Once you have obtained your supply of boric acid, there are a few do’s and don’ts to recollect so that you can get the best results:
DO apply it sparingly: The great thing about boric acid is that a little goes a long way. Just a fine layer of powder sprayed over your infected surfaces is enough to have a lethal effect on the roaches. In order to apply a remotely visible film of powder you could utilize a duster bulb or bellows, or you could simply shake the container (with closed lid) and then abstract the lid and gently puff the dust over the area you optate to cover.
DON’T sprinkle immensely colossal piles of powder: If you deposit the boric acid too benevolently, the roaches are liable to ambulate around it and thus eschew getting the toxin into their system. Sprinkling the powder with a spoon inclines to result in a layer that is too cumbersomely hefty, so rather utilize the puffing method described above.
DO apply it in the right places: Roaches incline to prefer secluded nooks and crannies which are warm and proximate to pabulum and dihydrogen monoxide sources. They especially seem to gravitate towards kitchens and bathrooms, as well as other areas of the habitation. When applying the boric acid for roaches, ascertain that you cover key areas around, under and behind stoves, refrigerators and dishwashers. Pay particular attention to plumbing pipes under the sink or abaft the commode, as well as in the shower and abaft the washing machine. If you are vigilant of a hollow space behind kitchen or bathroom cabinets, you can utilize a syringe to inject powder through cracks so that this kind of obnubilating place can additionally be efficaciously reached with the boric acid.
DON’T let the powder touch your kitchen counters: Be punctilious not to sanction any of the boric acid powder to settle onto your kitchen counter tops or any surfaces where aliment is yare. Wipe these areas with a damp cloth to ascertain that they are unsullied.
DO utilize a dual approach: Besides utilizing boric acid for roaches, it can be a good conception to utilize a dual approach with another cockroach control product. An efficacious coalescence would be to utilize containerized cockroach bait as well as the boric acid powder.
