How to free an apartment from cockroaches with boric acid?

Cockroaches remain the problem of many housewives, and if there is no desire to call special services, you have to solve the problem by folk remedies. Boric acid from cockroaches has long been one of the most consumed by cockroaches substances. In each apartment, they tried to feed her hated insects at least once.

Boric acid: distinctive features

The tool attracts by the absence of smell and the presence in each pharmacy. White scaly grains also have no taste and are resistant to high temperatures. In the natural environment, acid itself is extremely rare, much more often you can find its salt - borax. It is noteworthy that salt and acid for cockroaches are equally fatal.

Pharmacies offer boric acid in powder, aqueous and alcoholic solutions. As a matter of fact, the well-known antiseptic called “boric alcohol” is just a 70% solution of boric acid.

Security

Many owners who have small children or animals in the apartment are afraid to use boric acid. There is no need to worry much in this regard: the worst thing that can happen is an allergic reaction. It is unpleasant, but not fatal, this remedy does not apply to strong allergens, and you need to smear it thoroughly in order to achieve such a result from the body.

Borax is even used as a food supplement. In Russia, it is banned, but we are talking about regular and significant consumption. So you can safely go into battle with boric acid and its products in service: you can remove insects in the apartment without harm to the kids and their pets.

Mode of action

The meaning of using the powder is that its special properties do not allow cockroaches to detect danger. In this regard, it is significant that the struggle through an alcohol solution is not effective due to the pungent odor.

Being eaten, the substance enters the digestive system. From there, it affects the nerves through the blood, acting on the peripheral centers with great force. At high doses, insects die from respiratory paralysis.

Tip

Mites cannot be removed with a similar tool in the apartment, they suck blood and therefore can not eat poison by any means.

A substantial amount of the substance should be eaten, so for many years the housewives have been trying to create cockroach recipes with the taste of perfection and at the same time with a killer dose of poison. After all, for every nasty insect you need 2-3 mg of acid. When developing a recipe, one should take into account a certain amount that does not fall in the way of the apartment invaders.

Tip

Sometimes there are insects that are already so used to such baiting that their body has adapted and does not respond to the substance. In such cases, it will be necessary to use more effective and toxic agents, produced recently, for the control.

Application methods

In order to get rid of cockroaches, you need to "season" them with poison. Naturally, you can’t feed them with a spoon, you will have to pay attention to where insects are most often found, and poison them in those places. How to do it right? The first step is a general cleaning, which will deprive additional food sources of all parasites and make them interested in traps. Floors and walls, sinks and nightstands. Even the toilets must be carefully monitored, leaving them closed, and, therefore, depriving the uninvited residents of the usual source of drinking.

There are a lot of folk recipes that will help get rid of cockroaches.

1. The simplest recipe with which you can poison parasites is to simply prepare sprinkled portions at the places of the supposed dislocation of insects. Of course, they will not want to eat the powder, they will run on it, completely not noticing, and then clean their paws with their jaws, eating the prepared poison. The result of the struggle will not come too quickly, but you won’t have to make any efforts either.
2. A dried sink can greatly upset cockroaches that need to be drunk constantly. By putting an aqueous solution next to the usual watering place, you can quickly attract the attention of the entire colony and stuff it with boric acid to the dump. This recipe is also very simple, but it can cause some inconvenience: it is not advisable to use the sink for several days, so as not to supply the insects with a clean drink.

It happens that cockroaches appear completely suddenly and in huge numbers. Then, in order to get rid of them, the only measure you can not do, you will have to put extra bait.

Here are the most “delicious” among folk recipes.

• Mix the pulp from the yolk of one egg and 40-50 g of boron powder. Chicken egg yolk has an attractive smell and taste.
• Equal servings of powder, flour and powdered sugar are mixed with water in a flexible dough.
• Add 200 g of powder to the same dough, 60 g of starch and icing sugar, 2 sachets of vanilla sugar.
• Grind mashed potato with one peeled boiled egg with the addition of 1 tbsp. tablespoons of powder.

Consistency makes it easy to knead and fashion small balls that are laid out in the places where insects are. All other products are cleaned especially thoroughly, down to the smallest crumbs. This will help to speed up the nutrition of cockroaches with poisonous ball mixtures. Even in lockers, it is best to pack everything in tightly closed cans and bags.

If the apartment is old, has not been repaired for a long time, operated without sufficient adherence to sanitation rules, there will not be enough balls of boric acid for effective control. Anyway, a few insects will hide in the cracks and find how to soak. To get rid of annoying "neighbors", you will have to seek help from stronger chemicals or professionals who can poison them quickly and reliably.

In general, boric acid is not a panacea for house insects, but its use is popular among housewives. There are several reasons, but they are significant:

• safely;
• cheap;
• available.

You can buy the drug at any pharmacy or on the Internet, it is very simple to use, only cockroaches will be harmed. And the fact that it will not work out to achieve the ideal result is scary for few: all the same, new hordes will not be slow to appear in the apartment.
