MAC Slay Cockroach Bait is a professional-grade, non-toxic solution designed for the total elimination of cockroach colonies in sensitive environments. Formulated to be MPI Compliant, this highly palatable bait gel is the gold standard for integrated pest management (IPM) in food processing plants, commercial kitchens, and hospitals where traditional spraying is prohibited.
The advanced formula of MAC Slay Cockroach Bait utilizes a “Transfer Effect,” where foraging cockroaches consume the bait and return to their harborages, spreading the active ingredient to the rest of the colony, including nymphs. This ensures the destruction of the nest at its source rather than just killing individual insects. Specifically effective against German, American, and Oriental cockroaches, this non-repellent bait remains moist and attractive for extended periods, providing long-term protection for NZ businesses and homes.
FAQ’s:
What makes MAC Slay Cockroach Bait 30g effective against cockroaches in New Zealand homes and businesses?
MAC Slay Cockroach Bait 30g is specially formulated to deliver targeted, fast, and reliable control of all major cockroach species found in New Zealand, including German, American, and Oriental cockroaches. Its professional-grade active ingredient is designed for quick knockdown as well as long-lasting residual protection, ensuring that both visible and hidden infestations are treated at their source.
Unlike sprays that may only affect visible insects, the bait works by attracting cockroaches to consume it and then return to their nest, spreading the active ingredient among other colony members through grooming and shared food sources. This unique transfer effect means MAC Slay Cockroach Bait can help eliminate entire infestations—not just individual pests—making it a preferred solution for busy kitchens, food-processing plants, schools, warehouses, and domestic environments.
Its compact, syringe-style tube enables precise placement in cracks, crevices, and other cockroach harbourages. This is especially important for public health facilities, childcare centres, and food-handling zones where thorough control is required but chemical exposure must be minimised.

How should MAC Slay Cockroach Bait be applied for maximum effectiveness and safety?
For best results, always read and follow the application instructions provided with the product. Start by identifying active cockroach routes and hiding places—typically under sinks, behind fridges, inside electrical cabinets, or in cracks near floor edges and cupboards. Clean the area before baiting, removing food debris and possible water sources.
Apply small dabs (about the size of a pea) every 1–2 metres along walls, under appliances, and in dark, undisturbed areas where cockroaches are likely to travel. In high-infestation areas, increase the number of bait placements. Avoid spraying insecticides or cleaning agents near bait placements, as these can deter cockroaches from feeding.
Check and refresh bait placements every two weeks or sooner if consumed. Properly used, the bait will start controlling cockroach populations within 24–48 hours, with visible reduction in activity often seen in a matter of days.
MAC Slay Cockroach Bait is MPI approved for use in food-handling and sensitive environments, supporting compliance with food safety and public health standards. For safe use guidelines in workplaces, see MPI’s Official Pest Control Guidelines.
