The Maxforce FC Roach Stations can last up to 1 year if there is still bait left inside. The stations have a translucent plastic top so you can see the bait tray inside. In a bad roach infestation, roaches can eat the bait in as little time as 1 or 2 weeks. You should replace the station once the bait is gone, or if you feel the station has become contaminated. Otherwise, as long as there is still bait inside, it will be good for one year.
Maxforce FC Roach Bait Stations (72 count) should be replaced every couple weeks or when bait is gone. The actual bait is the white paste in the center.
According to the manufacturer, there should only be 24 Maxforce FC Roach Bait Stations used in a home at a time because too much of the active ingredient in an area can confuse the roaches. They should be placed 4-6 stations per 100 square feet. This will allow them a sufficient amount of space between the stations so that the roaches will ingest the bait.
The Maxforce FC Roach Bait Stations are prefilled with bait gel already. The roach bait gels in the tubes are applied directly to cracks and crevices.
We do dont suggest placing Maxforce FC Roach Bait Stations directly on counter tops. You can instead place them in the following areas:
It sounds like your roach population is decreasing and there isn’t as much roach activity as there was, so less bait will be consumed from the Maxforce FC Roach Bait Stations, and there will be less activity in areas. The nesting area may be closer to the refrigerator so the roaches don’t have to go far to locate a food source. You may try moving the bait stations that you’re not seeing in activity in to areas with known roach activity.
