    Q
    Can Roaches become immune?
    I've purchased two bags now in the past 2-3 yrs of the MaxForce roach bait stations in the red bag. The last time was less then 9 mo ago and they've gotten bad again so is it an issue of them now immune to the chemicals in the red bag. If I purchased this type instead would it actually kill them as there is sadly no money back if the produce fails to work like last time :(
    A
    Roaches can become resistant to active ingredients if it is used non-stop over a long period of time and it is recommended that you rotate active ingredients to guard against such a situation. If you have a medium to heavy roach infestation then roach baits alone may not be able to keep up with the problem and you may need to add a couple of products to your treatment regiment. We recommend that you also use a high quality insecticide spray such as Demon WP mixed with an insect growth regulator such as Gentrol IGR. The Demon WP will quickly kill any roaches that come into contact with treated areas and the Gentrol IGR works like birth control and will help stop the roaches from reproducing. By adding these products to your treatment program you can get rid of the roaches faster.

    Q
    I have a couple cats that will eat dead roaches if the roaches have been in your product will it harm my cats
    A
    The chance of secondary poisoning from a cat eating a roach that has been in contact with roach baits is very, very slim. The cats would have to lots and lots of dead roaches in a very short period of time to be effected.

    Q
    Are the MaxForce Roach Bait Stations large enough to allow large Oriental Roaches to enter?
    We are seeing Oriental roaches in the basement, bathroom, and kitchen. I am wondering if this bait station will be large enough to allow entrance and access to the bait? I have purchased some through local retailers, but they were too small to accommodate this large roach, so I took them back. If this bait will not work for the Oriental roach, please make a recommendation. Thank you.
    A
    The MaxForce Roach Bait Stations are specifically made for smaller roaches such as the Brown-Banded or German roaches. When dealing with the larger roaches such as the Oriental Roaches it may be better to use a roach bait gel such as The Maxforce FC Magnum or the Advion Roach Bait Gel. You can apply the gel directly to cracks or crevices and you will not have to worry about whether or not the roach can fit into a station.

    Q
    I bought a Maxforce FC roach bait station and wanted to ask is this is safe to put on kitchen or pantry?
    Are the fumes from the bag and bait station safe if inhaled or smelled on the place like kitchen or pantry.
    A
    No fumes will leak into the air as the ingredients inside the stations are 90% food based ingredients just like what you would have in your pantry or cabinets. The toxicity level of the stations is only enough to harm something the size of a roach.

    Q
    Do Maxforce Roach Bait Stations work on palmetto bugs 2-3 inches in length?
    A
    No, the Maxforce Roach Bait Stations will not be able to accommodate the large American roach aka Palmetto bug. Most roach bait stations do not list this large roach on their label because they are too big to get into the stations. A good alternative bait would be the Dupont Advion Roach Bait Gel. You can put spots right into cracks and crevices where the roaches like to hide. We also recommend using and insect growth regulator to stop the reproduction cycle of the roaches while you are trying to get rid of them. You can find both products in our roach control kit # 1
