to other insecticides.

However, not all gel baits are created equal. Some gel baits may have different active ingredients, attractants, or modes of action that make them more suitable for certain situations or types of roaches. In this blog post, we will review four of the best gel baits for roaches that you can find in our store: Syngenta Cockroach gel, Alpine Rotation 1and 2 Cockroach Gels, Maxforce Magnum, and Invict Gold.

Advion Cockroach Gel by Syngenta

Advion Cockroach gel is a high-performing product that uses a MetaActive™ effect, which targets the toughest cockroach populations. The active ingredient in this gel bait is indoxacarb, which kills roaches within hours after ingestion. The gel also has a delayed action, which allows the roaches to transfer the poison to other roaches in their nest before they die.

Advion Cockroach gel is highly attractive to both gel-bait-averse and non-gel-bait-averse cockroaches. It can be used indoors and outdoors in residential, commercial, and industrial sites. It is also labeled for use in sensitive areas such as food-handling establishments, food and feed processing plants, hospitals, and nursing homes.

To use Advion Cockroach gel, you just need to apply small dots or lines of the gel in cracks, crevices, or other places where roaches hide or feed. You can use the syringe applicator that comes with the product or a bait gun for more precise application. You should monitor the bait placements regularly and reapply as needed.

Alpine Rotation 1 and 2 Cockroach Gels by BASF

Alpine Rotation 1 and 2 Cockroach Gels are products that can help you prevent and get rid of roaches in your home. They are part of a rotation program that uses different formulations to avoid bait aversion, which is when roaches stop eating the bait because they have developed resistance or preference to it.

Alpine Rotation 1 and 2 both contain dinotefuran as the active ingredient, which is a fast-acting neonicotinoid that kills roaches by contact and ingestion.

Both products have different bait matrices that make them excellent for use in any cockroach control rotation program. They are ready-to-use formulations that can be used indoors and outdoors for controlling cockroaches. The products contain none of the top eight food allergens, making them safe for use in sensitive accounts such as food plants, schools, child care, and health care facilities.

To use Alpine Rotation 1 and 2 Cockroach Gels, you just need to apply small drops of the gel in strategic locations where roaches frequent or nest. You can use the syringe applicator or a bait gun for more accurate application. You should rotate the two formulations every six months and monitor the bait placements every few days. You should reapply the gel as necessary
