Roachbait
Technical Content
- Active Ingredient: Fipronil 0.05% Gel
- Category: Household Insecticide (Ready-to-Use gel bait)
How It Works
The gel system is compact and easy to use. The cartridge can be used with the Arbuda Gel Applicator Gun, which facilitates precision dosing — at every shot, 0.03 gm of Fipronil gel is released. It's important to identify the cockroach species because this influences the spot size of the gel bait: smaller German cockroaches need a 3–4 mm diameter dot, while larger American cockroaches need a 6 mm diameter dot, to account for their greater consumption of the gel. The level of infestation determines how many spots should be applied in cracks, crevices, and other common cockroach areas. The area to be treated should be calculated based on the surface area of the site, not the floor area.
