Maxforce® White IC is particularly valuable in sensitive areas where the use of conventional insecticide formulations is restricted e.g. in the vicinity of electric and electronic equipment etc. For maximum effectiveness Maxforce® White IC must be placed in and around cockroach harbourages and, if possible, between these areas and food sources. Survey the area to be treated to identify sites of cockroach infestation e.g. by using traps and/or flush-out aerosols, searching for droppings, cast skins and egg cases etc.

When the treatment has been completed remove the empty cartridge and dispose of safely. If the cartridge is only partially used, remove it from the applicator, seal it with the end cap provided and store as directed. Apply Maxforce® White IC directly as spots or thin ribbons to surfaces in identified target areas. It should be placed out of sight and where light intensity is low. Avoid excessively dusty, damp or greasy locations and those, which are subject to washing.

Do not apply to areas that have recently been treated with other insecticides or contaminate the bait with other insecticides. Maxforce® White IC can be placed in the vicinity of: corners, cracks and crevices, voids, service-ducts, lift shafts, equipment and furniture e.g. counters, refrigerators, cookers, sinks, baths etc. It is ideal for use in and around sensitive situations e.g. electrical and electronic equipment. Where immigration of cockroaches has been identified placement of additional bait in peripheral areas of the site will aid control.

An effect on the cockroach population can be expected very quickly with dead cockroaches evident within 24 hours of treatment. Maximum levels of control are achieved 1 to 3 month after treatment depending upon the level of infestation and as long as the gel is present. Where infestations are high inspect the applied spots of Maxforce® White IC regularly and make further applications as required. Unwanted gel can be removed by sponging with a 5% sodium chloride solution.

RATES OF APPLICATION
The application rate is adjusted to the size of the infestation and the type of cockroach found.

Note: One spot = 0,1 g measuring 7 mm diameter. A thin ribbon equating to one spot can alternatively be applied. *Density of infestation: Low infestation: cockroaches rarely visible during the day. High infestation: cockroaches commonly visible during the day.
