Manufactured by Bayer, Maxforce FC Roach Gel Bait is a popular gel bait designed specifically created to treat roach infestations. What sets this professional gel bait apart from other gel baits, it is this product’s patented Dual Action Formula that works in two ways, from contact and ingestion. Whether your roaches eat some of the bait, or simply come into contact with it, they will still be affected and die. This gel bait also gives a long residual control that lasts up to a year, so you can use it as the first step to eliminate unwanted roaches across your home and to control re-infestation after extermination.

Good to be used indoors and outdoors in residential and commercial areas, you can use it in multiple ways. You can use it as a crack and crevice treatment, by placing it under baseboards, sinks, countertops, seats, near plumbing, under appliances, and to plug small cracks and holes in the walls where roach harborage could occur. This gel bait is easy to use and to apply, simply place it where roaches have been seen and you should see results almost overnight.

Tools Needed

There are no products necessary as the gel bait comes ready to use though you could use Maxforce FC with a professional bait gun such as our Bait Gun D32.

How to Use

• Step 1: To use indoors, simply apply half an inch of bait to crevices and cracks in the wall with applicator tip. A small amount of bait should do the trick. Do not apply the gal bait where food, utensils, or processing surfaces may be contaminated. It can be used in kitchens but only as a crack and crevice treatment (think in the corners of kitchen cabinets where contact with dishes or pots would be unlikely, or under and behind appliances).
• Step 2: To use outdoors as a perimeter barrier and to prevent cockroaches from entering your property, use as crack and crevice treatment along walls and foundation of the house. Entry points, such as eaves, sills, and expansion joints are ideal places to apply the gel bait. It’s important to note that gel bait will be affected if exposed to direct sunlight and water and its residual control might lessen.
• Step 3: As the infected cockroach goes back to the nest, it generates infected feces that the rest of the cockroach population feeds on, and as the infected cockroach dies, and other cockroaches eat its corpse along with its feces, the whole population gets infected.
