I wish everyone who has had a cockroach problem would read this review and buy this. I recently had a huge cockroach problem and had to call in cockroach control to remove them. I spent SO much time moving everything in my cabinets and cleaning/throwing away each bag/container. They came in and sprayed my whole place up twice, and guess what, THERE WERE STILL COCKROACHES.

A friend recommened me this after doing some reading online and decided to get it. I, myself, decided to put it our on cardboard pieces in corners, countertops, or dark places and it worked like a charm. Within a week, all of the roaches either died, or were super weak when running way. It works buy poisoning their poop and them traveling back to their colony where they eat on eachother's poop to survive, thus poisoning all of them. One tube was enought for me and I did a second application a month later just in case and there hjas not been a cockroach in sight. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME AND BUY THIS. I cannot say this enough.

Pros
-easy to use
-no smell
-quick results
-great value
-killed every cockroach

Cons
-leaves residue (just apply on paper or cardboard and throw out later)

I use this product last year and it completely killed all the roaches in my home and kept them out for a year but then when I went to use it again when he started to return, it seemed as though it didn't work I don't know if the roaches are familiar with the product now, but it just didn't work the same

We've tried just about every spray, bug-bomb and trap that could be found in the "Garden Center" sections of the hardware stores to get rid of the cockroaches in the storage areas where we keep the animal feed in the garage and shed and not a single one worked"¦not one, not even a little bit. We tried moving the feed out and then bombing the building"¦.by the case, we tried traps by every manufacturer out there and cans or bottles of spray of every type and nothing worked at all. In fact, some of them seemed to energize the little critters even more.

Finally we decided to try these and squeezed some of it along each of the walls and in each of the cabinets and within 24 hours they were reduced to almost zero! After just a few days there were no bugs to be found at all! We re-applied again after two weeks and now we have no more bugs"¦none. We plan to re-apply again once a month or so and at this point there is no doubt that the little menaces are gone for good.

Yes, it dries out after a few days but it's easily cleaned up. Also it takes a very small amount to do the trick so don't think you'll have to be purchasing this all the time. 4 tubes lasts us quite a while and we use it throughout a 1700 sq.ft. building with lots of nooks and cranny's and cabinets. Just squeeze a thin strip of it along the baseboards or cabinets about 2 inches long at most, sporadically throughout where you want to control the bugs"¦and done. Whatever it has in it seems to attract them very quickly as well. Also, for the pet owners, we researched the ingredients and it seems to be harmless to cats and dogs"¦which I can attest to as one of the cats apparently thought it smelled good too and ate some and had zero side effects. (We now put this gel in places the animals can't get into just in case.)

Stop wasting money on the "cheap" sprays and traps that do nothing and spend a little up front for something that really does what it's supposed to do. This stuff is highly effective and works extremely fast. Well worth it!

Has an odor once you first put the product down. But after a little bit (hour or so or less) the odor fades. The narrow applicator helps with placing the product in small and tight places. I like that. I have animals so being able to place it into smaller cracks etc, gives me peace of mind. The product last for a long time wherever you place it. It actually darkens in color and eventually fades. So I just put more down when I see that. It def helps with keeping the creepy crawlers away. I had a neighbor move in upstairs and they brought some Disgusting friends with them. The product helps me not see them. It keeps them away.
Just make sure to place more down once you see it turning a darker brown to keep them away. You can't just put it down once for months and think it will continue to work, it does not. So I like to replace once a month or a little over a month. Very good product

