Maxforce Platin is a clothianidin-based ready to use insecticidal gel bait for the control of cockroaches and silverfish, in the various stages of their development (nymphs and adults).

The new active ingredient Clothianidin, helps avoid building resistance of actives other than neonicotinoids. Maxforce® Platin has also introduced BlueBead technology, this feeding stimulant ensures an excellent long lasting palatability. The new BlueBead taste enhancers are particulary attractive to feeding nymphs. The use of Clothianidin, alongside the newly introduced BlueBead technology tackles this problem head on to give pest controllers a unique tool in combating cockroaches and grey silverfish.
Great Secondary Control
The gel can be transferred from one cockroach to another beacause non-treated survivors can eat the dead bodies or faeces of individuals that have previously fed on the gel. The is known as the 'Domino Effect' and it enables Maxforce® Platin to control even those cockroaches that remain hidden within harbourages.
Cockroaches
For maximum effectiveness the biocidal product must be placed in and around cockroach harbourages and, if possible, between these areas and food sources. In addition, for an optimal effectiveness, all natural sources of food palatable for cockroaches must be removed from the infested area to encourage the consumption of the bait. The application rate is adjusted to the density of the infestation and the type of cockroach found.
| Cockroach Species: Against nymphs and adults | Application Rate per m² | Follow Up |
| Small Cockroaches i.e German Cockroaches (Blattella germanica) |
Moderate Infestation (cockroaches rarely visible during the day): 0.1 g/ m² Severe infestation (cockroaches commonly visible during the day): 0.2 g/m² - using 2 spots of 0.1 g/m² |
The gel baits must stay in place at least 14 days for optimal efficacy. One month after, new fresh gel baits can be reapplied if cockroaches are still visible. |
