Greatest solution for roaches!, September 24, 2008
Sprinkle a little of this around your door, behind your stove and fridge, behind the couch, etc. As long as it's dry and doesn't get damp or vacuumed up, it keeps working. It's the absolute best for getting rid of the roaches. They hate the stuff, and it will kill an entire colony because they get it on them, then transfer it to the others.
My great grand parents, grandparents, parents, and I use boric acid. Anytime we start seeing roaches we dust a little around and they are gone! When I say we dust a little, I mean a little. Hold the bottle sideways, shake the powder up so it's at the nozzle but not clogging it up, and squeeze the bottle. If you got the powder in the right place, it will poof and billow out in a little cloud. That's all you need. A liter-size bottle of this stuff can last a lifetime! You'll never again call the exterminator because of roaches!

little things mean a lot, February 1, 2009
PLEASE NOTE: READ DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING!!!
Boric acid powder works--and rather efficiently, too. My mother, my sister and I lived in a huge New York City apartment building in the late 1970s and into the 1980s; and of course from time to time we would see a roach that had crawled through the vents into our kitchen or living room. At first we didn't know what to do; and I can assure you from my own experience that the problem was less than appealing. Even today, I still have friends who live in New York City and they find this to be very useful.
Finally, my mother found out about Boric Acid powder. She carefully sprinkled some on the floor just in front of the vents and even along some of the cracks in the molding between the bottom of the wall and the floor. Viola! The roaches went bye-bye.
There are some precautions about using this as I'm sure you can imagine. First off, if you have small children or pets that may accidentally ingest this, keep them away from where you sprinkle the powder. Also, watch that this never gets near any food stored in your cabinets. YOU don't want to ingest it--not even the slightest bit of residue--you may well need to go to the ER to get this out of you ASAP.
Another reviewer writes that you can purchase this at a lower cost elsewhere; and for a twenty ounce bottle they are probably right. In addition, some forms of boric acid may be good for getting rid of sweaty feet or even yeast infections but I don't know anyone who used boric acid for these reasons so I can't comment on this.
Overall, as long as you use it right, boric acid powder works wonders if you wish to get rid of roaches, water bugs, ants or more. I recommend it as long as you use it properly.

Great Environmentally Friendly Repellant, May 30, 2007
Seems to be doing its job. You can buy this for cheaper at any hardware store though.
