Roach Control Kit #1 - Questions & Answers

We would recommend our Roach Control Kit #1.  This professional kit includes 4 x 35 gram tubes of Invict Gold Roach Bait Gel--one of the best roach baits on the market. Invict Gold Roach Bait Gel contains a slow-acting poison that attracts and kills feeding roaches, who also spread the bait to other roaches by contact or by sharing food. Plus, 20 Gentrol Point Source stations provide an IGR (Insect Growth Regulator) that will stop roaches from laying eggs, helping to halt the infestation. The combination of an IGR with roach bait is a highly effective roach control strategy that is widely used by pest control professionals.

No. Canned fogging products require a lot more space for applications and would not be an appropriate choice for treating inside a cupboard. You do have other options that would work very well. The most commonly used approach in cupboards is roach bait gel. You can use a roach bait gel like Advion and put small dots about every 12 inches directly in the cracks and crevices and around the door hinges. Gel works best in this situation because the roaches will eat the gel and return to the nesting area and spread the gel to the other roaches, eliminating many roaches instead of just the ones that came into contact with the gel. The other option would be to use an aerosol insecticide such as D-Force HPX or Cy-Kick. Both of these come with a straw attachment that you could use to get into all of the cracks and crevices. The drawback here is that you must completely empty out the cupboard for the application and only the roaches that come into contact with the treated area will die. We would also recommend using an IGR like Gentrol Point source for best results. IGRs (insect growth regulators) interrupt the life cycle of juvenile roaches and will help stop the breeding cycle while you are trying to get rid of the infestation. We have put together a roach kit that contains both the Advion and the Gentrol that will help save you a few dollars.

We think the product that may have been used was Demon WP. We think Demon WP works very well as part of a roach control program. In fact we have included Demon WP in our Roach Control Kit #2 which also includes the other products you will need to really get rid of the roaches.

You can use the Roach Control Kit#1 even if you have only seen a couple of roaches. You should limit the amount of bait you place and only put it in the rooms where you have seen activity. The Gentrol Point Source can be invaluable to a roach control program and can be used year round to control any invading roaches and stop breeding before it starts. Place one out for every 75 sq ft in your apartment.

Cyper TC is strictly for outdoor use. Most commonly used for termite treatments and ant control around the perimeter. Cyper TC is a repellent, meaning it will only kill the insects that come into contact with it, while Cyper WP leaves a residual for up to 3 months and can be used inside.  Cyper WP is a wettable powder that leaves a white powder residue behind. Can be used inside as crack and crevice treatment and outdoors as a perimeter treatment. For treating roaches indoors/outdoors, Cyper WP is the better choice.

All of our products are the same effective products that a professional company would use but without the high cost.  The effectiveness of the Roach Control Kit#1 and the results you get all depend on how well you apply the products.  Each product in the Roach Control Kit comes with full instructions that explain where and how to use it in detail.  Along with using the products, you also have to exercise a high level of cleanliness and leave no crumbs or water out at night or else the roach gel in the kit will not work.  All of the products are very safe to use around children and pets when used correctly.  We are always happy to answer any questions or address any concerns Mon-Fri at 866-581-7378.

There could be many contributing factors to the fact that the roaches are still there. That is great you are cleaning and making sure there are no other food attractants, but the roach bait gel. You want to make sure you apply the bait gel as needed, at least replacing every 30 days. For bad infestations, you want to rebait once a week. Have you treated underneath the sinks, behind toilets, behind washing machines? Please be sure that you are not spraying the Demon WP where you are baiting. Keep the DemonWP application to entry points, cracks and crevices. Lastly, it sounds like Roach Control Kit is working to eradicate the roaches. You are in the first few weeks after treating and are starting to see deformed roaches. Treating for roaches is a process and can take time.

We would recommend using our Roach Control Kit #1. It comes with bait gel and Gentrol Point Sources. The bait gel will be used in places such as between different elements of construction, between equipment and floors, openings leading into voids and hollow spaces in floors, walls, ceilings, equipment legs and bases, around plumbing pipes, doors and windows, and behind and under appliances, cabinets, sinks, closets, and any other equipment that cockroaches are typically known to hide. Do not use residual insecticides in the same areas as the gel placements.

Gentrol Point Source is a special Roach control device that contains the Gentrol Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) hydroprene for 90-day control of roaches. Activating Gentrol Point Source is as simple as squeezing the raised end of the plastic, adhesive-back device. This releases Gentrol IGR onto a filter paper. From there, it moves up to 75 square feet. That way pests never need to come in contact with the device. One to two weeks after application, you will begin to see roaches with crinkled wings, showing the initial effects of the IGR. These roaches cannot reproduce. All the benefits of an insect growth regulator in a discreet, non-spray formulation.

We would be really hesitant to recommend any product for you if your cat was negatively effected by a different product already. In your case it may be a better idea to use a pheromone baited glue traps so that the roaches can not be consumed by your cat.

We definitely think you will benefit from adding a roach bait  and and insect growth regulator to your roach control program. Our Roach Control Kit #1 contains both of the products you will need to achieve better roach control in your apartment. We also recommend trying seal as many cracks and crevices as possible around the perimeter of each room to help stop having roaches move from one apartment to another.

If you apply the gel in the manor that it directs, in small dabs along just the crevices of the cabinets, then you can replace your plates and cabinet items right afterwards. Once the roach population has been eliminated you can wipe up any remaining bait gel with water and soap on a rag.

For roaches, we would recommend our Roach Control Kit. It contains a bait gel that the roaches will eat and Gentrol Point Sources. Gentrol Point Sources are active for 90 days and inhibit the reproduction of the roaches. It is like a birth control. We would recommend using both of these. Also, we would recommend spraying Phantom Aerosol. This product should not be sprayed around where you have placed the bait gel because the roaches will not be as attracted to it. This is a crack and crevice spray. You will spray this along the baseboards and cracks and crevices. It does have a residual of 30 days. None of these products work instantly so you will possibly have to do multiple treatments. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

We would recommend the Roach Control Kit # 1. It contains Invict Bait Gel and Gentrol Point Sources. Make sure when you put the bait gel down that you are not spraying any type of insecticide over it so that it does not get contaminated. The Gentrol Point Sources are like a birth control for the roaches. It will stop them from reproducing. They last for 90 days. With a combination of both of these, the roaches should decrease. We would recommend changing out the kind of bait every 6 months so they do not become resistant to it. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

The first thing you should know is that bombs are highly ineffective when trying to control roaches of any species. Bombs will only kill while they are going off (they leave no residual behind) and contrary to popular belief, they do not penetrate into walls or inside cabinets or under furniture, so it will only kill the roaches that come out while the bomb is dispersing. If you are looking to accurately, quickly, and completely eliminate the roaches in your home you will want to follow the steps outlined in our article How To Get Rid of Roaches, and use either of our Roach Control Kitsaccordingly. The products in our kits are professional grade items (just like the pros that come out use) and are put together to help you save money and get the results you are looking for the fastest. Roach problems do not develop over night and will not go away overnight, so patience and time will be needed for the products to do their job and get to the center of the colony you don't see.
