Complete Brand Granular Insect Bait contains a special blend of foods, combined
with the delayed-action stomach poison, hydramethylnon. 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. When properly used, this bait will control many of the
following insects, including ants, cockroaches, crickets, and silverfish 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 ®
Complete Brand Granular Insect Bait, as it will reduce the
effectiveness. Expect to see fewer insects within a week.
*Do not use on other non-crop areas in California

FOR OUTDOOR USE
1. AROUND STRUCTURES: Maxforce ®
Complete Brand Granular Insect Bait may be sprinkled around structures and/or applied to refillable/serviceable bait stations as outlined below. Sprinkle this product 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. Be sure to treat areas such as porches, patios, driveways, sidewalks, flower gardens, landscape timbers and around trees, wood piles, air conditioning units and garbage receptacles. DO NOT USE ON EDIBLE FOOD CROPS OR ON AREAS INTENDED
FOR EDIBLE FOOD CROP PRODUCTION. Treat visible ant trails as well as cracks or crevices where insects (ants, roaches, crickets) may enter a structure.
REFILLABLE STATIONS: Maxforce ®
Complete Brand Granular Insect Bait may be placed into refillable tamper resistant bait stations.

Place up to 1 to 3 oz (2 to 6 Tbsp.) of bait into tamper resistant stations and close securely after application. During follow-up visits inspect placements and reapply as needed. Refillable tamper resistant stations should be placed every 20 to 30 feet around the perimeter of a structure. Use approximately 2 stations per side of a typical single family home.

For best results, place stations near: air conditioning units, water faucets, foundation vents and weep holes, decks, utility entryways
(e.g. electrical, cable TV) and wherever target pests are frequently found. Stations may also be placed along fence lines and property
lines to intercept foraging pests.
Regularly inspect all stations and replace bait as needed for continual control.
Position Refillable Bait Stations in areas where they will not be damaged by lawn equipment such as mowers and trimmers. If the
station is not equipped with a sticker to identify the contents, apply a sticker to the outside or inside of the station.
