What is Fipronil?
Fipronil is a broad spectrum insecticide that disrupts the insect central nervous system by blocking the passage of chloride ions through the GABA receptor and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels, components of the central nervous system.
Fipronil is a slow acting poison. When mixed with a cockroach gel, it allows the poisoned insect time to return to the colony or harborage. In cockroaches, the faeces and carcass can contain sufficient residual pesticide to kill others in the same nesting site. In ants, the sharing of the bait among colony members assists in the spreading of the poison throughout the colony. With the cascading effect, the projected kill rate is about 95% in three days for ants and cockroaches.
These residual pesticides turn the infected cockroaches and their fluids, into bait themselves. These slow acting poisons, when mixed with a bait, allow the poisoned insect time to return to the colony or harborage and infect others. Larger placements should be made when populations are high.
- A plastic applicator tip is the best choice when applying Maxforce Gold around electrical equipment.
- Gels may stain some textiles and porous surfaces. Where this could be a problem, apply Maxforce Gold into cracks, crevices and hard to see places.
