How to Apply Dust Insecticides
Proven Control of Crawling Insects in Commercial and Residential Locations
CB Borid Boric Acid Dust is a natural product that uses a contact kill and knock-down method like all other dusts. CB Borid Boric Acid Dust provides long-term treatment and remains effective as long as it remains dry and accessible to insects. Depending on the pest, CB Boric Borid Acid Dust will either kill the pest the minute they touch or it will allow the pest to carry the dust back to its colony, exposing the colony to the dust. CB Borid Boric Acid can be used either indoors or outdoors; simply apply small amounts using a tool or application tip. No dust should be visible, so make sure to brush the remaining dust into the cracks or crevices. When using CB Borid Boric Acid Dust, remember to be careful around children or pets.
The dust application is simple. However, when using dust, please be cautious, especially when children and pets are present. Use dust only in areas where they cannot reach. Apply lightly and uniformly to infested area. Do NOT overuse dust. The large amount of dust would repel insects. We recommend applying CB Borid Boric Acid Dust with a Bellow duster or a Centrobulb duster for best application.

Review by Joan L. (Posted on Thursday 06 May, 2010)We had a rather bad roach problem in a few areas of our house. I used traps and sprays but they just kept coming. I couldn’t figure out how they were getting into my house until a friend suggested that they were getting in through the sewers and up into my drainage pipes. I purchased the 1lb CB Borid Boric Acid Dust. I spread some around in a few key places and I began noticing a decrease in their population that very same week. This stuff really works well and I’m so happy I found it.

Review by Kristen Stewarts (Posted on Tuesday 29 December, 2009)The CB Borid Boric Acid Dust has become a house essential in our house. We use this whenever we see ants, spiders, or any insect infestations. After a week, there will always be a major improvement for me. I thought this product would be found at a hardware store but I guess it's just exclusively sold at Pest Mall for the public!
Review by Shea Y. (Posted on Wednesday 09 December, 2009)Our basement has a drain in the floor which, apparently, leads right into the sewer. We live in a major urban area so I can only imagine what sort of things are living down there. On day I went downstairs to do some laundry and there were 3 gigantic waterbugs crawling around my basement. They were so horrible I almost threw up. My husband bought some CB Borid Boric Acid Dust and spread it around the drain. We haven’t had a problem with waterbugs since, I am so grateful.
