Caution
Know before you buy
Optigard uses Emamectin benzoate, an active ingredient that targets both the nerves and muscles of cockroaches. This unique mode of action makes it highly effective against populations that have developed resistance to more common insecticides.
The gel is designed for crack and crevice treatments. Focus your application in areas where cockroaches hide or travel, such as behind appliances, under sinks, inside cabinets, and along baseboards.
Yes, the formula is odorless and non-staining, making it suitable for indoor use in kitchens and other sensitive areas. However, ensure you apply the bait into cracks and crevices rather than on food-preparation surfaces to avoid direct contact.
Yes, Optigard is labeled for both indoor and outdoor use. When applying outdoors, place the bait in protected areas such as wall voids or near entry points to prevent it from being washed away by rain or exposed to direct sunlight.
Optigard is formulated for quick knockdown. While results depend on the size of the infestation, you should notice a significant reduction in cockroach activity shortly after they begin feeding on the bait.
