Great for german roaches
By Edward on 09/15/2016
Dust is the best formulation for german roaches. All you need for control. Non-repellent and roaches won't build up resistance. Dust the area out really good and take a paint brush and brush excess into cracks. Safe for pets and children too.

Fleas gone
By Barb on 11/03/2015
I mixed this 1:1 with EcoEXEMPT D Dust in the bulb duster. Dusted the carpet and mattress. Left the dust on every thing for 2 weeks and did not vacuum. Also sprayed carpet and mattress with Precor 2000 Plus the next day. This took care of the flea infestation. The owners of the apartment had hired a professional company to spray 3 different times and could not fully get rid of the fleas.

Best product for roaches!
By Julie on 01/06/2018

Boric acid powder is the best roach elimination/preventative method out there! I prefer Boractin over the less expensive boric acid powders (Dollar Tree for example) because it is much finer and easier to "dust." It doesn't clump up due to moisture in the air. I had a temporary refrigerator delivered to my rental unit while a new one was being ordered. Unbeknownst to me, there was a roach nest in the back, where the electrical parts and motor are. I had a roach infestation within 3 weeks--it was like a horror movie! I initially sprayed (knock-down method) to kill as many as possible, then attached the IGR discs (Insect Growth Regulator) in cabinets. After that was done, I used Boractin with a bulb duster. I put a very thin layer in all cabinets, on very top of cabinets near ceiling, under fridge, stove. I bulb dusted in kick plates under cabinets and electrical outlets. I dusted counters and floors each night before going to bed. I also drilled holes about 18" apart in the walls (in kitchen) over the cabinets and dusted inside walls. I saw an immediate reduction within 3 days and complete elimination within one week. I made our apartment as uninhabitable to roaches as possible. I felt sorry for the people next to me as I'm assuming that's were a majority of them fled to while they were dying from the Boractin. I have since moved and still use Boractin as a preventative measure. I lightly dust cabinets, under fridge and stove, and on top of cabinets. I redo this about every 10 months. Have not seen a roach or ant, and I live in swampy South Florida!

BorActin Insecticide Powder contains a blue dye for safety. Per the product label, BorActin should only be applied in cracks and crevices, and any excess dust should be wiped up. We would not advise to use this dust around light colored fabrics that may be affected by the dye. We also recommend applying dust with a hand duster to avoid contamination or over-dusting.

Do you mix with water? I have a backpack sprayer and looking for a good product for spraying homes
BorAction Insecticide Powder is not mixed with water. It is a powder insecticide that is applied to cracks and crevices only. If you are looking for an insecticide to spray as a barrier around the home, Cy-Kick CS would something you can use. We also carry EcoVia WD, a natural wettable dust insecticide that can be applied either as a dry dust or mixed with water and applied as a spray.
