Overt Cockroach Gel Bait 30 g – Indoxacarb Insecticide Gel
📝 Product Description
Overt is a ready-to-use Indoxacarb gel bait (6 g/kg or 0.6%) specifically formulated for indoor and outdoor cockroach treatment. The non-repellent gel is highly attractive even to resistant populations (e.g., German, Oriental, American, Brown, Smokybrown, Asian cockroaches) and causes a cascading “secondary kill” effect when insects return to their nests and spread the toxin via feces or contact.

🧠 Community Insight
Many users compare Overt with Advion® Cockroach Gel (Syngenta’s indoxacarb product), since both share the same mode of action and proven performance. While Advion may be better known, Overt is recognized for similar efficacy and use scenarios—particularly in resistance rotation programs.
