How Maxforce Complete Insecticide Works Maxforce Complete granular bait Insecticide contains the active ingredient hydramethylnon. This slow-acting chemical acts on the insect's nervous system and causes nerve excitation, leading to fatigue and paralysis before the insect dies. It takes around 24 hours for the poison to run its course, giving the insect plenty of time to take the bait back to the colony and to infect other members. The formulation includes proteins, sugars and fats to tempt the insects as they travel in the target area.
