I.e., Will the gentrol decrease the effectiveness of the glue traps if it is in close proximity to the traps? About a week ago, I found a long forgotten book bag on the floor of a carpeted room (a spare room used primarily for storage). When I picked it up, I saw maybe 50 juvenile roaches on the bag and several more inside it and in the carpet where it had lain. I sprayed everything with raid, took the bag to the dumpster, sprayed again and then vacuumed. Since then, I've seen 3 juveniles in that room. So now, I'm trying to make sure I have this problem nipped in the bud. I'd be grateful for your advice.
Gentrol Aerosol IGR can be used in conjunction with glueboards, as these are only designed to catch insects while Gentrol prevents young from maturing into reproducing adults. Gentrol is directed to cracks and crevices around the room, traps are laid where you notice activity and are better more for monitoring than eliminating an infestation. We would recommend one of our roach control kits. You can see the kits by clicking on the link here. We also have a great article for eliminating them here.
