Maxforce FC Roach Gel Bait

Maxforce FC Roach Gel Bait, manufactured by Bayer, is a popular gel bait designed to treat roach infestations.

What sets this professional gel bait apart from other gel baits is its patented dual-action formula, which works in two ways: 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.

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

Tools Needed

No products are 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 an 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 it as a crack and crevice treatment along the 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 returns to the nest, it generates infected feces that the rest of the cockroach population feeds on. As the infected cockroach dies, and other cockroaches eat its corpse along with its feces, the whole population gets infected.

Where to Use

Maxforce FC Roach Bait is labeled for use indoors and outdoors (adjacent to homes and structures) to control cockroaches in residential areas and the non-food/non-feed areas of institutional, warehousing, and commercial establishments.

Non-food/non-feed areas include bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms, and closets. In food/feed areas of food/feed handling establishments, only as a spot or crevice treatment away from exposed surfaces where food is handled.

Areas of focus would be baseboards, floorboards, under appliances, cabinets, and other areas where roaches frequently occur.

When to Use

This roach bait should be used when there is an indoor cockroach infestation that is quickly growing and can happen at any time of the year, in any weather.

Special Considerations

Before beginning to apply this product, take care to clean your home and place of business, as this is half the battle. Clean up and leave no food sources available that might deter roaches from ingesting and coming into contact with the roach bait.
