    Great for german roaches

    By Edward on 09/15/2016

    Dust is the best formulation for german roaches. All you need for control. Non-repellent and roaches won't build up resistance. Dust the area out really good and take a paint brush and brush excess into cracks. Safe for pets and children too.

    By Wesley on 02/13/2016

    I've used this product before for roaches and I've been very happy with it. I almost forgot how effective this dust is.

    Fleas gone

    By Barb on 11/03/2015

    I mixed this 1:1 with EcoEXEMPT D Dust in the bulb duster. Dusted the carpet and mattress. Left the dust on every thing for 2 weeks and did not vacuum. Also sprayed carpet and mattress with Precor 2000 Plus the next day. This took care of the flea infestation. The owners of the apartment had hired a professional company to spray 3 different times and could not fully get rid of the fleas.

Questions & Answers

Sort Questions
Q
Is BorActin Insecticide Powder safe in kitchen cabinets?
A
The manufacturer does not recommend adding the product directly to the kitchen cabinets. Instead: Apply Boractin under and behind cabinets. When treating cabinetry areas, if there is no gap between the lower cabinets and the kickplate, then small holes can be drilled to access the voids. Escutcheon plates around pipes can also be pulled back to allow access to voids.

Q
Will the blue dye in BorActin Insecticide Powder stain my carpets?
A

BorActin Insecticide Powder contains a blue dye for safety. Per the product label, BorActin should only be applied in cracks and crevices, and any excess dust should be wiped up. We would not advise to use this dust around light colored fabrics that may be affected by the dye. We also recommend applying dust with a hand duster to avoid contamination or over-dusting.

Q
What is the mixing ratio powder to water for BorActin Insecticide Powder?

Do you mix with water? I have a backpack sprayer and looking for a good product for spraying homes

A

BorAction Insecticide Powder is not mixed with water.  It is a powder insecticide that is applied to cracks and crevices only.  If you are looking for an insecticide to spray as a barrier around the home, Cy-Kick CS would something you can use. We also carry EcoVia WD, a natural wettable dust insecticide that can be applied either as a dry dust or mixed with water and applied as a spray.

Q
Can BorActin Insecticide Powder be used outdoors?
A
BorActin Insecticide Powder is not for use outdoors as it would get washed away with the first rain or dew or blown away by the wind. It is used indoors in cracks and crevices where the harsh outdoor environment cannot affect it, but will stay in place to catch any insects that crawl through it. If you are looking for a dust you can use outdoors, you could try something like Diatomaceous Earth which comes in many forms by many different manufacturers. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Q
How long does it take for a cockaroach to die once it has ingested BorActin?
A
The time of death for a roach or any other insect will depend entirely on how healthy the roach was prior to ingestion and how much it ingested. It could be minutes or hours before each individual roach dies after ingesting the product. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
