InVict Gold Cockroach Gel – Indoor Roach Bait | Lebanon

InVict Gold Cockroach Gel is a targeted gel bait formulated to attract and eliminate cockroaches—especially the common pantry- and kitchen-infesting German cockroach. Its key features:
• Contains 2.15% imidacloprid as the active ingredient. Cockroaches begin to die within as little as 20 minutes after feeding on the bait
• Offers a “domino effect” (secondary kill) — roaches that consume the bait may transfer it to other roaches via droppings or carcasses, enhancing overall control of the infestation.
• Comes in an easy-use syringe applicator, allowing placement into cracks, crevices and other hiding spots.
Thus, it works by lure + ingestion + internal spread, making it a potent solution for indoor roach problems.

To maximise performance of the gel bait:
• Apply the gel in small spots (about ¼ inch in diameter) or in thin lines in areas where roaches frequent—e.g., behind/under appliances, along baseboards, inside cabinets, kitchens, bathrooms.
• Focus treatment around cracks and crevices, voids, and other harbourage sites where roaches hide and feed.
• Because the product is suited for sensitive locations (schools, food-plants, child-care facilities) and formulated without eight common food allergens, it’s suitable in many indoor settings where safety is important.
• Clean up any competing food debris and maintain good sanitation — bait works better when roaches are hungry and there aren’t many competing food sources. By following proper placement and preparation, you’ll get strong results from the gel bait.

Yes — when used according to the label instructions, InVict Gold is designed with safety in mind:
• The bait is included in a controlled formulation, and the product literature cites its suitability even for sensitive accounts (child-care, food-processing).
• That said, any pesticide bait has inherent hazard potential if mis-used. For homes with pets and children, place the gel in inaccessible areas (cracks, behind appliances, inside cabinets) so non-target contact is minimized.
• Always follow the label instructions for application, storage and disposal. The SDS indicates the active is a neurotoxin (imidacloprid) and so safe-handling practices matter.
In summary: yes it can be safe, but good placement and adherence to instructions are vital for maximum safety around kids and pets.

Here are the key notes regarding duration and reapplication:
• The product is noted to last up to 3 months in place depending on conditions (bait remains soft and accessible).
• Because roach populations and sites evolve, for severe infestations it's recommended to monitor and potentially rotate bait products every 3-4 months to avoid bait aversion/resistance.
• If you apply in heavy-infested areas, you may need to check more frequently, replace dried-out bait, and ensure roaches are still feeding on it (and adjust placement if not).
• Good practice: inspect the bait every few weeks; if you note reduced feeding or fresh droppings but no bait consumption, reposition or refresh the application.
Thus, the bait has a good residual period, but monitoring and periodic reapplication is necessary for sustained control.

Best suited for:
• Indoor infestations of common roach species, especially German cockroach (Blattella germanica), which the product is formulated for.
• Clean-out situations where rapid knockdown is desired (initial control), combined with secondary kill effect.
• Sensitive environments where less visible chemical presence is required (food-handling, schools) thanks to its attractant matrix and allergen-free formulation.

Limitations to be aware of:
• In extremely heavy infestations or in areas where roaches are very bait-averse or resistant, gel bait alone may not fully eliminate the population—it should be part of an integrated pest management (IPM) approach (sanitation, exclusion, other controls). The Cockroach Facts+1
• If the bait dries out, becomes contaminated or is placed incorrectly (in open areas where competing food is abundant) its effectiveness will drop. Proper placement matters.
• For species other than German cockroaches (for example, large American cockroaches), other control methods and bait formulations might be preferred.
In short: InVict Gold is a high-quality gel bait for many indoor roach problems, but for best results, it should be part of a broader strategy and used correctly.
