Definitions of food gel bait treatments
Cockroaches:	Gel baits are a type of poisoned food for cockroaches using their eating habits and social characteristics to control infestations via powerful delayed action. While traditional insecticides such as organophosphates, carbamates and pyrethroids affect the nervous system and quickly produce hyperexcitation and convulsions. However, gel bait works gradually as a metabolic poison. After a single feeding by target insects, there are no immediate symptoms of poisoning. Within a few hours, however, the insects become lethargic and stop eating. This condition progresses until the insects die within 24 to 72 hours. The Killing Power is most active against energetic insects, and its speed of kill increases with an increase in temperature and insect activity. Insects have shown no signs of resistance to gel bait.
Rodents:	Rodent contact gels are predominantly similar to rodent contact powders, but with the advantage of being transferred in the form as a gel. The active ingredient difenacoum is ingested by the mice who come into contact with the gel when grooming themselves which is a constant process in rodents. A highly effective method of poisoning in sites of difficulty in obtaining good takes of edible rodenticide. The method of application is to ensure mice come into contact with the gel either by using it in mouse bait boxes or by smearing around rodent holes, runs or burrows.
