Boric acid

Boric acid will wipe out the roaches. It isn't poisonous, but interferes with there reproductive system.Boric Acid doesn't do much against ants. However, if you lay about a 1 inch circle of Seven Dust on the outside perimeter of the Borid acid spread, it will kill the ants. You may also have some dead roaches to clean up, tho, so if you don't have an ant problem, don't use it.....

Boric acid isn't poisonous to people, and has been uses as an eyewash when chemically pure. It is also called orthoboric acid. It' won't kill pets but will completely eliminate a roach problem...

Personally, for mice/rats, I use standard traps baited with peanut butter. If roaches are a problem, I put it in the middle of a Boric acid spread......

  1. Boric acid has an LD50 rating which, even though is very high, means that if you consume enough of the product it could be lethal. I'd recommend handling it with care, don't ingest it and keep it out of reach of kids and animals.
