INSECTICIDE fipronil (Goliath Gel) 4x35 g

Definition

Insecticide gel enabling fast and thorough elimination of cockroaches in health facilities, housing and warehouses.

Cockroaches are harmful to public health.

Cockroaches are a hygiene problem in human habitation because they breed in the most hidden places and get everywhere, while disseminating bacteria that can infect people (enterobacter, staphylococcus, salmonella etc.). In particular they have the habit of regurgitating and defecating in places where they look for food. Cockroaches have been found on the faces of sleeping people, feeding on eye secretions, and even in the open mouths of people who are snoring.

Packaging & Labelling

Box containing 4 ready-to-use 35 g cartridges (1000 drops per cartridge), complete with applicator and needles.

Instructions for use

The use of Goliath gel should be part of an integrated cockroach control campaign, including measures such as intensive cleaning and proper storage of food.

Insert the cartridge into the applicator and attach the application tip to the end of the cartridge.

Goliath gel has to be applied in the infested area as small spots of 0.03 gram (3-4 mm in diameter).

Apply 2 spots of gel per m2. Apply spots on locations frequented by cockroaches, such as foraging and eating areas.

Good areas are typically dark, damp, warm areas that remain undisturbed. Examples of good areas to apply are:

  • Under washbasins, sinks (in corners, on the plumbing)
  • Under tables, bedside tables and shelves
  • Under beds
  • On windowsills/ at corners
  • Inside cracks on the wall
  • Behind fridges, refrigerators
  • In toilets, behind the flush tank, behind plumbing
  • Electrical control boxes
  • Ducting

Do not apply on surfaces used for preparation of food. Do not apply on surfaces that are likely to become wet or submerged.

Application is best to be performed after a general cleaning.

24 hours after application, inspect all areas where gel has been placed. In case gel has been eaten, re- apply on the spot. Make sure all dead cockroaches are disposed of.

Repeat application after deep cleaning of treated area.

See in book "Public Health Engineering in Precarious Situations", MSF, 2nd edition, 2010, chapter T.B 7.09 Cockroaches for more information, or contact your WHS technical referent if in doubt.
