How to Achieve Effective Cockroach Control with Advion® Cockroach Gel

Gel baits are among the most effective products for managing cockroach infestations, as they allow you to target the majority of the population directly at the infestation sites, which are often hidden and difficult to reach.

Let’s explore why Advion® Cockroach Gel is a powerful solution for controlling cockroach infestations.

Cockroach Control Challenges

Cockroaches are well-known for their widespread presence, adaptability, and resistance. Their high reproductive rate, combined with specific biological and behavioral characteristics, makes managing infestations particularly challenging.

Advion® Cockroach Gel combines a patented, highly attractive bait matrix with a unique active ingredient, Indoxacarb, which is highly effective against the most common cockroach species, including: Blattella germanica (German cockroach), Supella longipalpa (Brown-banded cockroach), Blatta orientalis (Oriental cockroach), Periplaneta americana (American cockroach).

High Bait Palatability

Several studies have shown that Advion® Cockroach Gel is more palatable than most other gels on the market.

  • The bait remains stable, attractive, and effective for at least three months after application.
  • Its formulation is specifically designed to overcome bait aversion, a common issue in some cockroach populations.

Cascade Control Effect

Advion® Cockroach Gel achieves a horizontal transfer of the insecticide, meaning the active ingredient is passed between cockroaches within the same colony.

Here’s how it works:

  • After consuming the bait, cockroaches return to their hiding places, where they contaminate other individuals through contact.
  • This leads to a domino effect: a cockroach that feeds on Advion Gel transfers the toxic substance to others, impacting several generations within the colony.

Cockroaches exhibit coprophagy (feeding on feces), as well as feeding on secretions and the remains of deceased individuals. This behavior facilitates the horizontal transfer of Indoxacarb, ultimately eliminating the infestation.

Safety

Thanks to a unique bio-activation process, the cockroach’s internal enzymes convert Indoxacarb into its lethal form. This metabolic activation allows Indoxacarb to:

  • Effectively target pest insects while
  • Minimizing the impact on non-target organisms

This ensures that pest control professionals can manage infestations effectively while reducing environmental impact.

Due to this precise chemical process, Advion® Cockroach Gel is the only gel on the market without hazard pictograms, highlighting its excellent eco-toxicological profile.
