Help from Mays Landing, Nj writes
We moved out of our heavily infested apartment two weeks ago due to management not keeping up with our dirty neighbors and following through on having a pest control service. We were extra careful moving, but apparently these suckers hitched on our wooden fish tank stand. I noticed them 4 days after the move and have been freaking out ever since. After a long bed bug process 2 years ago, I ordered Phantom aerosol and the Gentrol aerosol. I had 2 cans leftover, so I sprayed the cracks & crevices in my kitchen, as well as used dust in all the outlets. What I noticed is that about an hour after spraying, 5 big females were out on the walls by the one area I sprayed. Is this normal? I sprayed the entire kitchen area of cracks, etc, so I'm hoping this doesn't mean I'm helping them spread out.
Gentrol aerosol will not attract roaches and neither will Phantom aerosol. They are placed as residuals to cracks and crevices to impede their reproductive cycle and to eradicate those that come in contact with the treated surfaces. Dusting the voids in the apartment is a great idea. We would also suggest applying a professional roach bait gel (to the areas not treated with Gentrol/Phantom) such as Maxforce FC Magnum to attract them. They will consume and share the food through contact and food sharing. Please take a few moments to review our treatment article for more information on a successful eradication program on How to Get Rid of Roaches.
