Your Do-It-Yourself Pest Control Solution

MAXFORCE® FC Professional Insect Control® Ant Bait Stations contain a patented bait formulation which kills Pharaoh ants and other common household ants: Argentine Ants, Carpenter Ants, Crazy Ants, Pavement Ants, Cornfield Ants, Odorous House Ants, Acrobat Ants and Thief Ants. When properly used, MAXFORCE® FC Professional Insect Control® Ant Bait Stations will attract foraging worker ants. The ants will feed on the bait, which contains the active ingredient Fipronil. Then, the worker ants will take some of this bait back to the nest, where they will pass it on to destroy the queen and the entire colony.
MAXFORCE® FC Professional Insect Control® Ant Bait Stations will kill both adult and larval ant forms.

Do not use residual sprays with or near the MAXFORCE® FC Professional Insect Control® Ant Bait Stations, as the worker ants must remain alive to carry the bait back to the queen and immature workers. Residual sprays may cause worker ants to spread out and form secondary colonies. MAXFORCE® FC Professional Insect Control® Ant Bait Stations work because it is non-repellent and thus will not cause secondary colony formation.

MAXFORCE® FC Professional Insect Control® Ant Bait Stations have no insecticide odor, are child-resistant and easy to use. The patented bait station design allows you to inspect each bait placement and monitor the amount of ant feeding. They may be used for the control of ants in hospitals, nursing homes, day care centers, schools, residential establishments, warehousing and commercial establishments, food service, food manufacturing and food processing facilities, laboratories, computer and electronic equipment facilities, pet shops, zoos, buses, boats, aircraft, and trains.

MAXFORCE FC Professional Insect Control® Ant Bait Stations contain Fipronil, [a [new] active ingredient] which kills ants by ingestion and contact. In the process of ingestion or contact, Fipronil [the active ingredient] acts by blocking the GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid) receptor chloride channel. Once chloride ions cannot pass through the channel, depolarization ensues resulting in continued release of excitatory transmitters and hyperexcitation of the neuron. Worker ants that have been contaminated feed the bait to the larvae in the colony. The larvae digest the solid bait and produce a liquid that contains fipronil that they feed to the rest of the colony and queen(s). This Maxforce Domino EffectTM eliminates the entire colony.
