Max force Gold Cockroach Bait Fast Results Highly Safe

Getting rid of cockroaches? We have the answer. Maxforce Gold Cockroach Bait is a cockroach gel for the treatment of cockroach infestations. It turns affected cockroaches into mobile bait stations. So, once cockroaches have eaten Maxforce Gold Cockroach Gel, their contaminated faeces and bodies can contaminate other cockroaches producing a ‘domino effect’ within the cockroach population.

Maxforce Gold Cockroach Bait tubes are compatible with all available cockroach gel gun applicators and because the bait stays moist and attractive to cockroaches for months, it goes on working long after you’re gone.

The Cockroach Bait contains a low concentration of a modern, low-dose insecticide (fipronil) which provides control of cockroaches when they ingest the gel. Small spots of gel are placed in out of the way areas where cockroaches are commonly found (eg. under sink units and cupboards) and therefore there is very little risk of exposure to the product. 

Maxforce Gold Cockroach Gel is not classified as a poison, therefore, there is also very little risk of adverse effects even if the spots are accidentally contacted.

What is Fipronil?

Fipronil is a broad-spectrum insecticide that disrupts the insect's central nervous system by blocking the passage of chloride ions through the GABA receptor and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels, components of the central nervous system.

Fipronil is a slow-acting poison. When mixed with a cockroach gel, it allows the poisoned insect time to return to the colony or harbourage. In cockroaches, the faeces and carcasses can contain sufficient residual pesticide to kill others in the same nesting site. In ants, the sharing of the bait among colony members assists in the spreading of the poison throughout the colony. With the cascading effect, the projected kill rate is about 95% in three days for ants and cockroaches.

These residual pesticides turn the infected cockroaches and their fluids, into bait themselves. These slow-acting poisons, when mixed with bait, allow the poisoned insect time to return to the colony or harbourage and infect others. Larger placements should be made when populations are high.

A plastic applicator tip is the best choice when applying Maxforce Gold around electrical equipment.

Gels may stain some textiles and porous surfaces. Where this could be a problem, apply Maxforce Gold to cracks, crevices and hard-to-see places.
