When using the Maxforce Refillable Buffet Stations, it would depend on the product you are using inside of them how far apart you would place them. For instance, if you are using the Maxforce Complete Granular Bait that would cover both roaches and ants you use it at a rate of .5 oz (one tablespoon) of bait per 25 linear feet to get the best coverage. Other baits would have different usage rates, and you would need to refer to the label in each of those products to get that specific usage rate.
You can clean refillable bait stations such as the Maxforce Refillable Buffet Stations with warm water. You could perhaps use a very mild soap if needed, but we do not recommend using anything fragranced on bait stations since that fragrance could linger and interfere with the palatability of any bait used inside the stations.
The Maxforce Refillable Buffet Stations may be placed in a veritical position depending on what type of bait you are using.
For German Roaches, a combination of products are required along with repeat treatments every 14 days. The Maxforce Refillable Buffet Station Box (48 stations) could be used to place roach bait gel placements in but do not contain any active ingredient/product to kill insects.
