Gentrol IGR Aerosol ZOE1005 16 oz, 1,200 sq ft Treatment - with USA Supply Gloves and Pest Identification Card - Disrupts Development of Cockroaches and Bed Bugs

Used along cabinetry cracks, behind refrigerator, and in their hotspots. Very effective. Doesn't kill them immediately but it sure confuses them and definitely alters their body plan by destroying the wings of the adults. For those who don't know this is essentially birth control for roaches. This in combination with a plan that involves sealing passageways, removing food and water sources, applying insecticides like Alpine WSG, and just generally keeping a clean home, will solve your problem. Get yourself some on contact kill solution like Raid, attack the nests, clean up the dead bodies, and apply the Gentrol. You want to physically remove as many as possible before you apply pesticides. If you rent your landlord probably doesnt want to pay for real pest control. If you go to them your subject to home inspections and to them blaming you for what is likely a structural problem they dont want to pay to fix. If you're not ready to move or fight your way out of a lease, then you can do it yourself with the same stuff the pros use. And no, treating the problem rarely makes it worse. You're going to be driving the roaches out of hiding which may make it seem worse. The worst thing you can do is ignore the problem. I know its gross. But glove up and dive in because it doesnt get better by ignoring it!! Do your reasearch and always follow the label. One can is enough for I think 1200 or 1600 sq ft.Ps if you have an old refrigerator that you cant afford to replace, buy some 200 mesh (or .5mm) and seal the exposed parts off AFTER you have largely exterminated the problem. Stick traps are your friend. So is boric acid. Boric acid shouldnt make other treatments less effective so long as you wait for treatments to dry before adding new ones. Basically dont throw acid powder onto wet gentrol.

So I’m not sure what kind of roaches are in my house but after other products I purchased this and advion bait traps and noticed a huge reduction in the amount of roaches I see. It does not instantly kill them nor does it advertise that it does but as the roaches travel through the area sprayed it slowly begins killing them. I find them randomly struggling to crawl or dead and it’s to the point now that all I see is babies. It’s been a month since I sprayed and this is everything I’ve observed. Price is reasonable and the spray straw makes it perfect and easy to use. Ordering my second can after this review to knock the babies out.

Works

Kills

I know someone whose house was infested with roaches.He sprayed the house like every other day and there are no signs of roaches.He sprays monthly just for maintenance.

Does the job!

Haven’t seen one of these roach suckers babies since spraying this !

Horrible! Don’t buy it! The foam wouldn’t even spray out! It was completely broken
