Advion Cockroach Gel Bait (4-Tube Pack)

In a dense, urban environment like Washington, D.C., dealing with a cockroach infestation can be a persistent and stressful battle, especially in historic rowhouses or large apartment buildings. Common store-bought sprays and traps often only kill the few roaches you happen to see, failing to address the much larger, hidden nest and leaving you in a frustrating cycle of re-infestation.

Advion Cockroach Gel Bait is the professional-grade solution that is engineered to break that cycle for good. It uses a highly attractive, non-repellent bait that roaches eagerly consume. The magic isn't in an instant kill; it's in the potent active ingredient, Indoxacarb, which allows the poisoned roach to return to its nest and spread the bait to dozens of others through contact and feces. This powerful chain reaction is what allows Advion to wipe out the entire colony, including tough, gel-bait-averse strains, providing a level of control that simple sprays can't match.

Why We Recommend It: It is widely considered the gold standard in roach control for one simple reason: it works when other products fail. By targeting the entire nest rather than just individual insects, it provides a complete and lasting solution to even the most stubborn infestations. For any greater DC area resident facing a serious roach problem, this is the most effective tool you can have in your arsenal.
