Applying boric acid is far better than calling an exterminator for countless applications. Moved into a new apartment and had a huge roach problem on the top floor. The apartment office sent an exterminator three or four times and I kept seeing him every early morning when I would get up. Several months went by and still was able to see roaches every day. Did some research and went and bought some boric acid put it behind the microwave and down beside the stove and behind the refrigerator and poof! I never saw a roach again for 6 years.

Me too!! I literally can guarantee that this got rid of roach infestation in my apartment 45 years ago. I never saw a roach again during my residency in a roach infested apartment building. Boric acid was in my cabinets, baseboards , under sinks……it seriously eradicated any and all roaches. Price of it was extremely inexpensive years ago but now it can be pricey.

I've used the boric acid mixed with boiled eggs and sugar, using one cup of work as I can one cup of sugar and for hard-boiled eggs only the yellow, and we didn't see a roach for about 3 weeks, nowhere, and then all of a sudden we started seeing brand new baby ones, how is it that you know when they are completely gone if you don't see them for a while and then they pop up again how do you know if they're going to pop up or not how is it that you know that you have ended the roach infestation by using this homemade remedy?

Thank you so much for sharing this information. I've read the bottle and thought I was just putting down dust sparingly, but now I know exactly how sparingly. My home was infested with roaches #before I moved in, but I still see one here and there at night. So I just make sure there's no clutter in my home, food stays in the kitchen, dishes washed throughout the day and empty the trash every night. It's been 3 years and I've been able to keep the bugs away on my own so far.

I had roaches once in the kitchen of an apartment I rented once. It was gross. Thankfully it was a 1-BR and they were only in the kitchen. I'd come home from work every day and spray roach killer all over the kitchen. Take out all the drawers and spray the cabinets hoping I was not poisoning myself. Eventually i got rid of them, or at least they were scared enough to stay out of sight. I remember I'd be sitting in the living room or at the dining room table and my eye got trained to notice their little creepy antenna's as they would crawl around and come into view. I'd immediately jump up and spray.

great point. The first time I saw live bedbugs rushing in and out of a guy's shirt collars at a waiting room in a clinic made me stop and look before I sit anywhere in public places ie on buses, benches etc. I used to think that bedbugs only stay in dark places, but seeing those juicy well fed bedbugs on that day in daylight convinced me that those blood suckers could be anywhere and they are so difficult to get rid of. Apparently bedbugs can live as long as 6 to 12 months without eating, so one can imagine the trauma coming back to your home after one year to encounter these blood suckers alive again.@@gIozell1

You said boric acid must stay dry to work. Some comments say mixed with honey, made a paste, and works, so i guess varies maybe, depending on your circumstances. I bought the boric acid, just hesitant to use it, afraid my dog might ingest it. It's a plague.

In the mid 70’s my grandparents had roaches in their house and mostly in the kitchen. They didn’t speak English but one day they got this white powder and put around the wall edges. And a few weeks later, we didn’t have roaches anymore. I don’t know what it was called but it had a food smell to it (pre mixed Boric Acid?). Anyway,, I now find roaches in the bathroom and I suspect they are coming from the electrical fan/vent. So I got some boric acid and put directly on the wall edges and put plastic over the electrical vent last night.

We proceeded to put in a spoonful in each hole. The second step was to apply a fine coat on a every surface the floor inside the cabinets counter tops every single surface. We closed off the two units for thirty days.

Hey Jason, thanks so much for all your helpful content considering that's how u make a living & giving us info for free ! Ok so my grandmother has been fighting bed bugs for almost 2 years , the trailer she lives in they have a guy come out that's supposedly spraying growth regulators, bed bugs have gotten better but not gone so ordering crossfire ! Now she also has i believe German roaches, I watched another video about roach resistance & wondering anything to use on both or should I start with crossfire and alpine wsg then next treatment for roaches do a bait ? She's 87 & losing her ever-loving mind and I know she's not comfortable living with both of those bugs so at the point we'll try anything, also if we treat on our own should pest guy still continue to spray whatever it is he even uses for the last 2 years for bedbugs and 6 months for roaches ! It's crazy how uniformed this guy is he tried to tell me they don't become resistant 🙄🙄 and to just move her cardboard boxes off the floor 🤦♀️🤦♀️ telling ya , we're dealing with a dumb dumb !

I have been battling German roaches for a few months now and getting so stressed. I live in an apartment and when we started getting them I was able to somewhat control them with the de dust and boric acid. The landlord hired pest control who came in once and put gel bait everywhere in the kitchen (now my toddler has been finding these spots and trying to eat it). They also sprayed clumps of de dust all over the place. I laid low for a few weeks to see if their methods will help but now they have spread all over my apartment and we’re seeing them more and more everywhere. We live in Canada so our pesticides are so few and not working. Can’t even get igr here as far as I know. Please help us.
