General Instructions General Instructions
AMDRO Cockroach Gel is a gel bait which must be consumed by cockroaches for effectiveness. AMDRO Cockroach Gel may be used as a spot or crack and crevice treatment for the control of cockroaches in and around homes, institutional, warehousing and commercial establishments, including hospitals, laboratories, computer facilities, sewers, buses and other transport vehicles or vessels, pet shops, and zoos.
Gel placements should be at or near harborages or aggregation areas, such as cracks and crevices, corners, or areas of movement. Use locations include undersurfaces only of tables, counters, shelving, drawers, and sinks and around pipe collars, above suspended ceilings, inside electrical boxes, adjacent or under trash receptacles and carts, under and behind stoves and refrigerators, under drain plates and around electrical equipment and machines. Priority treatment areas may be identified by visual inspection of such areas listed above or aided by trapping techniques or spot flushings. Pest population reduction will be apparent within a week or less. Cockroaches become lethargic after ingesting the bait and some may be seen during daylight hours.
Application
Remove the cap from the nozzle, touch tip to surface and apply. The bait will adhere to non-greasy or non-dusty surfaces and will remain palatable to cockroaches as long as it is visibly present. Re-capping the application tip after treatment is required to preserve bait freshness. Re-apply when bait is no longer visibly present, according to the remaining level of infestation, which is generally at a lower rate than the initial treatment. A visual inspection of bait placements is recommended at one week after the initial treatment where high infestations are being treated. Reapplication should be made if the bait is visibly depleted. Numerous smaller placements will provide faster control than few larger spots, especially for German cockroach control.
Restraints Do NOT use in areas accessible to children and pets. Do NOT use in exposed areas which may be washed. Do NOT use near open food and food contact surfaces. Do NOT use this product on or around electrical equipment due to the possibility of electrical shock. Do NOT apply gel to areas which have been recently sprayed with insecticides, or spray insecticides over gel placements, as this may cause the bait to become repellent. Do NOT apply to surfaces where the temperature exceeds 54?C.
Resistance Warning For insecticide resistance management AMDRO Cockroach Gel is a Group 20A Insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to AMDRO Cockroach Gel and other Group 20A Insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if AMDRO Cockroach Gel or other Group 20A Insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of AMDRO Cockroach Gel on resistant individuals can be significantly reduced.
Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, BASF Australia Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from failure of AMDRO Cockroach Gel to control resistant insects. AMDRO Cockroach Gel may be subject to specific resistance management strategies.
