Application rates and delivery

• Apply Maxforce Activ for service and maintenance applications, including where nymphs are present.

• Maxforce Activ is smooth flowing (easy spot size management).

• The active ingredient is 10g/kg Clothianidin.

• A cockroach management program including the use of non-pyrethroid sprays (e.g. Ficam® W) residual sprays (e.g. Temprid® 75) and insect growth regulators (e.g. Starycide®) should result in the most effective cockroach management.

• Envu recommends the rotation of its gel baits: Maxforce Fusion and Maxforce Gold to prevent bait matrix aversion and chemical resistance.

• Conduct a thorough inspection prior to application of any chemical product.

• Read and follow directions on the label.

• Avoid application of synthetic pyrethroid sprays around areas where gel baits have been applied.

• Monitor bait placements at regular intervals; replenish gel if previous application has been consumed and cockroaches remain a problem; increase number of spots if necessary.

• Avoid applying to areas which are regularly washed.

• To avoid resistance development rotate with other gel baits which use other active substances.

• In order to reduce possibility of development of gel aversion, consider gel matrix rotation and use of other control methods (e.g. use of non-repellent dusts and sprays).
