RESULTS DEVELOP OVER TIME.
Killing Max is a ready-to-use insecticide spray effective against 14 pests, including lesser mealworms. In an unoccupied area, identify edges where the beetles travel and hide. Target suitable floor, crack and equipment surfaces around litter, not animals or feed.
- 01
INSPECT THE UNOCCUPIED AREA
Identify hiding places in floor cracks, corners and under equipment.
- 02
CONTACT WITH TREATED SURFACES
A lesser mealworm encounters the product as it travels along a treated edge or around a crack.
- 03
THE EFFECT DEVELOPS OVER TIME
Increased activity may be seen initially; this indicates that the product has started to take effect. Pest movement then begins to decrease.
- 24HOURS
PESTS DIE
The pests die within 24 hours.
WHERE SHOULD IT BE APPLIED?
Target hiding places and travel routes together.
- 01
Floor cracks
Concrete cracks and surrounding gaps where lesser mealworms hide or travel.
- 02
Wall and column bases
Wall–floor junctions, column edges and suitable travel routes.
- 03
Under equipment and around feet
Lower equipment edges, around feet and narrow gaps in the unoccupied area.
- 04
Corners and sheltered areas
Corners and hard surfaces near accumulated litter where hiding is observed.
- 05
Edges around litter
Suitable hard floor edges crossed by beetles emerging from litter; do not target animals or feed.
Representative lesser mealworm treatment scene. Markers show suitable nearby surfaces; observe actual travel routes and hiding places in your area.

If litter beetles reappear
MONITOR LITTER EDGES AND
AREAS UNDER EQUIPMENT
TOGETHER.
- Beetles may be emerging from another edge around the litter.
- A floor crack or area around an equipment foot may have been missed.
- The open floor may have been treated without targeting narrow hiding gaps.
- Newly seen beetles may not have come into contact with treated surfaces.
Note the edges where beetles are seen; check litter boundaries, cracks and areas under equipment together. A continuing problem may need a more comprehensive assessment.
