This is a PERFECT weapon for the war against roaches! The secret is not to spread the power
5 Stars
This is a PERFECT weapon for the war against roaches! The secret is not to spread the power
Boric acid is a digestive toxin to insects, affecting their metabolism which kills them. When the power is spread around the home, you’re:1. Relying on the off chance that roaches will wander into the power and accidentally consume it during grooming.2. Making a wasteful, pulverous mess in all of the corners of your house/apartment, which is not good for the air quality, especially at the time of this revue, being it’s summer, your air conditioner is on and the windows are closed. Furthermore, some formulations contain sweeteners that can lead to consumption by small children or animals in large enough quantities to cause illness that can ultimately be preceded by death. So its a good idea to avoid the dusting method.The effective method of distribution among an insect population:All carbon based life forms absolutely require 2 things to survive, which are water and food, but primarily water to maintain electrolyte balance. Roaches have predefined paths to the water sources in your home.This boric acid can be used to make baits and water sources. I’ve found that there’s minimal efficacy with the bait methods being roaches lose interest when they dry out. However water sources are by far the most effective method of coercive consumption of boric acid for insects, while insects are acclimated to drinking water, by sucking it out of porous, absorbent mediums, such as soil, in natural environments.INSTRUCTIONS:1. Mix liberal amounts of boric acid with hot water( I did it to the point of complete saturation at hot tap water temperature, where upon cooling crystal precipitation occurred, because at room temperature, you can only achieve a concentration of 57g per liter).2. Soak ball’s of tissue, napkins oasis floral foam, sponges, dish rags, etc., in the hydrated boric acid solution.3. Place your boric acid solution loaded artificial water sources along the paths to normal water sources in your home, making the highest concentration around those water sources being sure to keep sinks and bathtubs/showers dry, where they have no choice but to drink from your artificial water sources, being sure to add plain water to them daily (boric acid will still be present in high enough quantities).*roaches are attracted to the smell of cream cheese. So do with that information what you will.Inside of a week, you will notice roach cadavers everywhere and if you’re experiencing an infestation such as my own, you will see a minimal amount of roaches in the areas where they were most frequently seen. If you’re not in a situation likened to my own, where I’m having to battle incoming roaches from the next door neighbor. You should be completely rid of those vile, pathogen spreading vermin within the month. I’ve tried MANY methods which include: Sprays that claim to kill roaches for months, baits of all kinds and pre-made water sources that contain highly toxic chemicals, none of which have shown the efficacy of the above described three step method that uses boric acid and water, which exhibits the least toxicity to humans and pets by comparison.Boric acid toxicity (minimum oral, lethal dose):5-25g Adult human3-6g Children<5g InfantsLD50 Dogs: 631mg/kgNow that I’ve provided you with a proper arsenal for the war on roaches, off to battle!( With all of the above information provided, one would think that I actually, actively monitored the roach population based the efficacy of different methods of elimination right? I actually did.)*The image is of an area underneath an extremely large table. The water sources are dried out as they are difficult to reach so I neglected to water them. However, notice the roach cadavers and the continued presence of boric acid is visible in the natural paper napkin.*

5.0 out of 5 stars Cost Effective for Stopping Roaches!
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2023
I had success with the Hot Shots Powder with Boric Acid against a roach infestation. The key to this product is understanding how to properly use it.

1. You can attempt to use the product as a barrier to prevent roaches and other pests from entering your home. I personally found this to be messy and ineffective. While this product will kill roaches on contact, you need to take the fight directly to their nest to stop an infestation.

2. You can create bait traps by mixing the Hot Shot powder with granulated sugar – the real stuff, not Sweet N’ Low or Splenda. I created traps by filling a plastic soda pop bottle cap with the powder, sprinkling in some sugar, and mixing it together with a toothpick. I attached a picture of my bait trap for reference.

3. Before placing your traps, you must thoroughly clean infested areas to ensure roaches have no other food sources. Roaches can survive off miniscule food crumbs, and even mold, mildew, and the feces and corpses of other roaches. I thoroughly cleaned my floors with a mixture of soap, bleach, and water, while also sanitizing hard surfaces with Lysol wipes. It is pivotal for you to eliminate sources where they can score free meals.

4. Place your bait traps in corners of rooms, underneath sinks, or behind toilets. Give it three days and wait for the roaches to consume the poison, dehydrate, and die. Their peers will eat their carcasses and also become poisoned as Boric acid cannot be metabolized by their bodies. Refill your bait traps as needed until the infestation is quelled.

This product exceptionally well for me when used as a bait trap. It helped decimate an infestation in a rental property caused by messy tenants within four days. It may take longer for you depending on how bad your infestation is. I would not recommend this product if you have pets, as they may eat it and become sick. At less than $3 for a 16oz bottle, it’s very cost-effective, and can be applied multiple times.
