Optigard uses Emamectin Benzoate, a Group 6 insecticide that works differently than the common active ingredients found in many over-the-counter baits. This makes it an excellent choice for rotating your pest control strategy to prevent resistance.

No, this product is not considered safe for pets or children. You must apply the gel in areas that are completely inaccessible to them, such as deep inside cracks, crevices, or behind appliances.

Focus on crack-and-crevice treatments where cockroaches hide, such as near hinges, under sinks, or behind kitchen appliances. Apply 1 to 4 small spots per square yard to ensure the bait is placed directly in their travel paths.

No, the formulation is completely odorless. This makes it a discreet option for use in kitchens, pantries, and other sensitive indoor areas where you don't want lingering chemical scents.

Yes, it can be used outdoors, but it is not rain-resistant. It should only be applied in protected areas like electrical boxes or sheltered voids where it will remain dry and effective.

Optigard is designed for rapid elimination by disrupting the nervous and muscular systems of the roaches. While results depend on the severity of the infestation, you can expect faster knockdown compared to many standard gel baits.
