Tools Needed
Optigard Cockroach Gel Bait is ready to use bait and does not require any tools, however, we do recommend that you use gloves to protect your skin when applying this product.
How to Use
- Step 1: Clean and sanitize areas being treated using water and mild soap. Household cleaners or detergents will deter roaches from consuming the bait.
- Step 2: Remove the cap from the bait applicator.
- Step 3: Place pea-sized dots every 3 feet of the area being treated.
- Step 4: Leave the bait to do its job. You want the cockroaches to feed on the bait so that they can return to the nest and infect as many possible.
Where to Use
Optigard Cockroach Gel Bait can be used in homes, schools, hospitals, commercial kitchens, hotels, and any indoor or outdoor area where cockroach activity has been observed. It can be applied in the four corners of cabinets, drawers, cracks, and crevices around baseboards and countertops, where most of the activity is seen. Do not place where food is prepared or where dishes and utensils can touch it. Apex Cockroach Gel Bait can also be placed behind wall sockets and in wall voids by plumbing pipes.
When to Use
Optigard Cockroach Gel Bait can be used as often as needed when cockroaches or cockroach activity has been spotted. Apex is recommended for active infestations, not preventative control. Apex bait placements are effective up until dry. It is recommended to check the bait placements every 14 days to be cleaned if dry and reapplied.
Safety Information
Optigard Cockroach Gel Bait is safe for pets and humans as long as it is applied as directed. Apply bait in places where pets and children cannot reach.
Special Considerations
Place a higher number of dots when infestations are heavy and/or when roaches are living primarily in wall voids or other inaccessible areas. Numerous small dots work more effectively than a few large dots.
