Know before you buy
Optigard uses emamectin benzoate, an active ingredient that targets the nervous and muscular systems of cockroaches. This makes it an effective alternative to baits containing indoxacarb or fipronil, especially when managing populations that may have developed bait aversion.
Rotating baits like Optigard with products such as Advion helps prevent cockroaches from developing resistance or behavioral aversion to a single active ingredient. Using different modes of action ensures that your treatment remains effective over the long term.
Apply the bait in small spots, roughly 0.25 to 0.50 grams each, directly into cracks, crevices, and void spaces where cockroaches hide. Focus on areas near water sources, food storage, and dark, protected corners like under sinks or behind appliances.
Yes, but it must be applied strictly as a crack-and-crevice or void treatment. By placing the gel in areas inaccessible to children and pets, such as inside wall voids or deep within cabinet hinges, you minimize the risk of accidental contact.
Optigard is highly effective against most common indoor cockroach species, including German, American, and Oriental cockroaches. Its formulation is designed to be highly palatable, ensuring that even picky populations will consume the bait.
