Zoecon Gentrol Point Source IGR ZOE1007

This one works! But it is pricey. I’ve been using it for sometime ever since I had an infestation from my neighbor’s house. It is the same one the exterminator used and it worked. It’s not magic and it doesn’t work overnight; it takes several applications and then you have to continue maintenance. But it has been a blessing to solve the problem. I still put new ones out every couple months and I do have an exterminator also, but even with him alone, it took well over a year and didn’t fully solve the problem until I bought these. I do recommend I’m highly to anyone who’s got a problem. In my case by Neighbors refused to hire an exterminator, so I had to battle this by myself in a row home of many houses.

Use these at my mom's house in FL where those nasty palmetto bugs like to invade. These actually really worked. If I ever do see a bug it's usually belly up and dead. No more heebie jeebies!

As someone who has tried numerous pest control solutions over the years, Zoecon Gentrol Point Source has quickly become a staple in my household. It may not deliver that dramatic “instant kill” effect like sprays or traps, but what it does offer is something far more valuable—sustainable, long-term control by targeting the root of the problem: the breeding cycle. What I Like: • Silent But Effective: These point sources are discreet, with no odor, no mess, and no dangerous chemicals floating in the air. Once placed, you can forget about them—but the roaches won’t. • Breaks the Reproductive Cycle: That’s the real genius of this product. It contains an insect growth regulator (IGR) that essentially sterilizes roaches, preventing them from reaching adulthood or reproducing. Over time, this drastically reduces the population. • Easy to Use: No mixing or spraying. Just squeeze the activator to release the IGR, peel and place where it's needed. I’ve used them in kitchen cabinets, under sinks, and behind appliances. Best results have came from putting one on the wall above our dog food & water bowls, which are notoriously heavy traffic areas. They stay in place and don’t interfere with daily life. • Results Over Time: Within a few weeks, I noticed a sharp decline in sightings. After two months, I rarely see a roach—if ever. I now use these proactively every 3-4 months to maintain a pest-free environment. Pro Tips: • Combine with bait stations or gel if you want immediate results while Gentrol works in the background. • Don’t expect instant gratification—this is about long-term control, not overnight annihilation. • Label the placement dates. Each disk lasts about 90 days, so it helps to keep track. Final Thoughts: Zoecon Gentrol Point Source is a professional-grade tool that works quietly but effectively. It’s perfect for anyone serious about long-term roach control and looking for a non-intrusive way to manage pests without harsh chemicals. Highly recommended for households with kids, pets, or anyone looking to avoid repeated chemical treatments.

I used the Zoecon Gentrol Point Source as part of a broader pest control approach rather than a standalone solution. This product is an insect growth regulator (IGR), so it doesn’t kill roaches instantly—it instead disrupts their life cycle so they can’t reproduce. After placing the stations in key areas like under sinks, behind appliances, and in cabinets, I still saw occasional adult activity early on, but over a few weeks the overall population clearly declined. This is best viewed as a long-term population control tool, not an instant kill product. It works best when paired with bait or contact insecticides. Pros: ● Strong long-term population control ● Easy placement ● Works well in combination systems Cons: ● No immediate kill effect ● Requires patience

Awesome awesome stuff

I have purchased these 33 times. The stuff seems to work great. No bugs. However, the last batch had two problems. I hope they still work fine, but... The ampule that you break to release the ingredient used to be breakable by hand. This time I needed a little hammer. Also the little adhesive squares now often fail and the thing falls down. About a third of them have failed. Still feels sticky but doesn't hold. I hope this is a one time drop in quality for whatever reason. If my next order has the same issues it will be my last.

I've lived in a couple of NYC buildings where god only knows what the neighbors are doing, but have had some times in years past when the cockroaches started to creep into my own apartment. I'd tried various remedies from diatomaceous earth to common name brand traps, gel etc. which only slowly or partially worked - along with a lot of time and EFFORT. After many years like this I stumbled across this Gentrol which I'd never heard of before and gave it a try. Within a week, the cockroach problem was eradicated. Once or twice I had to place more of the discs in the kitchen and bathroom after their effectiveness wore off and I started to see a cockroach or two return, but now it's been many years and I have not had to place anymore of the discs. I suspect that the source neighbors must have moved out or learned to remedy their slovenly habits. Gentrol is 1000 times easier and more effective than all other methods, when I think of how much time and effort the other brands and methods take, and how poorly they work compared to Gentrol, on top of the fact that Gentrol is so much lesser known, I just marvel that it hasn't completely taken over the market and put the others out of business.

It is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to both snap these and tell if they are snapped. I was unable to do it myself. We had to use the corner of the wall to even do it to supposedly activate it. As best I can tell the box we got is either completely dried out or we didn't activate them correctly. We've placed them in closets, under cupboards, etc. in heavily trafficked areas roaches are already going for bait. It's been a month and we've seen no crackled wings or evidence in reproduction being slowed down (still seeing adults and finding eggs). I will not be purchasing this again and do not recommend it for heavy inevestations (we're in an apartment). It's now a month later and I'm purchasing a different IGR product to fight. Upset my money was wasted.
