Advanced Mode of Action:

Advion Gel relies on two scientific mechanisms that give it an edge over all conventional insecticides:

1. Smart Bio-Activation:

   • Indoxacarb functions as a non-toxic pro-insecticide in its initial state. Once ingested by the cockroach, the insect's endogenous metabolic enzymes break down and bio-activate the molecule into a potent active compound. This active metabolite binds to voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cells, inducing paralysis followed by complete mortality.

   • This targeted biochemical mechanism delivers lethal efficacy exclusively to target pests while ensuring high environmental suitability for sensitive spaces.

2. Chain / Domino Effect:

   • Target insects do not die instantly at the bait placement site; instead, they return to harborages carrying the active substance internally and in their excretions.

   • Capitalizing on cockroach necrophagy and coprophagy behaviors, the lethal dose spreads horizontally to harborages, eliminating nymphs, larvae, and hidden egg-bearing females for total colony collapse at the root in record time.

Target Pests:

• German Cockroach: Highly prolific kitchen, restaurant, and appliance infesting species.

• American Cockroach: Large species common in sewer systems, floor drains, and storage facilities.

• Oriental Cockroach: Species preferring dark, high-moisture basements and voids.

• Brown-banded Cockroach.

Key Features & Competitive Advantages:

1. Irresistible Attractancy: Loaded with 38% feeding attractants, outperforming competing food sources and grease residues.

2. Controls Bait-Averse Strains: Completely overcomes glucose aversion and bait rejection present in tough populations.

3. Moisture Retention & Non-Drying: Maintains matrix moisture, palatability, and pliability long after application without hardening.

4. Odorless & Clean: Non-staining, leaves zero vapor or chemical odor, serving as the ideal clean alternative to broadcast spraying.

5. Precision Application: Easy-to-use syringe enables pinpoint spot placements inside narrow cracks, seams, and harborage voids.

Ideal Application Sites:

• Residential Units: Kitchens, behind and beneath refrigerators/ovens, cabinet corners, drawer tracks, bathrooms, and living areas.

• Commercial Food Facilities: Restaurants, bakeries, cafes, food processing plants, grain warehouses, and supermarkets.

• Sensitive & Enclosed Facilities: Hospitals, healthcare centers, schools, hotels, aircraft cabins, trains, and office complexes.

• Electrical Equipment & Appliances: Control boxes, refrigerator motor compartments, behind microwaves, and beneath plumbing fixtures.

Application Rates & Directions for Use:

1. Inspection: Identify primary harborages, dark moisture points, and active travel pathways.

2. Surface Preparation: Apply onto clean surfaces. Ensure placement sites are not hot, wet, oily, dusty, or overly absorbent.

3. Targeted Placement: Dispense small gel spots directly into cracks, crevices, void openings, and corners.

4. Dosage Density:

   • Light Infestation / Small Nymphs: 1–3 spots per m².

   • Heavy Infestation / Large Species: 3–5 spots per m².

5. Placement Pattern: Multiple small, widely distributed spots provide significantly higher feeding access than large single placements.

6. Avoid Chemical Sprays: Strictly avoid applying liquid insecticide sprays, sanitizers, or air fresheners over or near the gel, as chemical odors contaminate the bait and deter insect feeding.

7. Monitoring & Replenishment: Inspect bait points regularly; replenish consumed spots promptly until all activity ceases completely.
