I had a roof cleaning friend who used to insect proof homes down here in Florida who used it. Insects hate Borax ! 1 Jeff Mathieson Tartan Window Cleaning reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Borax & Boric AcidBoron-based compounds have been used for centuries to control insects, prevent wood rot, and before it was realized to be harmful, disinfect wounds. Considered a highly effective insecticide, especially with regard to ants, roaches, beetles and weevils, boric acid has been used regularly in the United States since the late forties. Many have reported success in their use of borax and/or boric acid as a stink bug focused insecticide. Unlike nerve-agent chemicals, boron compounds affect the exoskeleton of an insect, and as such, the reaction tends to be slower but highly effective over longer periods of time.

Nope, and all because Boric Acid is a very very weak acid, PH is 9.2 and will never drop the PH of the SH enough to cause the formation of the dreaded fumes. 1 Troy Howell reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
