Fw: Boric Acid??????????

[Guest guest]

Thanks to one of your members, I found your group. Thank you, thank you.

I am sending the following because I believe it gives a few more things

to try.

This information was collected from here and there on the web.

Heloise says: Ants Marching into Your Home?

To help stop a column of ants advancing to your doorstep, first sprinkle

boric acid or borax powder along the trails. Then pour the powders near

the entrances and exits of your house, but don't allow tiny children or

pets to come in contact with these powders.

------------------

Roaches/Cockroaches

Control starts with thorough cleaning and the elimination of water and

food in the house. Dust problem areas indoors with boric acid and

natural diatomaceous earth. Put out baits indoors of 50% sugar and 50%

Arm and Hammer laundry detergent. Use lids or other small containers.

Apply beneficial nematodes to the grounds around the house and spray with

Garden-Ville Fire Ant Control formula.

Hot sauce – to get rid of cockroaches

Bay Leaf for ants – and white vinegar

This would probably work for your home at point of entry.

Ants in the RV, like the proverbial ants in the pants, are nothing to

laugh about. How do you get rid of them, and keep them gone? Friends

who were serving as Katrina relief volunteers in New Orleans quickly

filled us in on the 'magic circle of Comet' trick used down there.

Ants are clever creatures--they send out scouts who scurry about

the territory, looking for suitable food and water sources. If one crawls

up your RV tire, water hose, power cable, et al, and eventually finds

something inside your rig, he or she leaves a little smell trail of

pheromones. Your proboscis won't pick up on it, but to the ants, it's an

irresistible essence that must be followed--by hundreds of the scout's

fellows. Why are these ants marching in a circle? Clever researchers took

a dilute form of their pheromone and painted on the paper, then turned

the ants loose. It's strong stuff--it's said that as little as .33 of a

milligram of straight pheromone could leave a discernable trail around

the entire circle of the earth!

For whatever reason, ants won't cross a line of bleach-containing

scouring powder. Maybe it kills the pheromone trail, maybe it burns their

little feet, we don't know. In any event, get out the Comet and shake a

good border around everything of your rig that touches the ground: Tires,

landing gear, stabilizers, cords, and hoses. This is better than spraying

insecticide on these utilities, because the powdered cleanser will simply

shake off, not stick to your hands, nor cause grief for pets and kids. Of

course, if the rains fall you may need to renew your magic circle, but

while the powder's out, the ants are gone.

Splenda gets rid of Roaches -- yep I tried it -- it really works. I just

put some on my countertop -- and in a week -- nothing.

Aspertame gets rid of Ants -- yep this works. Ants were coming onto the

bathroom vanity which was on an outside wall. In two days they were all

gone.

Boric Acid??????????

Message-ID: <ff5v33+nsm5 >

 

I've read several messages/posts on how to use boric acid for ants and

roaches. I've applied some of the suggestions like sugar and boric acid

for roaches in the attic. I would like to know how I can use the boric

acid powder for ants and other pests in my yard????? I read a message

how someone used white vineger and either boron or boric acid in a

spray bottle for ants. I would like to know if its safe to use it for

my yard and spray it on there. If anyone has a suggestion or response

I'll surely appreciate it. Thanks.AL.
