Tools Needed
You will need to use a handheld spreader, push spreader, or refillable bait stations.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Maxforce Complete Insect Bait to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For outdoor use around structures, use 0.5 oz (one tablespoon) of Maxforce Complete Insect Bait per 25 linear feet. Around structures, the total application should not exceed 4 to 8 oz per 200 to 400 linear feet (or 0.5 oz per 25 linear feet). To treat refillable stations, apply 1 to 3 oz (2 to 6 Tbsp.) of product per bait station. For outdoor broadcast applications, use 1 oz. of product per 1,800 sq. ft. or 1.5 lbs. of product per acre. To treat individual ant mounds, use 1 oz. of product per mound. For indoor use, apply 0.5 oz. (one tablespoon) of product per crack, crevice, or other inaccessible areas where insects may hide or live. To make indoor applications in unfinished attics and crawl spaces, use a rate of 0.5 oz of product per 100 sq. ft.
- Step 2: Adjust the spreader settings and load the proper amount of product.
- Step 3: Start at the outer edge of the lawn and work towards the middle, pushing the spreader at a steady pace. Then, release the Maxforce Complete Insect Bait evenly on the lawn. The handheld spreader can also be used to treat other areas, such as gardens and patios.
- Step 4: Reapply as needed.
Where to Use
Maxforce Complete Insect Bait can be applied to indoor areas where children and pets cannot access it, such as wall voids, attics, crawl spaces, and behind electrical outlets. Tamper-proof refillable bait stations are ideal for other areas, such as bedrooms, bathrooms, and more.
It can be applied to outdoor areas such as lawns, gardens, porches, patios, sidewalks, and around the perimeter of building structures and residential areas.
Do not apply this product in bodies of water or on surface areas where food is eaten or prepared.
When to Use
Apply at the first sign of targeted pest activity.
