Avert Dry Flowable Cockroach Bait

Avert Dry Flowable Cockroach Bait, manufactured by BASF, is a cockroach bait with the active ingredient Abamectin.

This bait remains effective for over a year after initial treatment and can eliminate even the most challenging roach infestations. It can also combat bait aversion, which can often happen with conventional roach baits.

Avert Dry Flowable Cockroach Bait is suitable for baiting cracks and crevices where roaches like to travel and hide. It primarily targets German cockroach infestations.

Tools Needed

This roach bait is ready to use right out of the package, and no other tools are necessary for its application.

How to Use

• Step 1: Perform an inspection of the home to identify the main areas where cockroaches are active and harboring. Note these areas. You should also calculate the square footage of the area you wish to treat to determine how much Avert Dry Flowable Cockroach Bait you will need to apply. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For light infestations, a minimum of 4 to 6 bait points is recommended per 100 sq. ft. of area. For heavy infestations, 12 to 24 bait points are recommended per 100 sq. ft. per area.
• Step 2: Apply Avert Dry Flowable Cockroach Bait in small beads around the suspected areas, such as cracks and crevices in the kitchen, bathroom, cabinetry, and more.
• Step 3: Monitor the area for cockroach activity. Reapply as needed until you see a significant decrease in cockroach activity.

Where to Use

Avert Dry Flowable Cockroach Bait can be used in apartments, campgrounds, garages, food storage areas, homes, hospitals and nursing homes, hotels, food processing plants, resorts, restaurants, schools, supermarkets, transportation equipment, utilities, warehouses, and other commercial and industrial buildings.

Safety Information

Special Considerations

German cockroaches find Avert Dry Flowable Cockroach bait very palatable and it stays palatable for a much longer span of time than a gel bait because it is already in a powdery form. Gels also tend to get hard after some time which will make them not appealing any further to roaches.
