Used this as directed by placing small dots around & under appliances and benches. After a week a come out to my kitchen and turn light on only to find these criters running around my floor, the same one's every night. Date on box is 09/2022 so very old stock. Tried a second application but still no dead roaches anywhere. Been using cheap fly spray to keep them at bay, not happy, they hype doesn't justify the price. Show details

Highly toxic but not may not be as attractive and effective as other baits – Contains 10 times more Fipronil than Bayer Magnum FC. Weight for weight it works out the same price as the Bayer Magnum FC But if Fipronil is regarded as the magic ingredient it theoretically is 10 times cheaper to buy Roach Kill than Magnum FC. But the bait seems less attractive to my little friends than Magnum FC which contains special… Read more

attractants. When Magnum FC is applied they cant get enough of it - disappears in hours. Maybe if I mixed the Roach Kill bait with Peanut Butter it might make it more attractive? Its important to consider other factors in the make up of the bait - there is no point in having a stronger bait if they wont eat it . At this stage I cant really tell if this bait is better than Magnum FC. But I can say that Magnum FC had an almost instant impact on the cockies with activity definitely reduced by 70% plus as claimed within 24hrs. One 33g tube of magnum FC is supposed to be able to treat a 130sqm area. But I applied it to a 70sqm area and although it was very effective I needed to follow up with another 33gm tube of magnum FC and there were still many Cockies still around - especially the really tiny ones. So that's why I tried 2 tubes of Roach Kil product for a final assault. I also sealed up the gaps around pipes with Bostik expanding foam ( $10.50 at Bunnings) ( use nail polish remover /acetone to clean up the applicator) that went into the common ducts so maybe that might stop cockies coming into the apartment from other grotty apartments.

Excellent results – Saw some cockroaches scurrying out of the kitchen and used this bait. Have found dead cockroaches all over the place, the problem must have been worse that I originally thought. 7 days later, problem 100% fixed, amazing stuff - highly recommended. Show details

Unbeliveable – So we had german roaches in our kitchen and it was getting bad. On a night they would scutle out and cover the surfaces, eating crumbs and leaving poo everywhere. I tried bug bombs and bug spray and nothing was getting rid of them. The bombs felt like they actually encouraged the roaches to come out of their hiding spots. I instead decided to try… Read more

this gel. The best results are after thoroughly cleaning the kitchen, inside and out. I bought 2 tubes and put a dab in all the hiding spots I saw the roaches. Day 1 and there were lots of sick looking roaches. After a week, we would see one or two. I just saw one now, 3 weeks after the bait was put in, and it fell straight over and died as soon as i moved it. Basically, this stuff is amazing if you read up on how to use it and what it is. I will be buying more to top up the baits in a few months time!

Very happy with result – I read the reviews on this site and decided to purchase this product. I took it to my house in Vanuatu where I applied it and it was fantastic. I cut up a plastic take-away containers and put a dot on each piece of the plastic which I then placed in lots of places - about 25 all up. Very happy to see lots of dead cockroaches after the second… Read more

night. I re-used the plastic pieces a few times and then removed them to the bin once I was satisfied the job had been done. Very happy.

Brilliant product if used creatively – My neighbours cook outside, unfortunately many of the roaches that feed on their scraps end up in my yard and inside my house. I followed the instructions and placed a dot in each corner and in dark spaces. The first week I noticed a lot of roaches on their backs dying, the following week I had a huge reduction and seldom see any of them indoors … Read more

It didn't work so well outdoors due to rain/wind, but then I realised that you could carefully sneak up to the roaches in near darkness, and place a drop on their backs before they realize and scuttle away. The cockroaches eventually meet up with their friends, who seem to actively chase them for the gel on their backs

I did this for a couple of evenings, tagging about 30 roaches in total. I found a huge number dead or dying over the next week, and the overall number dropped drastically... I didn't expect this outcome but am really pleased with the result.

Mixed reviews from me – I'm not really sure about how I feel about this product. I bought this to use it on our storage facility last week. After a couple of days after applying it on the corners, wall cracks, shelves, etc, I started seeing a handful of dead roaches. However, after about a week, I can still see a number of them crawling all over the place. I guess what… Read more

I'm trying to say is although some of the roaches died, the gel doesn't seem to be really effective since. But, I'm still planning on using the gel and I'll be applying generously this time. Hopefully, it will get the job done.

