I just signed a one year lease for an apartment in a six unit building. I'm devastated because the roach infestation is like nothing I've ever seen before. I see upwards of 100 roaches a day throughout the five rooms. The landlord sprayed something that was utterly ineffective as are the variety of products I have bought myself. My sister used Advion in the past and highly recommends it for me. My concern is that without the other units using Advion, will my using it prevent the rest of the building's roaches from entering my treated unit?
We would recommend that you dust the voids with Cimexa Dust using a dust applicator. Advion Roach bait is a great bait but with the amount of roaches that you currently are noticing, I would suggest using Maxforce FC Magnum (every couple of weeks-cleaning up previous bait placements) for a few months then switch to Advion after for another 3 months (replaceing every couple of weeks). I am not sure what and when the apartment was sprayed with so you may want to find out if you can if you plan to spray your apartment in the future. I can help you select a spray that will be effective for your needs and let you know when to treat based on the last application applied by the professional. Incorporating an insect growth regulator would be suggested also such as Gentrol Point Source Stations to impede their life cycle. You will want to keep the moisture sources down as much as possible inside of your unit and store food in airtight containers. You will want to clean out all large and small appliances also. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article/videos on How to Get Rid of Roaches for inoformation on how to inplement a successful eradication program.
