Advion Roach Bait Gel could be used in a car but we would recommend only doing so inside a bait plate station. Another option is just use the Advion Roach Bait Arenas.
We recommend using a roach bait gel in most situations when you are actively finding roaches, especially in areas with lots of moisture like in a bathroom. Bait gel has more moisture than bait stations, it’s easy to apply directly into cracks and crevices, and you do not have to worry about the small size of stations that keep some roaches from entering. Using Gentrol along with a bait gel is perfect to control those smaller roaches, as well.

You can use an insecticide spray and a bait like Advion Roach Bait Gel in the same room at the same time, just not on the same surfaces. The rule of thumb is spray low (areas like baseboards, kick plates below cabinets, and under appliances) and bait high (in areas like inside cabinets and drawers and up higher near small appliances such as microwaves, toasters and coffee pots). Please take a moment to look over our Roach Control Guide for more information on treating and preventing a roach infestation.
Since you are applying a gel and not a spray, there is nothing released into the air, so there should not be any respiratory issues when applying Advion Roach Bait Gel.

Yes, when used as directed it is safe to use Advion Roach Bait Gel in areas that you would cook and eat as long as it does not contact food prep surfaces or dishes/utensils.

We do recommend that you apply the Advion Roach Bait Gel every couple of weeks (after cleaning up previous bait placements). Baiting is going to take some time. We also recommend that you apply a perimeter spray to the cracks and crevices and growth regulation as well. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article, How to Get Rid of Roaches for additional treatment tips.
You want to apply the Advion Roach Bait Gel every 2 weeks (cleaning up previous bait placements). Give it some time depending on the level of activity and how long they have been present. Baiting will take more time to transfer through the population. We also suggest applying a perimeter residual spray and an insect growth regulator (IGR) in your treatment process along with non-chemical methods. Please take a few moments to review our article and videos on How to Get Rid of Roaches.
Advion Roach Bait Gel can certainly help at the beginning of an infestation. If you are seeing a new population, then there are most likely more in the wall void areas that you are not seeing as well. We would recommend using more than one product so that you are sure that you are getting all the areas that could be affected, such as the products that come in our Roach Control Kits. These provide a bait, insecticide, and an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator). Generally, you need all three to get a roach problem not only under control, but eliminated as well. Please see our Roach Treatment Guide for more information.
When using the Advion Roach Bait Gel you could use a Bait Plate Station we sell. These are low profile and economic. The stations keep sticky gels and granular baits in a contained space that is off countertops and other surfaces, but allows access to the bait for roaches. Be sure to remove the perforated tab when using Bait Plate Stations for roach control so that larger roaches have enough space to access the bait. Keep in mind that roaches will generally accept bait best when it is applied directly to cracks and crevices, rather than in a station.
We would would recommend contacting the company that did the fogging to find out the residual of the fogger they used. Foggers generally are used as a flushing treatment and do not leave a long residual. Advion Roach Bait Gel is one of the best roach baits to use but if you have been dealing with roaches for an extended period of time, we recommend using on our Roach Control Kits. Roaches are a persistent pest and require multiple treatments using a combination of products in order to be completely eradicated. Please see our Roach Control Guide for step by step instructions on how to do a full treatment.
