What Makes Goliath Gel New Different?
Goliath Gel New isn’t just a repackaged version of the original. It’s a reformulated, next-generation gel that combines two powerful active ingredients: Clothianidin and Pyriproxyfen. This dual-action formula targets cockroaches at every stage of life—from nymphs to adults—and ensures that even resistant strains are wiped out. The gel is ready to use in 30g syringes, making application quick and precise in indoor environments for public health.
Active Ingredients Breakdown
- Clothianidin (0.5%): A non-repellent neonicotinoid insecticide that delivers a rapid knockdown. Even cockroaches that have developed aversion or resistance to other gels will readily consume this bait.
- Pyriproxyfen (0.5%): An insect growth regulator (IGR) that prevents nymphs from maturing into adults and renders adult females sterile. This ensures long-term suppression of the population.
Key Features of Goliath Gel New
1. Highly Palatable Bait
The gel is formulated with an extraordinarily attractive and palatable bait matrix. Cockroaches feed on it quickly, ingesting a lethal dose before they even realize what’s happening. This high palatability is critical for achieving optimal control, especially in environments where food sources are abundant.
2. Fast and Total Control
You’ll see results overnight. Thanks to the rapid action of Clothianidin, a strong reduction in cockroach activity is noticeable just one day after application. The product’s proven cascade effect amplifies this control: nymphs that remain hidden in their harborage feed on the feces and carcasses of contaminated adults, ingesting the poison secondhand and dying as a result. This secondary kill mechanism ensures that even cockroaches that never directly contact the gel are eliminated.
3. Long-Lasting Protection
Pyriproxyfen provides durable protection against new generations of cockroaches. By disrupting the growth cycle and sterilizing adults, the gel prevents reinfestation for weeks after application. This makes Goliath Gel New an excellent choice for ongoing resistance management.
Target Species
This gel is effective against all common indoor cockroach species, including:
- German cockroach (Blattella germanica)
- American cockroach (Periplaneta americana)
- Oriental cockroach (Blatta orientalis)
- Brown-banded cockroach (Supella longipalpa)
It works on both nymphs and adults, making it a comprehensive solution for any infestation.
How to Use Goliath Gel New
Application is straightforward. The gel comes in a 30g syringe designed for professional use (with or without formal training). Apply small, pea-sized dabs in areas where cockroaches are likely to travel or hide—along baseboards, behind appliances, under sinks, and in cracks and crevices. Avoid applying the gel in areas where it might be washed away or exposed to excessive heat. Reapply as needed based on infestation severity.
Why Choose Goliath Gel New?
If you’ve tried other cockroach baits and been disappointed, Goliath Gel New offers several advantages:
- Non-repellent formula: Cockroaches don’t detect it as a threat, so they feed freely.
- Cascade effect: Kills cockroaches that eat contaminated carcasses or feces.
- Resistance management: The dual active ingredients reduce the risk of resistance buildup.
- Professional-grade: Trusted by pest control professionals for over two decades.
