Effective when used properly:
Applied as a thin dust in wall voids, behind appliances, under sinks (inaccessible areas)
Not as food-like balls sitting openly where non-target creatures can access
Ineffective/dangerous when:
Made into egg-yolk balls placed openly
Applied heavily (roaches avoid thick layers)
Placed where children/pets can reach
Safer, Equally Effective Roach Control Methods
Option 1: Commercial Gel Baits (Safest for Homes with Kids/Pets)
Products: Advion Roach Gel, Combat Max Roach Killing Gel
Why safer: Comes in syringe; applied as tiny dots in cracks/crevices—not accessible to pets/kids
How it works: Roaches eat gel → return to nest → die → others eat carcass → colony collapse
Effectiveness: 90%+ reduction in 1–2 weeks
Option 2: Proper Boric Acid Application (If You Choose This Route)
DO:
→ Apply light dusting (like powdered sugar) in inaccessible areas only:
Behind refrigerator (not on floor—on wall voids)
Inside wall voids (drill small hole, puff in, seal)
Under sink cabinet back corners (not where pet water bowls sit)
→ Wear gloves + mask during application
→ Keep container locked away from children/pets
