In most locations, Bait Stations and Gel placements can be used interchangeably. Having both products available gives you the flexibility to apply the more appropriate product to each specific site. Keep the following advantages of each bait form in mind when determining the appropriate product for each micro environment.

BAIT STATIONS
* Offer greater protection of bait from contamination by cleaning products, other pesticides or by dust and dirt, resulting in a longer residual.
* Provide more bait per placement than Gel for heavily infested areas - 1.5gms per station versus 0.5gms(high rate) for Gel.
* Easier to inspect and monitor for feeding activity.
* Can be dated for easy monitoring - write date on bottom label, or use a grease pencil to date the top of station - MAXFORCE Bait Stations will remain effective for up to a year, or until bait is completely consumed.
* Labeled for use in commercial food handling establishments.
BAIT GEL
* Can be placed directly into small cracks, crevices, and voids that harbor Roaches.
* Easy to hide so bait placements will not be noticeable.
* Can be applied in very small size bait placements, if necessary. Smaller, more frequent Gel placements provide faster control than larger, less frequent placements.
* Offers lower cost per placement than Bait stations.
* A correct application of ATTRAX Roach Killer Bait usually lasts 1 year
GENERAL BAITING TIPS
* Apply bait in areas of greatest insect activity - inside the harborage or within 10-12 inches of the harborage or travel route.
* If a bait placement is consumed completely, reapply bait in the same spot. Roaches leave behind secretions and droppings to attract other Roaches to good food sources and to safe harborages.
* Bait Stations act as monitoring devices as well as control agents. Inspect Bait Stations the same way as you would a Rodent Bait station. Look for evidence of bait consumption and droppings to verify activity and identify problem areas.
* Be careful not to contaminate Baits with conventional pesticides or cigarette smoke, which can reduce bait acceptance.

APPLICATION TIP
Remove adhesive backing from MAXFORCE Roach Bait Stations for easy placement. However, Bait Stations may not adhere well to rough surfaces such as concrete, stucco or textured walls. A small daub of silicon caulk or putty on the bottom of the station will help to hold it in place.

Resistance Management
For resistance management, please note that MAXFORCE Roach Killer and Ant Killer Baits contain HYDRAMETHYLNON - a Group 20 insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to HYDRAMETHYLNON and other Group 20 insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides is used repeatedly in the same field.
Where possible, rotate the use of MAXFORCE with insecticides from a different group.
and,for Ants DRAX Ant Killer Bait, to which products there is no known resistance.
