Troubleshooting
Powder is clumping inside the container
Store in a drier location and shake the container gently to break up moisture-induced lumps.
Insects are avoiding the dusted area
Re-evaluate the placement; the dust may be applied too thickly, which insects naturally bypass. Apply a thinner, nearly invisible layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the Boric Acid, ensure you are wearing gloves and a dust mask to prevent inhalation. The powder should be applied in dry, low-traffic areas. Compatibility is limited to non-porous or crack-and-crevice environments; it should not be applied to soft furnishings or fabrics. For care, store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is screwed on tightly to prevent moisture absorption. If the powder becomes damp, it may clump, reducing its ability to be dusted effectively. Keep the product in its original, clearly labeled container to prevent confusion with other household items.
