⚙️ How It Works
Advion is the industry-leading cockroach control product used by professional PCOs. The indoxacarb is a pro-insecticide metabolized by cockroaches into the toxic form — creating secondary kill when roaches consume dead companions.
⚗️ Mixing & Application
Advion Cockroach Gel: match-head size placements every 10–12 inches in harborage — cabinet hinges, under appliances, at pipe entries. Rotate with Maxforce FC (fipronil bait) for resistance management.

⚠️ Safety

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is indoxacarb safe for pets?
Follow the product label. Keep pets out of treated areas until completely dried (2–4 hours for sprays). Once dry, treated surfaces pose minimal risk to dogs and cats.
Q: Can I use indoxacarb indoors?
Yes — Indoxacarb is commonly used indoors in bait and dust formulations. Apply in cracks, crevices, and voids away from food surfaces.
Q: How long does indoxacarb last after application?
Residual varies by formulation, surface type, weather, and UV exposure. Indoor applications last longer than outdoor. Check the product label for re-application intervals.
Q: What should I do if exposed?
Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin with soap and water. For eye contact, rinse 15–20 minutes. For ingestion or severe symptoms, call Poison Control (1-800-222-1222). Have the product label available.
