Organic Cockroach Bait is a scientifically developed, attractive bait for all roach species in New Zealand. Using an organic active ingredient, Spinosad, it is much safer for use in the home and the first time to be used in a cockroach bait around the world.
It works through ingestion and contact, being an effective nest killer. This easy-to-use bait spreads through a daisy chain effect through cockroach colonies, eliminating entire populations of cockroaches (even the introverted cockroaches who like to hide away). It is time to finally say goodbye to cockroaches, and hello to a cleaner home (in a SAFER way).
This pack includes:
20g cockroach bait tube
6 applicator dots
*Allowed for use in organic production

Directions for use
Place Hawkeye applicator dots under or behind any furniture, under the sink in kitchen and bathroom , next to or under dishwasher, in cabinets, behind or under fridge, freezer or the oven. Wherever a cockroach infestation is found and apply Hawkeye Organic Cockroach Bait on the dots on the marked area (5mm circle approximately). Also apply Hawkeye Roach Bait in cracks and crevices.
Do not apply Hawkeye Organic Cockroach Bait directly on bench tops, or surfaces where food preparation is performed, or any food products or food handling products.
If you have a large infestation, place the dot applicators about 10cm apart in several locations at the same time. For smaller colonies, they can be placed 2 to 3 feet apart. Focus on the kitchen or areas they frequent.
Monitor and re-apply. Keep an eye on the amount of bait taken and check bait every couple of days. Reapply on the bait applicator dots if all is gone until you see no more feeding or cockroach droppings (if that was the case before).
Note: if it looks like the Hawkeye Organic Cockroach Bait has not been frequented by roaches, then try changing the location of the dot applicators to somewhere else they could be frequenting and check again in a couple of days.
DO NOT spray directly around or over your dot applicators with cleaning agents or other insecticides, as this can discourage cockroaches from take the bait.
Frequently asked questions
Where is Cockroach Bait best placed inside the home?
Hawkeye roach bait should be applied in cracks and crevices. Place several widely spaced dime-sized spots of Hawkeye roach bait under or behind any furniture, under the sink in the kitchen and bathroom, next to the dishwasher, behind the oven where cockroach infestation is found. Periodically check the bait for consumption or attractiveness and reapply if needed or clean the remaining paste if dead cockroaches are spotted and there is no further cockroach movement/infestation.
*Notes: Baits may require a couple of weeks to significantly reduce cockroach population numbers, so be patient.
What is the active ingredient?
How do I know if the Cockroach Bait is working?
The number one sign is fewer cockroaches out in the open. You should also find fewer droppings (if that has been a problem). Remember to keep an eye on the bait. At first, if it is disappearing quickly, that means that the roaches are feeding on it. As time goes on, you should find more bait left over as fewer cockroaches will be feeding as it slowly kills the colony.
How long does the Cockroach Bait take to work?
You can start seeing dead roaches within 5-6 hours and should start to see significant reduction in roach infestation within a week. After 2 weeks, over 90% of the roaches will have been eliminated. We do encourage you to keep using Hawkeye Cockroach Bait until you stop seeing roach activity completely or no feeding on the bait is occurring.
What are the noticeable signs in your home of having a cockroach infestation?
Cockroach faeces/droppings: these may vary from the size of coffee grounds or black pepper (small roaches e.g. German cockroach) to a bit larger cylindrical droppings (in case of larger roach infestation e.g. American roaches). The quantity of visible faeces is oftentimes a good indicator of the level of cockroach infestation.
Unpleasant smell- A strong musty odour may be present in cockroach infested areas and this is particularly noticeable with American roach infestation or a very high German roach infestation. The bodies of dead cockroaches can also be found throughout the house.
Adult cockroaches and their eggs- adults may be seen around pantry areas especially at night-time. Oval-shaped egg cases can also be seen glued in pantry, behind furniture or in other hidden locations, such as the spaces between books, under sink etc.
What do I do if I notice Cockroaches outside and around my home?
The best thing to do in this situation if you notice a lot of them around your home, is to use our (Hawkeye Spider and Insect Spray) as a preventative. You can spray the areas you notice the cockroaches hanging out.
Technical Information
Hawkeye Organic Cockroach Bait uses active ingredient Spinosad (1.05%). Spinosad is a natural active ingredient derived from fermentation of bacteria.
It was first discovered in the Caribbean during the 1980s form a soil sample at an old abandoned rum distillery. There were dead flies on the ground in an area and a sample of soil was then taken and tested, where a new species of bacteria was present that produced Spinosad.
It has a 100% natural manufacturing process make up.
Spinosad is now a recognised active ingredient both in New Zealand and around the world.