Unbelievable! – We’ve had a severe infestation of German cockroaches for several years. We’d spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on bombs and professional pest control, but none of them worked. My wife kept telling me to try the gel bait for $7.99 and for months and months I refused. I was like how can something so cheap be so effective?? Finally she won and I… Read more

broke down and bought a few. I put dots in the corners of cabinets and along windows and door frames... I’ll be damned if we’ve been been cockroach free for over a year now! Totally insane!!! I have two syringes full and will occasionally reapply a dot here and there. I’d say within a week or two they were all gone. They would eat it and then go back to their nest and then die, and because they’re cannibals that’s how the poison would spread. I would give this product 1,000 stars if I could! I can’t even tell you how’s it’s changed our lives. We never had visitors because of how embarrassed I was of the infestation, but now we are constantly bbqing with friends and family!

Lived up to my expectations – Out of desperation I handed over my $7.00 but wasn't full of expectations and rightly so, it never worked.. It's a little harder to obtain but I will be sticking to Boric Acid in future...

This works – I started using the Gel recently and didn't think it had really been too effective until I saw the roaches eating it and a day or two later I saw bodies piling up. Time to get the vacuum out :-) This product WORKS. The key is PATIENCE. Its not an instant fix like the foggers are, but the advantage here is they live long enough to take it… Read more

back to their nest where they die. German roaches in particular are cannibals, so they will then ingest their mate, ingesting the poison too which also kills the nest, babies and all.

The thing to remember is that you will not remove them all within a matter of days. It will take weeks or even months to remove the infestation entirely. You need to use a variety of different products including this one for maximum effect.

You are at war with a pest, so have some patience and soon you will see results.

Dont waste your money – Flat out does not work. I used about half in the kitchen, no difference, baits not touched. Caught a roach and put it in a container with some on the side so its less likely to stan on it but can easily reach up to eat it. 3 days later it was still alive.

Takes some patience, but it works – Have been battling a Roach infestation for 3 months with foggers and bombs ( 20+ unit complex). Tired of the smell and cost, bought two tubes of the gel bait. Within two days of application, I had a bunch of dead roaches to sweep. Over the course of the week, number of live ones seen running around next to zero. Three weeks and a deep clean… Read more

later, not a roach to be found.

On top of being fastidious in removing all roach food sources, highly recommend the gel

Really works! – We have had a bad cockroach infestation for years - embarrassing, annoying and dirty roaches everywhere. I've tried sprays, bombs, herbal and "natural" remedies but nothing worked. This gel is brilliant. You only get a small amount but it doesn't smell, can be put in hard to reach spots and is not noticeable once its there. And it works, I've… Read more

been sweeping up dead cockies for days. I've gone back for more because I might actually break the suckers with this stuff!

Roach Kill Cockroach Gel Bait – Here's a little trick you might find useful. Next time you see a German Roach running around on your Bench-Top, squeeze a drop onto the back of the little critter - won't kill him (her?) straight away and he'll go back to the nest and share amongst his mates. Very effective product. Huge advantages over bombing and spraying of harmful… Read more

chemicals - after all - the collateral damage to us humans as a side effect is not a good outcome.

Very disappointed my local woollies now longer stocking.

Certainly works – We have had great results with this product It attracts and kills in quick time. Overall very effective.The down sides are the cost and small volume in the syringe. Also our local Woolworths has stopped stocking it.

How the costs is justified – The Rouch Gel s similar to the product DuPont used to sell in Australia but now being sold to another company who is charging the customers $7.99 for a 5ml tube ($1598 per Litre) . The company is taking advantage of its monopoly and the regulation to not allow to import from overseas. Similar product sold by Amazon at much cheaper rate as… Read more

Cockroaches exterminated - Real Deal – The Central Coast is a Cockroach haven - moist and warm. Having many & varied electrical appliances provide unlimited accommodation for these pests. Roach Kill Gel Bait is non intrusive, can be applied easily with no smell no mess and can be placed in hard to get to places. A small dab of gel placed in a variety of spots offers broad coverage.… Read more

Overnight improvement was obvious. After a week, there was a marked improvement on lack of living creatures and after 3 weeks only remnants of their existence. I have never been more impressed with such an effective product. simple to use, clean, inexpensive, reliable - long lasting.

Best method of cockroach control – Mouse bates attract cockroaches and they thrive on it and multiply,growing hugh. apply strips of roachkill on top of the bate station and it will help stop the cockroaces from eating all of the mouse bates.and reduce numbers. solid bates crumble and are spread around by vermin making them dangerous It works and non messy like solid bates which don't work.
