- Kapter Fluogel is a professional, ready-to-use insecticide in the form of a highly attractive gel bait, designed to control cockroaches inside buildings and facilities. It is based on a neurotoxic active ingredient that acts on the cockroach nervous system after feeding on the bait, causing loss of activity and then death. The attractive gel formula encourages continued feeding and reduces cockroach numbers in hiding places over time. It is easy and precise to apply in cracks and corners, and contains a fluorescent dye that helps technicians track bait placements during professional control programs.

Directions for Use
- Use the gel ready to use, with no mixing or dilution, applied as small spots in cockroach activity areas:
- Light infestation
- One gel spot per 1 m².
- Medium to heavy infestation
- 2–3 spots per m² depending on infestation level.
Application Sites
- Cracks and corners.
- Behind electrical appliances (refrigerator – oven).
- Under sinks and kitchen cabinets.
- Near drains and moisture sources.
- 🔹 Re-inspect after 7–14 days.
- 🔹 Replace consumed spots when needed.
- 🔹 Do not spray any other insecticides over the gel or in the same treated areas.
- 🔹 Preferably do not clean or wash gel placement areas for 24 hours after application.
Precautions
- Use according to the approved label instructions and under the supervision of a qualified technician.
- Do not apply gel on surfaces in direct contact with food.
- Wear protective gloves during application.
- Wash hands thoroughly after finishing.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Avoid use near fish tanks or water sources.
Orkida Tip
- A temporary increase in cockroach activity may be noticed in the first days after application as they leave their hiding places; this is a normal sign that the bait is working.
- For the best lasting results, use Kapter Fluogel within an integrated control program that reduces food and moisture sources, seals cracks, avoids spray insecticides in the same treated areas, and includes regular follow-up until activity stops completely.
