Product Overview

The only way you will know you've sprayed Maxforce Fly Spot Bait is that your fly problems will disappear. And fast. It kills flies in 60 seconds or less. Plus, Maxforce Fly Spot Bait is easy to use--simply mix the bait with one pint of water in a sprayer, and spray surfaces near the fly infestation. Flies will be attracted to the bait and die within seconds. A small spot has up to a 6-week residual to control future intruders. It's labeled for use inside and outside commercial establishments and outside residential ones. Good for you. Bad for flies. One envelope is 2 oz. and makes 1 pint of finished solution that will treat up to 125 sq. ft.

Bayer is currently delayed on their production of the spray bottles that come with the Fly Spot Bait.  Current orders will NOT come with the accompanying spray bottle at this time.  The bait can be mixed and sprayed in a normal household spray bottle like the  Little Giant Professional Spray Bottle

    Be careful with application

    By John on 09/07/2011

    Due to the contents of this bait, surfaces sprayed can grow mold. Avoid spraying permant structures such as the side of your house. Spray on disposable material or containers that can be washed. House flies love the colors blue and black, so small squares of blue cardboard or other obsorbent materal work well, as well as things such as your garbage cans and recycle bins that can be washed. Also, mix up the smallest amount possible. I have had sucess in mixing up a spray bottle and re-shaking and using previously mixed up product, but I have been told that the mixed product should be used within 24 hours for optimum affect. This may mean that you might have to weigh out the product on a sensitive scale to get the right amount, e.g, 2 oz per 16oz of water would mean only 1/8 of that package (1/4 oz) in 2 oz of water in a micro spray bottle to treat everything you need to treat around your house and use up all the product at once. I try to spray blue peices of cardboard hanging in places where it does not get exposed to a lot of rain, such as under overhangs as well as inside my garbage can.

    Maxforce Fly Spot Bait

    By Gary on 08/28/2011

    We had an apocalyptic infestation of flies after the fields next to us were spread with cage house waste. The first wave came just after the spreading, the second larger wave after the next hatch. My son, who at the time worked for a pest control company recommended Maxforce. The first time we painted it on different surfaces. It worked, however we knew we had to do something bigger and better after the second wave of flies. We mixed it and put it in spray bottles. We sprayed a lot of surfaces and flies were dying by the thousands. We had to keep cleaning the porch and entrance ways with the gas blower to prevent dragging large amounts of dead flies into our home. The spray bottle application worked well.

    Best fly control bait ever!

    By John on 03/05/2011

    Verified Purchase

    I work for a large pest control company in Florida and this is the same product that they use. Last year, we had flies all over our trash cans and recycle bins because their colors attract house flies. Due to their high numbers, dozens would always get in with the doors being opened and closed all day long. This year, after applying on disposable material near the cans and on the inside of the garbage can (have to wash it now and then anyway), we have seen only one or two flies, and those were probably the ones that haven't died yet. I mixed up just a small part of the packet with 2 oz of water (mixed by directions), and I still have enough to last for a long time! Great product!
