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.
Advion Roach Bait Gel is an actual food source for roaches. So if you have only seen one roach currently we would not recommend you put it out as it can attract roaches to the area. You could have brought them with you in boxes when moving. Monitor your areas, and should you see more roaches then we would recommend using the Advion at that time.
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.
Advion Roach Bait Gel? has no odor as listed on the Safety Data Sheet but should only be applied is small pea size drops as this is more attractive to roaches Place every 10-12 inches where activity is noted. Applying too much would just make the roaches less likely to eat it. There are food based attractants in the product but any possible smell would not be harmful. It would only be harmful if you were to physically ingest a large quantity of the bait. If you are experiencing a foul smell you are more than welcome to contact our office at 866-581-7378 and we will be happy to check with the manufacturer.
