Complete roach treatment  includes two primary parts: Sanitation and Preparation, and the Application of Products. You will want to Inspect  for where roaches are hiding and breeding so that you know where to concentrate your energy. Next, prepare for treatment by eliminating food and water sources and reducing and sealing off harborage areas. After performing these crucial preparation steps, you are ready to apply the products in your Roach Control Kit.

STEP 1: Baiting - Maxforce FC Magnum Bait Gel and VectorFog DH1 Gel Bait Gun

*To use a Maxforce FC Magnum tube, remove the closed tip by gently unscrewing it, and replace it with one of the included reuseable open tips. Use the VectorFog DH1 Gel Bait Gun to dispense the gel.

*It is helpful to have a paper towel on hand to wipe excess bait from the gun between bait applications.

*Apply small bait placements approximately ¼ inch in diameter directly to cracks and crevices where roaches are most likely to encounter it. Ideal bait placements include:

• Behind kitchen cabinets and counter tops.
• Behind wall hangings such as pictures, clocks, or posters
• Behind, next to, and under the stove.
• In the corners up under the sink and other cabinets.
• In stored paper bags and boxes.
• Around pipes, cords, and cables that come out of the wall.
• Behind and under bathroom fixtures.
• Behind the medicine cabinet and vanity.
• In any cracks or crevices around shelves or wood
• in corners and under railing in and on drawers.

*Do not apply bait in spots where you have used or plan to use insecticide sprays.

*Smaller, more frequent bait placements are better accepted than fewer, larger placements.

*Use up to 1.5 grams of bait (15 x 0.1gm placements) per square yard for light to moderate infestations.

*Use up to 3.0 grams of bait (30 x 0.1gm placements) per square yard for severe infestations.

*After application, replace the open tip with the closed tip to keep bait fresh, and store in a cool, dry place out of reach of children or pets.

*Reapply bait every 2-3 weeks or when placements appear to be gone.

STEP 2: Insect Growth Regulator and Insecticide Concentrate - Gentrol IGR Concentrate and Temprid FX Insecticide Concentrate

*Both the Gentrol IGR and the Temprid FX must be diluted with water and applied with a pump sprayer. These products may be diluted in the same tank and applied together to save time.

*For Temprid FX, use 16 mL of concentrate per gallon of water for initial treatment, and then use 8 mL of concentrate per gallon of water for follow-up treatments or maintenance.

*For Gentrol IGR, use 1 x 1 oz. bottle of concentrate per gallon of water.

*To make spray solution, shake Temprid FX well before diluting. Add approximately 1/3 - 1/2 of the total required water to your spray tank, then add the desired amounts of concentrates. Shake or agitate the mixture, add remaining water, then shake or agitate the mixture before spraying.

*Apply spray mixture as a spot or crack and crevice treatment where roaches have been seen or can find shelter or entry. Application sites may include:

• Entry points such as around doors, windows, and water pipes.
• Areas where roaches travel such as baseboards and corners.
• Areas where roaches hide such as behind or under refrigerators, stoves, and sinks.

*Do not apply on top of bait placements or where bait placements may be made. As a general rule, spray low, and bait high.

*Keep pets and children out of the treatment area until the spray is dry.

*Do not spray food handling surfaces or in ways in which food or utensils may be contaminated with the spray.

*If diluted spray is stored overnight, agitate before using. Only dilute what you plan to use within 24 hours of mixing. Gentrol IGR solution alone should be used within 48 hours of dilution.

*Temprid FX may be reapplied as needed every 7-10 days. Gentrol IGR will persist much longer; repeat Gentrol IGR spray every 4 months for roach control.

STEP 3: Be Patient

*Complete roach control may take from a few weeks up to six months, depending on the size of the population and your diligence with good sanitation practices. Large populations do not appear overnight, so they will not be eliminated overnight.

*You can purchase separately the Catchmaster Insect Monitor Glue Boards to track your progress:

• Separate each card along the perforated lines to create three smaller boards from each larger card.
• Fold each trap gently to create a right triangle shape. Remove the adhesive covering on the angled top tab, then firmly press the logoed panel to the adhesive, creating a secure triangle trap with three openings.
• Carefully remove the interior paper to expose the glue surface inside the trap.
• Place glue traps in areas where you have found roaches to hide, travel, or breed, such as in and under cabinets, behind toilets, under appliances, and in corners. If desired, remove the cover sheet on the bottom of each trap to expose the adhesive. Press firmly to a clean, dry surface to secure traps in place.
• Monitor traps weekly to check your progress.
• Replace traps if full of roaches, dust, or other debris.

*Reapply products according to the instructions above until the roaches are eliminated.

*For situations requiring treatments over several months, rotate your baits using alternatives such as Invict Gold Roach Bait Gel and Advion Roach Bait Gel.
