MAXFORCE granular insect bait is a ready-to-use
product for use in and around buildings, on lawns, and other non-crop
areas.*
The patented formula of MAXFORCE granular insect bait
contains a special blend of foods, combined with the
delayed-action stomach poison, hydramethylnon.
When properly used, this bait will control many common structure-invading
insects before they can enter a structure.
Do not apply other insecticides (such as aerosols,
sprays, etc.) on top of or in close proximity to MAXFORCE granular insect
bait, as it will reduce the effectiveness. Expect to see fewer ants within
a week.
MAXFORCE granular insect bait controls :
Roaches, crickets and a variety of ants including the following
species: Acrobat, Argentine, Big Headed, Carpenter, Cornfield,
Field, Fire, Ghost, Harvester, Odorous House, Pavement, Pharaoh,
Thief.
The delayed action of the active ingredient allows foraging
ants to bring the bait back to the nest so that the entire colony,
including the queen, is destroyed.
FOR OUTDOOR USE
AROUND STRUCTURES:
Sprinkle MAXFORCE¨ granule insect bait evenly in a 1-2 foot
wide band adjacent to the structure at a rate of 0.5 oz (one tablespoon)
of bait per 25 linear feet.
NOTE: Around structures
the total application should not exceed 4-8 oz per 200-400 linear
feet (or 0.5 oz per 25 linear feet).
A typical application would be 4-8 oz adjacent to an average sized
home of 200-400 linear feet.
Also, be sure to treat areas such as porches, patios, driveways,
sidewalks, flower gardens, and around trees, wood piles and garbage
receptacles.
DO NOT USE ON EDIBLE FOOD OR ON AREAS INTENDED FOR EDIBLE FOOD
CROP PRODUCTION.
For ants, treat visible trails as well as cracks or crevices
where ants may enter structure.

of 1 ounce per 1800 square feet.
FIRE ANTS AND OTHER MOUND BUILDING ANTS
Sprinkle approximately two tablespoons (1 ounce ) of bait around

may not feed on the bait.
