Had a bad roach problem at a rental property
Had a bad roach problem at a rental property. Tried roach bombing the unit, but the roaches kept coming back within a day or so. Saw this on Amazon and after reading the reviews, I placed an order and waited anxiously for it to arrive. Product came within 2 days, thank you amazon Prime. I bombed the unit and vacuumed the home to the point where there were no more roaches in sight. Then I applied the Advion Bait. Within a minute, roaches were crawling out of every crack and crevice in the home, literally crawling over each others bodies to get a taste of this stuff. My rental unit had Pergo laminate flooring. I came back the next day to check on the progress and I found the units floor had turned into carpet. A carpet made of roach corpses. Prior to trying Advion roach gel I had an exterminator come out to give me a quote on the unit. He said the initial spray treatment would cost $200, and to effectively control the roach problem he would have to come out for monthly follow-up visits. Each visit would cost another $80. And this would go on indefinitely. No thanks. After a couple of rounds of Advion bait treatment, waiting about 3 days between applications, the unit is now ready to rent to a new tenant.
TIP: I found that applying the product in a polka dot pattern along the surfaces of the walls to be the best technique to maximize product exposure.
