BASF Avert DF Dry Flowable Cockroach Bait for Crack & Crevice Roach Infestation Treatment, Easy Ready to Use Puff Application, 32 Grams

Works very well.

This stuff WORKS! A family member who is a professional exterminator couldn't make a house call when we needed him as we cleaned out a hoard of a house that was overrun with roaches. The cleanup of the house took awhile, giving the roaches tons of places to hide and breed, but with a single tube of this stuff used throughout the home, the amount of roaches decreased by at least 90%. There were so many before using this that they weren't even afraid to come out in the light. They owned the place. But our exterminator family member recommended this and it worked! It's dry powder in a tube that you put into crevices and give the bottle a little squeeze to poof the powdered bait/killer deep into crevices, around plumbing, under sinks, etc. It smells a bit like dog food to me. But the roaches came looking for it, the smell isn't strong, but enough for the bugs to notice. They track it back to their nest and the other bugs get it on themselves and, they clean themselves (the grossest creatures ever, but they clean themselves, ugh!) and ingest the powder while doing so. It also impairs their fertility making it where they can't reproduce, and kills the ones who ingest it. They actively seek it out and bring it back to kill the rest in the nest. Nothing that can be bought from the store works, but I trust this product 100% to always be an effective treatment for the most problematic infestations. A little goes a long way.

Love this product. I began sweeping up deceased roaches the day after putting the powder down. Its a powder that comes in a tube with a control nozzle which allows you to place contents in hard to reach areas. The week after placing powder down, I did not see anymore roaches. If I could rate this product higher than 5, I would. Exceptional product.

Ever since I moved to Los Angeles, I have lived in apartments with roaches. I heard about Avert sometime in 2010, did a little bit of research, saw the YT videos and I was convinced, but I did not buy it. Why? I felt like it was too expensive and I wondered if it really worked. Yet even after several professional exterminations, the roaches survived. I had to bite the bullet and try Avert.In my lifetime, I have bought at least 100 cans of Raid...that's about $600! Of course buying one can here and two there didn't really hurt my pocket but the overall cost is huge and I finally realized it. So then I said to myself that 20-something bucks for a small tube of something that should work would be an investment if indeed it worked. And indeed it DID!I bit the bullet last month and I put Avert underneath the fridge (the biggest problem area), under the stove, in the pantry, cabinets, in the back of the microwave oven (they love electronics), the TV, the wireless modem, wall cracks and crevices in the kitchen, bathroom and even the bedrooms. Yup, they were everywhere, although the problem was concentrated in the kitchen.It used to be that I would go into the kitchen in the middle of the night and when I turned on the lights, those little effers would scatter and I'd have to chase them, stomping the ones I could. Now, I turn on the lights in the middle of the night and I don't see any...not even one in the trash can!This stuff actually works and if you don't want to spend another dime on these freaking parasites, buy Avert. It will be your last expense.

May I get a new straw, the long thin applicator tool that inserts into the top cover when needed? The included one broke. I need to apply to deep crack and crevice spots and can only do so with the long thin tube straw.

Easy to dust into cracks you can't otherwise get to. Did some reading and it lasts a year so worth the money

Finally, after the German Gel stopped working, along with the bait. Cockroach motels, airbnbs. Nothing was working until this formula. It's a good formula plus the powder enables u to cover a wider area. Will continue to use this util the cockroaches are totally defeated and eliminated!!! Damn I feel like Ripley v. Aliens!

I was having a terrible problem with roaches in my kitchen and bathroom. turn the lights on and they would be be everywhere. Within two days of using the product I noticed a marked decrease in the number of roaches. also I was finding them dead on the floor and inside the cabinets. I have both the roaches coming up from the sink drains and the german roaches. Due to the fact that I live in a condo complex it is a never ending battle and one one tenant treats their home the roaches move on to the next one.I still have a few scattered roaches here and there, so I plan to reapply every 2-3 weeks. The Avert Dry Flowable seems to be much more effective then gel brands and I have saved a lot of money not having to call exterminators.a word of caution the roaches will try to relocate to other areas of the house so treat additional rooms as needed
