09/20/25
Maxforce Flyspot Fly Bait, manufactured by Bayer, is a powerful fly attractant that offers a discreet way to control flies both indoors and outdoors in residential and commercial structures.
This easy-to-mix granular bait contains an irresistible aroma of pheromones and sugar-based food attractants that flies love. These attractants are also formulated with the active ingredient imidacloprid 10.0% to work against hard-to-kill flies for up to 6 weeks indoors and 30 days outdoors.
Maxforce Flyspot Fly Bait is a long-lasting fly control bait that readily mixes with water to provide immediate results with fewer surfaces being treated. Keeping user safety in mind, this product also contains a Bitrex bittering agent that helps deter animals from ingesting the material. As a result, livestock owners or homeowners are further guaranteed a reliable and fast fly control option.
Tools Needed
You will need to mix the product into a handheld sprayer with water. For paint on applications, a paint brush or roller will be needed.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Maxforce Flyspot Fly Bait to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length x width = square footage). For spray applications, add 16 oz. of Maxforce Flyspot Fly Bait to one gallon of water to treat 1,000 sq. ft. For paint-on applications, add 8 oz. of this product to 8 oz of water. Do not apply this product at a rate exceeding 8 oz. for every 1,000 sq. ft. of floor space.
- Step 2: Fill a sprayer halfway with the required amount of water and add the appropriate amount of Maxforce Flyspot Bait to the tank. Fill with the remaining half of water and shake well to ensure it is completely mixed.
- Step 3: Spray the bait around areas where flies have been a problem. Focus application on vertical and horizontal surfaces in small bands between 2 and 12 feet. For paint-on applications, apply in narrow bands up to 6 inches wide on surfaces where flies may rest. Flies will land on the treated areas and die within a minute.
- Step 4: Reapply periodically until flies are no longer an issue.
Where to Use
Maxforce Flyspot Fly Bait can be applied around the outside of residential and commercial structures or partly enclosed areas, in and around livestock production facilities, poultry houses, turkey and chicken houses, cattle, sheep and goat facilities, feedlots, dairy barns, swine confinements, dog kennels, horse stables, and in non-food areas of commercial facilities.
Focus application on surfaces, windows, countertops, and wall corners, as well as outdoors along the perimeter of your house, on tables, and anywhere those pesky flies love to hang out.
When to Use
Begin applications at the start of the season before listed fly populations have reached their peak.
Safety Information
Maxforce Flyspot Fly Bait is safe for pets and children when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and using this product.
Do not apply bait on surfaces accessible to children or pets.
Do not apply bait in areas where food animals can ingest product.
