Counterfeit product? Wouldn’t be the first time...
I’ve used this product (the legitimate version) previously, and it had worked wonderfully.
I set it up, and the next morning, the bait was gone. By that afternoon, I saw dead roaches around my house.
This time, I ordered this product because I started seeing roaches around my house again. Not too surprising since I tend to see them around the summertime.
I did the same thing as I did the last time, put it on a piece of card, and set them up where I see roaches (near the dog’s area, and in the kitchen).
It’s been three days, and none of the bait was eaten by the roaches. In fact I saw a roach run across my living room floor last night. Disgusting.
Don’t buy this product. There’s a good chance it’s counterfeit, and if that is the case, it’s not the first time I’ve unknowingly purchased a counterfeit product that the seller was trying to pass off as legitimate on Amazon.
Edit:
I found my last tube of the legit stuff. Now I have no doubt in my mind that this most recent purchase was counterfeit.
There is a definite color difference between the two. The legitimate one is a creamier colour, while the counterfeit is a darker yellow colour.
