Hi,

As title states, been looking for this gel all morning in the PTA area without any luck.
Anyone have any ideas?

You mean boric acid mixed with sugar mix everyone seems to be mentioning in the web?

Doesn't even need the sugar. Just straight boric acid powder. Will get rid of ants as well. And non-toxic to humans and other pets you may have lying around.

If it is truly bad, this is the stuff to get: https://www.amazon.com/Advion-Synge...3?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1483788296&sr=1-3

Youtube has many videos showing how epic it is.

OP, haven't tried Advion. That said, see my post https://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?p=18775048

Going to call the local supplier for Advion but if I get no joy I'll import it or Max???

GF said she'll try get poison from the taxi ranks which worked for her previously in the interim.

Boracic acid doesn't seem to be working albeit, it's just day 1.
 
You can buy the Advion straight from Amazon (using that link above, it ships to SA). That is pretty much what I did because my neighbor had a cockroach infestation (live in a block of flats).
Think I paid like R400 for 4 which is quite expensive, but if you hate cockroaches to the same level that I do, I felt like I'd happily pay it.

You just put a dab everywhere like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrGoqtOrmgc

Also like the guy said as an update comment. You need to keep treating until they are all dead.

Cockroaches that survive bread like crazy. For example: https://youtu.be/6fEWldJSse0?t=1775

The roaches that survive are the ones that don't have a taste for the poison and then you are screwed.

Great, do it. Who knows, maybe Advion works and then you don't have to bother with Maxforce. I know Maxforce takes a couple of days to work, so the same night go for Advion (?). So worst case scenario give it some time in between the different treatment.

That said I will be very surprised if nothing works for you.
