Maxforce Fusion is the next generation gel against cockroaches, both large and small.  Incorporating for the first time, a patented fusion technology, known as TLC control (Total Life Cycle Control), containing a feeding stimulant and capsule technology within the gel matrix (blue beads). 

This unique feeding stimulant has been proven to dramatically decrease the percentage of nymphs in the population. The reduction is due to an increased direct consumption of bait by nymphs, resulting in a long term inability for populations to recover. Pick up your copy of  the Maxforce Fusion Technical Sheet at Bayer’s stand (5), and grab a Berocca Twist ‘N Go while you’re there!
