Advion Cockroach Bait Arena, 12ct Bag, Effective Bait in A Small Plastic Arena for Easy Placement, Indoor and Outdoor Use, for Control of Most Major Cockroach Species (4)

I'm subletting an apartment in NYC, I was told I might see a bug every once in a while, but "every once in a while" and "a bug" turned out to be everyday and four to five roaches. Needless to say, I was very disappointed/freaked out. This is also my first time encountering brown banded roaches--I previously lived in SoCal and Texas where waterbugs are more common. In addition to the brown banded, I did see one or two German cockroaches at one point, at which point I decided to wage the most aggressive and swift war on these pests as possible.I bought the black jack roach stations and borax powder first because that's what was available at the supermarket--I'm guessing only the german roaches went for those stations because the brown banded ones completely ignored it, but for some reason were emboldened enough to come out during the day as well as at night. I literally started throwing borax at them to make sure they got into it. Although I know it takes time, I wanted something swifter. So, I went online and found Advion, which arrived yesterday. Put them out last night and also sprayed some Raid home defense in all the cracks and windows and doorways to try to stop anymore from entering. I only saw three roaches today, beelined for a bait arena, the other I squished...mind you I was seeing four or more during the day, scurrying on the counters, around the refrigerator (I even saw one INSIDE the fridge, yuck!!) and emerging from the oven if I turned on an eye. I also just went into the kitchen this evening, when normally I'd see the most activity, turned on the lights and saw none.I know I could be jumping the gun since it has only been a day, but I'd say Advion, plus the borax and maybe the home defense (I say maybe because when I put the Advion arenas out, the roaches walked right through where I had just sprayed to get to the bait) definitely works. Also I bought Gentrol IGRs to, hopefully, put the final nail in the coffin. I would highly recommend these arenas plus borax if you're battling roaches!

I usually dont leave reviews but I am so amazed with this product I had too. This product is truly amazing! Lets start with I live in an old apartment building so I've had roach problems from the beginning. I've tried bug bombs those combat syringes and nothing worked a few will die but honestly they were breeding faster than I could kill them. I havent used my cabinets in over a year my pots,pans,snacks and everything in my kitchen are in plastic bins and even with that I've still had to throw out food. I even tried not cooking for 6months to see if they would disappear and nothing. I've talked to neighbors and they were having the same problems. I also talked to a local pest control and even with their spot treatments they couldn't guarantee it since the whole building is so old and others are having problems too. They suggested to tent the building and trust me I've thought about paying for it because I couldn't stand it already. I was skeptical about paying almost $50 for a product especially since I've tried so much others with no luck but I've wasted more than $50 worth of food at this point why not. I Received it Wednesday put 5 traps in the kitchen late afternoon and by the morning there was already a nice amount dead(at least 20) and about the same amount dying. I was shocked but figured I'd not get my hopes up just in case that's the end of it. I was gone thursday,Friday and just got home sat night turned on my kitchen light and I was speechless. There were so many dead in the kitchen that my floor looked like polkadots. No joke there were huge amounts on the floor even the tiny fresh babies were dead usually I feel they're immune to everything but not this. I also noticed that there were a few widow spiders in there too I didnt even know that I had widow spiders. I'm truly so thankful for this product I feel like its saving my life and sanity!!!

Roach Control Advion Roach Bait Stations 60 stations 765166I have lived in my NYC apartment for many years and encountered a stray roach here and there, which is the downside of a dense living environment. The problem always goes away, no pun intended. However, this time the problem grew quickly and geometrically, and I find myself with a population of them in the kitchen. I don't even cook! I have pets so I tried the non-toxic solutions to no avail. The situation was worsening. Desperate, I was to the point of sealing off the area and contemplating gas bombing the kitchen as a last resort. Then, I saw this product and was seriously skeptical of its efficacy but purchased this to try. I used plastic gloves to lay down the traps, which look like Combat, because there is a clear warning on the bag that the item is toxic. In less than 1 minute, the roaches were emerging and gorging on the bait. I could not believe it. Holy crap! This WORKS! I am on Day 3 and it is like Armageddon occurred. There are dead roaches everywhere. Please note that on the second day a lot of roaches will emerge, which makes you think the bait is not working. It is totally working because they are emerging from their hiding places. I am going to put some bait on the top of kitchen cabinets, on the counters, inside the kitchen cabinets, and stick them on the wall with double-stick tape because I noticed that the roaches travel across all surfaces at all angles. Don't forget the bathroom because they will seek water. Also, I am using food grade diatomaceous earth to dry the roaches out. I just purchased the gel tube version and will share my results with you. With this product, I feel very confident that I will eradicate this problem-- not just control it. Thank you, thank you, thank you Advion for creating such a great product. I am sharing this experience with everyone I know.

Everyone these thing are awesome..you need to get it.
