Treating for heavy roach infestation and been cleaning thoroughly, placed food in containers, and avoid leaving out sources of water. I started with Advion Roach Bait, Avert Dry Flowable Roach Bait and also used Gentrol IGR but still still roaches after 2 months. I am seeing alot less than before but still seeing about 5/day. I read that it's a good idea to switch bait/insecticides to kill the resistant roaches.
Yes, rotating roach baits is recommended when treating for actve roach infestations to prevent any bait aversion or resistance. When treating for active roaches, you want to use a combination of residual insecticide, roach bait gel and an insect growth regulator. Repeat applications should be done every 14 days consistently until you are no longer seeing roaches. The length of the treatment can vary taking weeks to months depending on the level of infestation. It is recommended to rotate roach baits after 60-90 days. Our Roach Control Kits are set up to help with a Roach Treament Rotation Program. Roach Kit A uses the FC Magnum Roach Bait as this is a cleanout bait with a great transfer effect throughout a roach colony. Please view our Roach Control Kits HERE and our Roach Treatment Guide for more information. We have a quick video on How to Apply Roach Control Kits to show how the products are applied.
