Read this review first!! - It’s been a little over 2 weeks since i have used this product. I live in a small apartment and just recently had an infestation in the kitchen. An even more disgusting part was that the infestation was behind the fridge on the medal cord/plug that keeps the fridge running. All the roaches were crawling over it as it generates heat to keep the power running for my fridge. The roaches would come out mostly at night when the lights were off. They were mostly on the ground and a handful scattered on my countertops. It got to the point where if i left food out on my countertops for about 30mins or longer, i would find a few roaches making their way to it. I also had to start tying up my trash bag bc they found their way into the bin bc of the scraps of food inside. I was super unsure if this product would work bc of mixed reviews but I’m here to say, this product did its job! I am VERY VERY impressed. I applied this product behind all of my appliances (stove, washer, dryer and fridge) and on the ground underneath the sink/countertops. There were lots of reviews saying they had problems with the bottle itself and how it would clog up or not disperse the product evenly but it was fine with me. you just had to tilt the bottle down so the powder moves closer to the nozzle then after open it, just slightly squeeze the bottle so the powder puffs out lightly onto where you want it. Do not point the bottle straight down but hold it at horizontal with the nozzle slightly downwards. i would recommend to start with a light dusting then go back over that area again and try your best to not just dump a big pile of powder in one area. Keep the application nice and light but still visible to your eye so you can see where it’s applied but not as big clump of powder bc the roaches will just avoid it as oppose to walking through it (which is ideal). When you have applied it to where you mostly see roaches go through or hide, just be patient with the results. i did my research and it said typically with boraic acid you’ll see a difference within 3 days and that’s partially true. i saw the roaches getting weaker around 3-5 days later once i had applied the powder but noticed an even bigger difference within a little over a week. the difference i saw was that the roaches that came out were very weak, crawling very slow on the ground and many would flip over and eventually die. Whenever i saw a roach crawling on the ground, i immediately grabbed the bottle of powder and puffed a hefty amount over the roach bc they will eventually run back to their nest with it. but if i saw one that was alive and flipped over on its back i still put the powder on it just to see how long the acid took to kill it. From my observation, it was about 2-3 days. As i did this, i made sure to have no water or food source available to the roaches everyday by cleaning up the kitchen and it has been a world of a difference. I am updating this right now, and I don’t want to say that this has permanently eliminated the infestation but it has significantly reduced it. I have not seen my kitchen floor with multiple roaches running around at night anymore but i do see one or two roaches in random spots. I’ll take that over the infestation i had a couple weeks ago any day! What made me completely surprised was when i checked behind my fridge, there wasn’t a single roach that was chilling on that metal cord!!!! I will continue to reapply this product once every month to make sure it keeps the roaches away. i hope this review makes you believe this product does work, just be patient and apply it correctly.

This should drive the bugs out of the walls. About a month later put some of the powder around the outside perimeter of your house. DO NOT do this first.. you will only drive the bugs INSIDE. Drive them OUT of the house first.. then apply around the outside perimeter to keep them from coming back in to live in your walls. **Q: Just want to clarify, how many oz. does each bottle contain? 16 ounces/1 pound in each bottle, or 8 ounces each?** A: 1 Lbs. in each bottle. **Q: Will boric acid work on centipedes? I have them all around the house and they get in as well>** A: Yes, boric acid is effective against centipedes. A quick search will yield you instructions on how to use this for centipedes. **Q: Can I mix this with water to make a spray?** A: If the boric acid powder gets wet with water it becomes useless and stops working. Otherwise it last up to 10 years you can also make a bait with it 60% powder. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unsure about this product?
