Product Details

Available Packs: 35 g, 5 g
Product Type: Public Health
Formulation: Gel or paste concentrate (PC)
Active Ingredient(s): Fipronil 0.005 g/kg
Mode of Action: Systemic
Target (Pests/Disease/Weeds) : Cockroaches
Application Rate: 2 – 3 spots per sq. metre

Mode of Action

Fipronil disrupts the insect’s central nervous system by blocking the passage of chloride ions through the GABA receptor, an inhibitor of the central nervous system. This causes hyper excitation of contaminated insects’ nerves and muscles.

Application Guide

Apply at least 2-3 spots per m² increasing the number of spots, (up to 5/m²) in cases of heavy infestation. A recommended spot size is approximately 5 mm diameter (0.1g).

Apply Tormentor® 0.05% GEL Bait in areas where cockroaches have been seen and where they hide. Cockroaches infest dark, warm, damp locations.

Single application of Tormentor® 0.05% GEL provides rapid and effective control of cockroaches. Repeat application after 2 months to control small cockroaches which have just been hatched.
