For indoor use only.

Aplication rates: Bait application equal approximatly 0,25-0,5 g / spot and 10 to 20 spot/ 10m2 - A soit of approximatley 3 mm diameter equates to 0,25 g of bait -A soit of approximatley 6 mm diameter equates to 0,5 g of bait   -Low infestation: cockroaches barely visible during the day -High infestation: cockroaches commonly visible during the day

• Do not apply more than once a month.

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

Silverfish:
For use against grey silverfish: Place many small drops in areas where grey silverfish hide and live. These
areas may be under or behind base/skirting boards, under wooden panelling or other areas that provide cover.

Grey Silverfish (Ctenolepisma longicaudatum) - 0.1422g/m2 - The gel baits must stay in place at least 8 weeks for optimal efficacy. If grey silverfishes are still visible, new fresh gel baits can be reapplied.

Please note:
* 0.1g ≈ 1 drop of 7mm
** The application rate 0.1422 g/m² corresponds to approximately 20 spots of 3mm diameter per sqm or 65 drops of 2 mm diameter per sqm (1 drop of 2 mm diameter ≈ 0.002g, 1 drop of 3 mm diameter drop ≈ 0.007g).

GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Maxforce Platin is dispensed using a suitable gel applicator. When the treatment has been completed
remove the empty cartridge and dispose of safely. If the cartridge is only partially used, remove it from
the applicator, seal it with the end cap provided and store as directed.
Before treatment, the professional user must survey the area to be treated in order to identify sites of
cockroach and grey silverfish infestation e.g. by using traps and/or flush-out aerosols, searching for
droppings, cask skins and egg cases etc.
Maxforce Platin is to be placed as spot treatment in the vicinity of corners, cracks and crevices
(e.g. behind or under equipment and furniture like counters, refrigerators, cookers, sinks, baths etc.),
voids, service-ducts, lift shafts, pipework etc.
Maxforce Platin is particularly valuable in sensitive areas where the use of conventional insecticide
formulations is restricted e.g. in the vicinity of electric and electronic equipment etc. Where migration of
cockroaches has been identified, placement of additional bait in peripheral areas of the site will aid
control.
Some sensitive materials e.g. textiles may be stained by the product. If in doubt, apply to a small,
inconspicuous area first.
Not for maintenance usage.
Do not apply in animal pens and cages.
READ ALL PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE
INFORM THE REGISTRATION HOLDER IF THE TREATMENT IS INEFFECTIVE
DO NOT APPLY ON ABSORBENT SURFACES
DO NOT EXPOSE BAIT DROPS TO SUNLIGHT OR HEAT SOURCES
PROTECT FROM RAIN

Further Information:
An effect on the cockroach population can be expected very quickly with dead cockroaches evident
within 24 hours of treatment.
Maximum levels of control are achieved between six days and 2 months after treatment depending upon
the level of infestation and as long as the gel is present. Where infestations are high, inspect the applied
spots of the biocidal product regularly (once a month) and make further applications as required.
However do not apply more than once a month.
Resistance Management:
The following resistance management measures should be used (but should not be restricted to) the
following factors:
• Good sanitation procedures and all other measures that prevent infestations from developing
(i.e. non-chemical measures) have to be established.
• Products should always be used in accordance with label recommendations, in terms of dose to be
applied and treatment intervals. The effective dose must be applied and no higher or lower doses.
• Treatments should be alternated with products with different modes of action, i.e. avoid rotating
different neonicotinoids. It is advisable to avoid using Maxforce Platin exclusively and continuously as
the sole agent for cockroach control. Maxforce Platin should be used as one component of an
integrated pest management program which features gel formulations with different food bases, and
products from alternative chemical classes with different application methods.
• Levels of effectiveness should be monitored (periodic checks), and instances of reduced effectiveness
should be investigated for possible evidence of resistance, noting that sanitary conditions and
proximity of untreated refuges can contribute to the risk of re-infestation.
• In cases where label rates, correctly applied, fail to give the expected level of control and resistance
is demonstrated, use of any product with the same mode of action especially neonicotinoids should be
avoided.
• If signs of resistance begin to appear (as indicated either by control failures or through the test
procedure) then every effort should be made to eradicate the population. The measures necessary for
eradication will vary in different situations; they may involve a number of procedures using both
chemical and non-chemical measures.
STORAGE:
Do not allow to freeze.
Keep in a safe place.
Shelf life at ambient temperature: 2 years
DISPOSAL:
Removal of old baits/gel spots has to be done by a professional pest control operator.
Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulation.
Unwanted gel can be removed when freshly applied by sponging with a 5% sodium chloride solution.
Sponges/tissues used should be disposed of as solid waste.
Aged gel can be removed with spatulas and disposed of as solid waste.
FIRST AID
