DuPont Advion Cockroach Bait: A product gifted by god to correct his mistake.
We are on our way to roach free home!!
Before 2nd May,2013: We were frustrated a lot with highly infested home. We stopped going to kitchen once the lights are off, we have droppings everywhere. We are helpless and all our previous attempts using chemical sprays were useless. We are afraid of move out as they may follow us to our new house!!
On May 2nd: I found this product on Amazon and stayed up to 2 AM reading all reviews. I cannot wait to order this product. I ordered on Friday morning from Amazon, paid an extra $9 to get it over night (I don't want to wait another week).Got it on 4th May. We were ready with our kitchen emptied by that time. We completed 3 tubes in our kitchen at 11 PM on 4th May. It took us 1.5 hours.
1) I got up at 2 AM to see hundreds are roaches playing tennis all over kitchen. Thinking that product did not work, I was disappointed, flared with anger on Amazon reviewers for lying with 5 star reviews for a junk product.
2)At 8 AM on 5th May: We found dead (or dying) cockroaches all over the place in kitchen. We had our first broom.
That's it, we had at least 10 brooms on that day, each time averaging 50 cockroaches.
3)At 6 AM on 6th May: We had another broom for 30-40 cockroaches
On 6th May, we had 3-4 brooms. Averaging 20-30 cockroaches every time.
On 6th May at 10 PM, I suddenly entered and turned on lights in my kitchen to see how many roaches are there. Guess what, I saw only 2 and they were already dying.
4) On 7th May, 7 AM: Droppings came down to 90%, we see 1 or 2 roaches here and there, but they are dying.
We named this operation as "Operation Hail Storm". We saw a real hailstorm in our kitchen this weekend.
I thought, "If god made cockroaches by mistake, he created this product to correct himself and gave us as a gift".
I recommend:
1. Follow the video exactly what they said. The audio is bit funny, but the instructions are priceless.
(Thanks to one Amazon reviewer who pointed to this video in his comment to one of the review)
[...]
2. Wipe out kitchen sink and dishwasher to dry them out. Don't let cockroaches have access to water. Let them struggle with thirst and die for water.We did not use our kitchen for 2 days. We made coffee at home, but washed the cups in our patio.
I don't know why we used 3 tubes just for kitchen. I read reviewers saying they used only 1 tube. May be we were more anxious and used more than required. I immediately ordered another pack and planning to finish my bathrooms and bedrooms this week end. I will update again this review with "positive" results. All I can say is: "We are on our way to a roach free home". Living in California means having a disaster kit ready. I included this product now in that kit. Thank you Amazon reviewers and thank you DUPONT!!
Update on 14th May 2013: We almost see NO cockroaches in the kitchen. We see less than 10 every morning dying or already dead on the floor. Droppings are 0%. We did not do this operation yet in our bath rooms, but there are very less cockroaches. Planning to do some time soon as I have my next packet ready.
Update on 10th June 2013: I see zero cockroaches, no droppings, and no eggs. I can say, we are now cockroach free. I have the extra packet unopened to attach them the moment I see one or two. This is amazing. I now started telling people about this product in retail stores who are buying things I bought for 2 years , which never worked.
Update on 24th August 2013: I am completely ROACH Free now!!
