Dual Strike is a dual active roach bait that utilizes boric acid and fipronil to attract roaches and manage pest resistance. No population of insects is known to have developed resistance to borates. That means even if fipronil resistance is present, Dual Strike still performs. If the left hook doesn’t take them out, the right hook will! Strike twice!

For general cockroach control, apply pea-sized drops of bait close to cockroach harborage, foraging, and feeding areas, being sure to apply to enough locations that there will be sufficient bait supply between service visits
Dual Strike can remain attractive to cockroaches for over 3 months. It is ideally used as part of bait rotation system and in accordance with the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
Monitoring
Routine monitoring can improve the success of your cockroach control program. The strategic use of the small sticky trap can give you an idea on common cockroach populations, including adults and nymphs. These traps can be placed in corners behind drawers and in hidden areas behind equipment. For larger species of cockroaches, a larger glue board may be needed. These can be placed in out-of-the-way areas in attics, storage rooms and furnace rooms. Always document the locations of the sticky traps for easy reference and write a date of placement on the trap.
Customer Follow-up
Good communication with the customer is a key to success. To have the best control program possible, it is very important to have customer cooperation. Support your customer by encouraging them to be a partner in good sanitation and treatment strategy.
