So I put down the product on a Friday night. I was told to clean the kitchen and leave no food or water. I did as told. And as a result it seemed to work perfectly. I've seen dead roaches for the past few days. But it hasn't been a week and I've noticed some roaches won't eat it anymore. Mainly some of the baby ones. Is it normal? I have not been mixing any other products.
Yes, it is normal for some roaches to not go directly to a bait such as Advion Roach Bait Gel and eat it. It can often be that they are feeding on some that has been brought back to the colony already, feeding on the feces of the adults, or feeding on other dead roaches. They also could be looking for water or other materials and not currently foraging for the bait. Depending on the size of the colony, it can take at least several weeks to a month or so to eliminate the entire population. If you have used the same bait for several months, than we would recommend rotating with a different bait to prevent bait aversion. Good rotation choices would include Maxforce FC Magnum or Maxforce Impact Roach Bait Gel.
