FAQs
Is this product safe to use around pets?
No, this product should be kept strictly away from pets. Apply only in inaccessible areas like cracks, crevices, or wall voids.
Does this product expire?
As a chemical compound, it does not have a formal expiration date, but it should be kept dry in its original resealable pouch to maintain its efficacy.
Can I use this on kitchen counters?
No, it should never be applied to food preparation surfaces or anywhere food is stored.
How does Boric Acid work on insects?
It acts as a stomach poison for insects that ingest it while grooming themselves.
Is 50g enough for a full house?
Yes, because only a very light dusting is required for effective pest control, 50g covers many localized areas.
Troubleshooting
Powder is clumping and not dusting properly
Ensure the application area is completely dry; if the pouch was left open, the product may have absorbed moisture.
Insects are avoiding the dusted area
The layer may be too thick; try to achieve a barely visible, fine dust that insects will easily track through.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use, ensure the area is dry before application. Use a small puffer or dusting tool to apply a fine, uniform layer of the acid into cracks and crevices where pests harbor. Avoid applying in high volumes; a light dusting is more effective than a thick pile. Keep the pouch tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the product from absorbing atmospheric moisture. Store in a cool, dry place away from food items, and always wash your hands thoroughly after application. If the product needs to be removed, it can be vacuumed or wiped up with a damp cloth.
