Boric Acid Powder (Borid)
Nature's proven insecticide..! Borid Boric Acid Powder (99% - Orthoboric Acid, 1% - Inert Ingredients) is light blue, odorless, and nonstaining. Delivers long lasting results against cockroaches, ants (excluding carpenter ants), silverfish and termites. May also be used for preventive treatment of cockroaches and drywood termites. 16 oz. squeeze bottle with pointed applicator tip provides easy application.
Note: Boric Acid, a white powder, is mined from the Mojave Desert in California. It works very well against insects, but is less toxic to humans and pets than table salt.
Directions for use:
Apply directly on carpets where pets frequently traffic or sleep at the rate of 1.5 pounds per 150 square feet. Work powder deep into fibers and mat. Any powder visible after application must be brushed into carpet fibers or vacuumed. Allow to remain for a period of three weeks to achieve maximum flea control in carpets. Sprinkle around baseboards, under and behind refrigerator, stove, sink, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Also, sprinkle into openings around drain pipes and electrical conduits, and in cracks and crevices along baseboards and corners of cabinets, cupboards and closets. Insects walk through the dust, ingest it, and die within hours.
