Reddit reviews Gentrol Point Source IGR ZOE1007

Had the same issue, this product helped a ton! Gentrol .
It’s a growth regulator. Keeps the babies from maturing and the adults from creating more babies. Replace the discs every three months or so. Each disc covers a decent sized area (sq footage wise) with the hormone distribution. Safe to have around food and pets.

We had pest control come to our apartment but their chemicals didn’t do much. The hormone discs have worked wonders.

Two links for you:

Invict Gold. Has like four attractants in it that makes the bugs love the stuff. As soon as I put a dot of it down and in several places the roaches came out to eat up. I had to clean periodically because I had dead roaches everywhere.

Gentrol. Growth Regulator, just put it in the room and walk away. Lasts up to 3 months and if you still have any live roaches around with crinkled wings you know the Gentrol is working (crinkled wings = unable to reproduce)

The items are pricey compared to going to the story and getting the cheap bait, but this stuff has worked wonders for me.

If you're concerned about roaches then I suggest treating your home with Advion Cockroach Gel Bait. This will kill them.

Also, use an IGR (insect growth regulator). You will spray (or place disks) around your home and the product will last for a few months. The chemicals will disrupt their ability to breed by rendering them sterile.

I've used both Martin's IGR and Gentrol Disks successfully. The disks are more expensive and I prefer the concentrated liquid but either should work.



I suggest using both products at the same time. If you choose another IGR just double check that the chemical is intended for the pest you're treating - some only treat fleas, some treat lots of pests, etc.

This is a roach control device. It's releases a growth hormone regulator that's supposed to prevent roaches from reproducing. It's the same one as this listing on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Gentrol-Point-Source-IGR-ZOE1007/dp/B0049EKEEK/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=IGR+Insect+Growth+Regulator+Discs&qid=1569973226&s=gateway&sr=8-4

Also use an IGR if possible here's what I use with a lot of success https://www.amazon.com/Gentrol-Point-Source-IGR-ZOE1007/dp/B0049EKEEK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?adgrpid=57600465498&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzunmBRDsARIsAGrt4mueCckbC88nTMwGNk5ntSjCyWgu-waQ8KyrSzfiVwEPFqxTWlS66QwaAvvBEALw_wcB&hvadid=274731156904&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=1028087&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=b&hvrand=231306937934641446&hvtargid=kwd-298157712944&hydadcr=4310_9618126&keywords=gentrol+point+source+igr&qid=1557882279&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Get insect growth regulator. It renders them infertile and stops the cycle. Roach bait/gels don’t address the babies that pop up every 30 days and the cycle just repeats itself. Roaches are tenacious jerks that can survive on just a smidge of grease and a drop of water. You could be clean but if your neighbors aren’t and there’s a small gap between the wall and floor/cabinet or in my case a gap where the water pipe comes in through the wall they will make there way through the gap.

I recommend the following product because there’s no messy spray and it’s easy to install, get some bait gel like the one the other commenter mentioned and put a few dabs onto this device to ensure that the roaches come near the station.

Please note that this device does not kill roaches and should used in conjunction with bait.

hm, i haven't heard the term palmetto bugs before. I think the ones i see are american/german. They all look so similar, and usually are pretty big.

dumb question, but do you think there are any negatives to IGR, if I do in fact have the palmetto bugs? Is there such a thing as overkill? Also, do you have any experience with these types of IGR? Seems easier than spraying everywhere. Thanks for your tips!

These are the other product I was telling you about. These pucks stop the current roaches from reproducing. They're not necessary but they'll help wipe them out a little quicker.
