Maxforce PLATIN Cockroach Bait Gel - 20g

Maxforce PLATIN Cockroach Bait Gel by Bayer (20g Syringe)

The latest and most advanced generation in gel bait technology for pest control by the German chemical giant Bayer.
Maxforce PLATIN is engineered with a unique bait matrix containing microencapsulated feeding stimulants and the active ingredient Clothianidin.
It works via a cascading viral kill mechanism that compels cockroaches to feed and transport the lethal active ingredient deep into harborages, eradicating adults, nymphs, and hidden egg-bearing females.

• Shelf Life: 3 years at room temperature (25°C ± 2°C); recommended for use within 1 year after opening the syringe seal

Key Features & Competitive Advantages:

1. Unique Active Ingredient (Clothianidin 1%): Belongs to an advanced chemical class that completely breaks the resistance acquired by cockroaches against older gel insecticides.

2. Microencapsulated Attractant Technology: Contains up to 40% feeding attractants, compelling adult cockroaches and early-instar nymphs to feed voraciously even in the presence of competing food sources.

3. Sequential Domino Effect: After feeding, cockroaches return to harborages to die, where other cockroaches and nymphs feed on their contaminated excretions and carcasses, collapsing the entire colony at the source.

4. Superior Moisture Retention & Anti-Drying: Gel spots remain moist, supple, and palatable over extended periods without cracking, hardening, or losing bio-efficacy.

5. Total Safety & Clean Application: Completely odorless formula that emits zero fumes or vapors, leaves no greasy residue or stains on walls and appliances, and is ideal for sensitive environments.

Target Pests:

• German Cockroach: All life stages, including nymphs and prolific breeding adults.

• American Cockroach: Large species infesting inspection chambers, drains, and basements.

• Oriental Cockroach: Species inhabiting dark, damp voids and cellars.

Recommended Applications:

• Residential Units & Apartments: Kitchens, bathrooms, under sinks, behind refrigerators and washing machines, and cabinet/drawer corners.

• Commercial Food Facilities & Restaurants: Hotel kitchens, cafes, bakeries, food processing plants, supermarkets, and grain/commodity storage.

• Sensitive & Enclosed Facilities: Hospitals, medical clinics, schools, corporate offices, aircraft cabins, and trains without requiring site evacuation.

• Control Panels & Electrical Appliances: Behind microwaves, appliance motor housings, and inside junction boxes (with appropriate caution).

Application Rates & Directions for Use:

• Opening & Preparation: Remove the syringe tip cap by gently pulling, twisting, and detaching it; the syringe is immediately ready for precision dispensing.

• Application Rates by Pest Type & Infestation Level:

  • German Cockroaches (and Light Infestations): Apply 2 gel spots per square meter (equivalent to 0.2g/m²).

  • American and Oriental Cockroaches (and Heavy Infestations): Apply 4 gel spots per square meter (equivalent to 0.4g/m²).

  • Ideal Spot Size: Apply spots approximately the size of a small lentil or pea (5 to 7 mm in diameter, weighing ~0.1g).

• Application Strategy: Distribute multiple small spots across separate, dark harborage points inside cracks and crevices rather than placing a single large deposit.

• Critical Precaution: Strictly avoid applying liquid insecticide sprays or strong air fresheners over or adjacent to gel spots to prevent bait contamination and repellency.

• Monitoring & Replenishment: Inspect bait placements regularly; replenish fully consumed spots promptly until complete eradication is achieved.
