Advion Cockroach Gel

Advion® Cockroach Gel – Professional Cockroach Control You Can Apply Yourself

Advion® Cockroach Gel provides professional-grade cockroach control in a targeted, easy-to-apply gel format. Widely used by licensed pest control technicians, this advanced bait is also suitable for DIY cockroach treatment in homes, commercial premises, and hospitality environments across New Zealand and Australia.

Rather than paying for repeated pest contractor visits or relying on general hardware-store sprays that only provide short-term knockdown, Advion® Cockroach Gel allows you to apply the same formulation professionals use, precisely where cockroaches hide and breed. When applied correctly, this targeted approach delivers effective control while reducing ongoing service costs.

Key Benefits

• Professional-grade cockroach bait used by pest control technicians
• Highly attractive formulation encourages feeding and transfer within harbourages
• Effective against common cockroach species, including German cockroaches
• Discreet, low-odour application with no broad spraying required
• Suitable for residential, commercial, and food-handling environments

How Advion® Cockroach Gel Works

Advion® Cockroach Gel is designed to be consumed by foraging cockroaches and carried back into hidden harbourage areas. Through feeding and social interaction, the bait’s effect spreads beyond individual insects, helping reduce the overall cockroach population over time rather than just those visible on the surface.

Where to Apply

• Under sinks and inside cupboards
• Behind refrigerators, ovens, and dishwashers
• Along cabinet edges, wall junctions, and service penetrations
• In laundry areas and utility rooms
• Near known entry points and harbourage zones

How Much to Apply (Placement Guide)

To get the best results with Advion Cockroach Gel, apply the bait in many small spots rather than a few large amounts. Cockroaches forage and hide in cracks and crevices, so multiple placements help ensure they find and feed on the gel.

• Spot size: place small pea-sized dots (~5 mm in diameter) or tiny beads of gel where you see activity.
• General rule: aim for about 1–2 spots per m² for most infestations.
• Heavy infestations: increase to 3–5 spots per m² or more, especially in high-traffic roach areas.
• Where to place: under sinks, inside cupboards, behind and under appliances, along cabinet edges, in cracks and crevices, near entry points, and around harbourage zones.
• Check and refresh: inspect bait spots periodically. Replace gel that has been eaten, dried out, or contaminated by dust/cleaning.

Tip: Several small placements spread throughout the area are far more effective than a few large blobs. Follow the product label for safety and placement instructions, and keep bait out of reach of children and pets.

Safety & Responsible Use

Apply Advion® Cockroach Gel strictly in accordance with the product label. Place small amounts of gel in cracks, crevices, and sheltered areas where cockroaches are active. Avoid placing bait on open surfaces or in areas subject to frequent cleaning. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this suitable for DIY use?

Yes. Although Advion® Cockroach Gel is widely used by pest professionals, it is also suitable for DIY application when used as directed.

How quickly will I see results?

Activity often reduces within a few days as the bait is consumed and transferred, with continued improvement as harbourage populations are suppressed.

Is this better than spray-based treatments?

Gel baits are preferred for long-term control because they target hidden cockroaches and harbourage areas rather than providing short-term surface knockdown.

Can this be used in kitchens?

Yes. When applied correctly in targeted placements, Advion® Cockroach Gel is suitable for kitchens and other food-handling environments.
