I sprayed with Phantom II five days ago for German roaches. I also put down glue traps and put Vendetta Plus gel in my upper cabinets. I am still seeing roaches on the wall and walking along carpets. Does activity increase when you spray and gel? When should I see a reduction in them? I keep a clean house but live in an apartment building.
Phantom II Aerosol will start working immediately on the roaches that come into contact with any treated surfaces. It is not likely that you would see roach activity increase during treatment, but keep in mind that it is not a contact kill type of product, so they will not die as soon as they touch it. It will start to work on their system and they will start getting weaker and dying within a few hours of contact. The Vendetta Plus also contains a growth regulator (IGR) which will further help to control the population. However, please keep in mind that roaches are difficult to control, so it will likely take more than 5 days to see full results. Moderate roach infestations can take a few weeks to get rid of, and severe infestations can take several months even when using all of the products needed (insecticide, IGR, roach bait), and sanitation is up to par.
