Hi, is this product food-safe for infestation in pantry/cutlery cupboards? Thanks

Your question is somewhat confusing. "Food safe" implies that it can be *consumed* without health concerns. Of course this product should not be consumed or come in direct contact with food or food preparation surfaces. But on the other hand, it can of course be used "near" food and food prep areas without taking extra precautions to avoid fumes, etc., which is presumably what the other people who responded to your question meant when they said "yes", since the gist of your question was whether it can be used in food storage areas.

I have put the gel bait in my pantry that has my canned foods or foods that are sealed. So like my sugar, flour, meal etc. I have put them all in a Ziploc bag and placed the gel in hinges of the cabinet doors. The gel should not be near open food or surfaces where food is prepared. The product goes no where near knives, forks, spoons, and such. I'm a bit paranoid, but I don't want these boogers eating the bait, and then running across my spoons or something in my cutlery draw. You can place the gel in cracks and crevices along the wall or cabinet, crawl spaces, or cracks in the floor. This is directly from the packaging, "Do not apply ADVION gel bait to areas where food/feed, food utensils or food processing surfaces may come into contact and become contaminated." Hope this helps!

I don't have a roach problem, but did have a ant problem. What happens is they (bugs) eat this and dehyrate and die. What i did was drill a small hole in the wall and went tot he dollar store and got one of those ketchup picnic bottle plastic and put some in that and then i sprayed inside the wall though the hole i drilled.can easily be fix later, i put painters tape over the hole and will get it there until i am done. But i would say yes to your question and this is organic so should not hurt animals or people. you can also put in the cabinets way in the back. It last a long time, i bought a 5 lb box also and still have half and that was maybe a yr ago or so. I use it in my gardens, inside the house and around the house. And i can say it works very well.

No but it's fine. There is refrigerated and unrefrigerated in the stores. I honestly don't know the difference. I buy it and it stays in the pantry until there is room in the fridge - no problems! Enjoy!

Ive been keeping mine in the kitchen cupboard at room temperature .... It's been good, not Harding or clumping!

Yes, it is safe, just make sure it is not around food and people do not have contact with it.

We've had them in the kitchen with no problem, and my parents keep one on the counter next to the sink. So far, no-one's died but the ant invaders. So long as you don't dump the liquid bait all over the place and then eat it, I think you're fine.

Just keep it at room temperature and it will be fine. Honey is antimicrobial naturally so you needn't be concerned about spoiling anyway.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I keep mine in an airtight container in my pantry and so far have not had any problems. I use them so they aren't in the pantry for more than a few months.

Dear Erma,I sprayed the inside of my kitchen cabinets as well, but I did not wash the shelves before placing items back inside, and there was no problem and nothing else crawling around inside of them either. You don't have to spray much when you spray - this stuff really works!

Yes, you can. But since it is a pesticide product, you have to cover it up so that it doesn't come in contact with any food or the dishes that food is served in.

I agree with the others... I keep them in a kitchen cabinet at room temperature (well away from the stove/oven). Never had any problems.

Hi Kelvin, I had an infestation of mealybugs. They were tenacious!! I sprayed this product as stated on the label; soaking the leaves of the infected plants. Within a couple of days, I noticed a great improvement. I kept using the product and am now bug free. To answer your question, I had to re-read the packaging. And yes, it states that it is effective against spider mites. Good Luck in your fight. (And not to dispute anyone), but I tried a dish liquid and ammonia mix. It work for a while. But what I didn't realize was that the nasty little buggers were making colonies on all my plants. I had to get tough!!! Hi Kelvin, I had an infestation of mealybugs. They were tenacious!!

Honestly, we had a really bad infestation i applied this product in just my kitchen at first then the rest of the house, it worked faster than i could keep up with. Bugs died so quick I had to break out the shop vacuum to suck them up. After one month all the bugs in my house were dead there were none left. I too reapplied after one month nothing ate it... that's because there was nothing left to eat it as they were all dead. hope that helps.

I used a Q-tip in my kitchen, making sure no poison got on the counter.But just make sure you pull out the stove and spray the wall and the floor. Under the refrigerator and under all cabinets,and if you have a dishwasher get pray under it and bathroom cabinets . Spray the opening around your entrance door and if possible around the windows. You may want to mix it a little strong. And you will be amazed how many dead bugs you will start finding.

I've heard of people using it for various things - I use it to keep fleas and ants out of my house. What I buy is food grade and doesn't hurt people or animals. Farmers use it in their animal feed and a certain amount is in meat and breads. Only thing I've read is to wear a mask if using a lot of it in a small area. Farmers probably wear masks to mix it with animal feed.

Hi Roseanna! I placed mine into an airtight container for storage for precisely the reason you cite: anti-vermin. I actually framed the bag! Living in Kaua'i meant a strong likelihood of bugs! Another tip: I placed the jute bag of lentils in the freezer for a week and then brought it back to room temperature before placing the lentils into the air tight container. Since then we have moved to New Zealand to live and the lentils are in perfect condition.

I would get on their website and ask, but from what I understand, it's safe and safe to use around food dishes too. I think the only difference in the two may be the strength? I do know for sure...it works! It's the best I've ever used. I've tried a lot of products and this is the ONLY one that gets the odors out and out to stay.
