We were successful using advion cockroach gel bait to get rid of German roaches in an apartment building but now there are small baby roaches and we need to know how to get rid of these small roaches.
The same Advion Roach Bait will control the little ones as they consume it. The babies are there because you now are having the next round of the colony emerge as the adults have all died out and the eggs have hatched, and the babies are coming out looking for food and water. Using an IGR (birth control for the insects) when treating for roaches is key as this stops the reproductive cycle and keeps them from molting and growing in number. Continue keeping things clean and dry and practicing good sanitation habits, use the bait gel either Advion or Maxforce as they both work equally well, and consider the use of an IGR or Insecticide or both like the Gentrol Complete which offers both in one can. Please refer to our Roach Treatment Guide for more information on treating this pest.
