FAQs

Is this product safe for homes with pets?

No. While effective for pests, it must be kept strictly out of reach of pets and children. Apply it only in voids or crevices where pets cannot access.

Can I use this on carpets or rugs?

It is not recommended to use boric acid in open areas like carpets or rugs. It should be applied specifically to cracks, crevices, and hard-to-reach wall voids.

How long does the powder remain effective?

Boric acid does not lose its chemical effectiveness over time. It will continue to work as long as it remains dry and undisturbed in the location where it was applied.

What is the CAS number for this product?

The CAS number for this Boric Acid is 10043-35-3.

Should I wear protective gear during application?

Yes. It is highly recommended to wear gloves, protective eyewear, and a dust mask to prevent skin irritation or accidental inhalation.

Troubleshooting

Powder is clumping and not spreading evenly

The powder has likely absorbed moisture. Ensure the application area is dry and consider using a bulb duster to break up clumps during application.

Insects are avoiding the treated area

You may have applied the powder too thickly. Insects prefer to walk through a light dusting rather than climbing over large piles; use a duster to apply a thinner, more consistent layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When setting up, prioritize safety by wearing gloves and a dust mask to avoid inhalation or skin contact. Always store the container in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.

Placement: Apply only in cracks, crevices, and voids where pests hide.
Compatibility: Can be used alongside bait stations for a multi-faceted approach, but avoid getting the dust directly into the bait itself.
Maintenance: Check periodically to ensure the powder has not been cleaned away or clumped due to humidity. Re-apply only when necessary to maintain a light dusting.