My father's home got infested after letting a friend use his washer because she had problems and toted a creepy crawler in.beware of others things you never know..ugh I worked my A off getting the job done. With 3 months of cleaning refrigerator stove microwaves and all nooks and crannies treating first with talspar spray outside and inside before my clean everywhere in conjunction after clean with diatomaceous earth applied under stove and refrigerator worked freaking wonders a little goes along ways and with sticky pads combat bait 1 syringe, first then went back with 1 syringe syngenta bait, along with gentrol point source. I used a bulb and removed all outlets and put the diatomaceous earth in all of them in kitchen that's where markings were as I was cleaning a small puff is all you need wear a mask!! I scrubbed everything down and that is key plug holes and fix water leaks. I started a small area at a time and cleaned with decluttering. I did put sticky pads down first after 1st spray and it was party time with a stomping match....!! After completely cleaning/sanitizing kitchen was about 3 month process total and gone because once you start you'll have to preclean each time as its alot better to wipe down then pressure washing again!!!. I went back and started the process step by step. Hope this helps..1st clean declutter fix leaks and seal molding cracks etc..2nd Spray outside the perimeter then spray inside wear PPE no humans nor animals in home for at least a couple hours until it dries. 3rd put sticky pads down. I put 3 at fridge a couple on counters different areas of the floors in kitchen, you will see the rapture coming. 4th recleaned refrigerator because they cling to it and the nymphs will get inside freezer and fridge so clean and clean and underneath be careful of fan and components I did this because he couldn't afford a new fridge, if you can buy new great clean and kill all before buying new trust me...After floor dried under fridge then dust the diatomaceous earth lightly but cover the whole area under fridge a little goes a long ways then I took a small broom and made sweeping Mark's so it was even you only want them to walk over it not through a snow storm just needs to get on the legs... I will stress pull plate off front bottom of fridge as the nymph sacs will be stuck everywhere and they are very small crush them when you find them. Spot check when cleaning everywhere to rid of the sacs. They multiply like by the 1000s...AND TAKE TRASH OUT everyday if possible no food no crumbs stay clean wipe up!!..After dusting over head cabinets under stove and fridge behind wall outlets I also treated areas in bedrooms under beds and behind dressers lightly because the dust will make a cloud but will clear wash bedding!!! Wipe off dressers and tables etc it's safe but clean dont get treated areas wet because it wont work...Put down new sticky pads after this process to keep up with activity and quantity (big to nymphs).. 4th 1 week later I spot cleaned again then took combat max bait and applied small pea size dots everywhere in cabinets not where food and sanitary items are placed, you can put in around the area like corner of a cabinet door back corner of cabinet wall and hit the door hinges too! I put a smaller dot around parts of a window doors molding any open cracks and areas where pets and humans wont mess with it. Then remove old sticky pads apply new make sure to keep putting them in same areas to keep up with progress. 5th 2 weeks later I spot cleaned again removed combat bait that was visible then started process of syngenta bait basically same areas as before but move it around this will kill 3rd generation bugs!!! Then I put the gentrol disks in back of cabinet under sink one on back of fridge between stove and cabinet space them out put them behind a hutch etc hide them from the eye make sure wear PPE pop bulb and stick them up. Remove all sticky pads and put new down. Each step you take if you follow this it Works!!! I'll stress again clean and clean and clean you'll never be too clean. This process is ugly and the pads are not pretty but stay the course and if you're embarrassed dont have friends over or keep them out of the sensitive areas!! With each step and after 2 weeks of the syngenta bait down I cleaned again didnt touch any bait and put new pads down... NOTHING not a speck or spot!!! Works wonders. I didnt have help this was definitely a learning curve for me. I hate bugs but my dads 73 and old school so we children have to HELP you dont need to pay an exterminator its costly just PPE up be strong and work through it!! Keep an eye out dont remove pads leave them be because you wanna keep seeing the progress and no new tracks. 3 months replace gentrol disks clean and reapply syngenta bait in different areas and spray the perimeter again outside with talspar or compare and save whatever works for you to keep maintenance going that's the trick to staying clean!! Then every 3 months treat again. You can take up pads if there no presence of crawlers. I tore a couple pads into 4 small pieces and hid them from sight just to keep up. Hope this helps!! Flys silverfish stink bugs spiders etc. this process works for all!!! Make sure change out the gentrol because this keeps them from reproducing its birth control males /females and females cant have nymphs and you'll find deformed bugs their wings will be split and dried up bugs sweep everyday. Follow steps clean and clean fix leaks seal cracks and its party time and you'll be finished before that next dinner with family!!!! Good luck Syngenta is the bomb but keep then gentrol point source going along with it every 3 months because this is birth control!!!
