NiBor-D Insecticide is commonly used on commercial kitchen floors but not residential floors as it has a green tint. Per the NiBor-D product label, “Mop Solution: This is to be used as a supplemental treatment in conjunction with other pest management practices and may be reapplied as necessary. Apply only to floors by mopping. Allow the mop solution to penetrate into cracks and crevices in the tile or flooring and into crevice areas under equipment to affect possible hidden food sources and harborage areas that may contain small fly larva, including fruit fly and drain fly species and other insect pests. Remove or brush any powder visible after application into cracks and crevices. Avoid introducing the material into the air or onto any exposed surfaces other than the floor area. Avoid contaminating food or food processing surfaces. Do not apply when foods are exposed.” You will add 2.5 cups per gallon of water and it is good until are removed or covered with other debris.

Indoors, NiBor-D Insecticide as a liquid spray solution can only be applied under refrigerators, in openings around pipes and sinks inside cabites and openings leading to voids and hollow spaces in walls. This cannot be sprayed over wall surfaces or inside cabinets.
For active roach infestatations, a combination of products are needed to eliminate roaches. There is not one product that will kill active roaches and repeat applications are required every 14 days.
The best treatment program is with one of our Roach Control Kits that contain the top professional grade products that a pest control company would use to treat your home. Roach Kit A is recommended for the FC Magnum Roach Bait as it has the fastest kill and transfer effect throughout the colony. If after 90 days, you are consistently treating every 14 days, rotate to Kit B or C and continue the treatment process.
When treating for active roaches in an apartment building, condo, duplex or shared home where you have adjoining walls with neighbors, it is a great idea to dust wall voids, around electrical outlets, under cabinets, sinks, etc with an insecticide dust like Delta Dust using a bellow hand duster. This is a great addtional treatment to help protect your home from roaches and other insects that will migrate from neigboring units.
Please view our Roach Control Kits, our Roach Treatment Guide and a short video on How to Apply Insecticide Dust for more information.
