A liquid is preferable. Boric acid has no knockdown & vacuming is part of the treatment. You want something that goes down deep & won't get sucked up. Some of the furniture will have to be treated as wqell, but aerosols for that are effective.
yes it dehydrates them yes it dehydrates them
No! Get Pronto Plus. Keep it away from cats. Just use a little. Don't
go crazy. Keep checking folds on any furniture (sofa,etc) that has fabric.
Sleep tight.
1/2 cup to a gallon of water ! Works well after about 5 days ! you will notice it working within hours. It has to kill the larvae and the new hatclings too !
yes
yes!
The type of powder that is used to kill bees is called boric acid. Boric acid also works will for killing beetles and roaches.
One way to get rid of roaches is to sprinkle boric acid around your cupboards, sinks, and any cracks that you may have. The boric acid is a natural way to repel them. If your infestation is bad, you may have to call an exterminator to kill them with professional grade chemicals.
I've read that Cat nip and Bay leaves are an effective repellent. Also, Boric acid is supposed to kill all roaches because they take the boric acid back to their nests...
NO! Boric acid can be quite toxic. Talk to the vet about the best way to handle this, they have some medicines that are safe, but this is no time to try anything without medical supervision.
People would often use boric acid to kill ants. Yes, boric acid could kill a cat as it contains harmful toxins.
Killing ants with boric acid.
Yes... I just killed something with boric acid.
You can buy Boric Acid in Wal-Mart and similar stores. It is usually in the first aid section. Do not buy Borax, which is not the same thing and will not kill fleas.
Bleach and hot water mixed together will kills some ants outside in your yard,however, it won't get to the source of the problem and kill the colony. Boric acid would be much stronger to eradicate an ant problem.
I don't know about that, but burnt motor oil will. It will be messy, but it works.
Kind of, it mostly keeps them from coming/coming back. Edit: Borax is the active ingredient in a number of commercial ant killing products, including Terro Liquid Ant Baits. It interferes with their metabolism, but kills relatively slowly, so that the bait is transported back to the colony and distributed to other ants. I don't know what concentration of household borax would be required to kill pests, but the stuff IS used commercially for this purpose. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some places on the internet say to mix 20 Mule Team borax with sugar. I always found it was sufficient just to sprinkle some in their trails without mixing it with anything. It takes about a week. I had ants in the kitchen this spring. I found what I assume WAS the nest, but I have no more ants. Is all I did is sprinkle some borax along the kitchen baseboards. This doesn't work with carpenter ants in my experience.
It will but it's nasty stuff, however they will scatter all over the place and you will need a mask, your best bet is boric acid, it's slow but it works well and they can't tell it's there. It's also completely organic and if it stays dry, lasts literally forever, while the others break down.
