    Q How long does Maxforce FC Magnum take to work? answer now
    Asked on December 16, 2025 8:48 PM
    A Maxforce FC Magnum begins working within hours after cockroaches consume the bait. Most users notice a visible reduction in roach activity within 24–48 hours, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-harboring areas. Significant population decline typically occurs within 3–7 days, while complete control of heavier infestations may take 7–10 days, depending on sanitation conditions and competing food sources. Maxforce FC Magnum contains fipronil, a slow-acting, non-repellent active ingredient that allows roaches to return to their hiding places before dying. This delayed action creates a strong secondary transfer effect, as other roaches are exposed through contact, grooming, and fecal matter. This makes Maxforce FC Magnum especially effective at eliminating hidden roaches, not just the ones you see. For best results, apply small bait placements near cracks, crevices, appliances, plumbing penetrations, and wall voids, and avoid using repellent sprays nearby, as they can interfere with bait acceptance.

    Q How long does Maxforce FC Magnum take to work? answer now
    Asked on December 15, 2025 6:30 AM
    A Maxforce FC Magnum begins killing roaches within just a few hours of ingestion. Most users notice a visible reduction in roach activity in 24 to 48 hours, and complete control of the infestation is typically achieved in 3 to 7 days, depending on colony size and sanitation conditions. Because the bait uses a transfer effect, even roaches that don’t feed directly on the gel can be affected through contact with contaminated nestmates, spreading the control throughout the population.
