Maxforce FC Ant Bait Stations are the ideal solution for killing and controlling ant infestations in residential and commercial areas. The stations contain a granular bait with an active ingredient that starts to work within six hours of ingestion. It's a protein-based bait, so consider combining it with a sugar-based gel to get rid of ants that may change their diet while using the stations.
How Maxforce FC Works
Maxforce FC works not only by ingestion but also by contact, providing quick control and secondary kills through the transfer effect, also called the Maxforce Domino Effect. Once the insects consume the bait containing fipronil, the ingredient targets the central nervous system and causes paralysis. However, it works slowly, giving the insects time to go back to the nest and infect other members through direct contact and bait sharing.
Where to Use Maxforce Ant Bait Stations
Use Maxforce FC Ant Bait Stations indoors to target ants where they have been seen. They can be used by homeowners to keep ants out of the cabinets and pantries and by professional pest control experts as a second line of defense when using sprays. However, avoid spraying the area where the baits are placed. The workers must remain alive to carry the bait back to the nest and infect other members, including the young and the queen. Use the stations in offices, warehouses and other interior spaces to kill and control a variety of ant species.
Target Pests
Because Maxforce FC stations use a protein-based bait, they're not effective against sugar ants or other species that favor sweets. Use the baits alongside a sugar-based gel for maximum control. These bait stations target other invasive ants like acrobat and Argentine ants, as well as Rasberry crazy ants that invade appliances and electronics. The baits are highly effective against odorous house ants and pavement ants.
Maxforce FC Features and Benefits
The Maxforce Domino Effect provides maximum results in as little as six hours. Complete ant control is achieved in just a few days. The bait is irresistible to ants and works by contact and ingestion, killing the workers and finally the queen, resulting in a total collapse of the ant colony. Some features and benefits of Maxforce FC include:
- Loosely packed stations keep the bait fresher for longer.
- Sticky adhesive makes it easy to keep the station in place.
- Three stations are enough to control ants in the kitchen.
- 90 percent of the ant population is controlled in four days.
