Proportions of boric acid and yolk from cockroaches

Boric acid will help get rid of cockroaches: recipes

There are a huge number of recipes containing boric acid powder or its solution on the Internet. Below we will talk about the most popular methods and evaluate their effectiveness.

Pure boric acid powder. The remedy is undoubtedly the most profitable, but perhaps not the most effective. For this method, you just need to buy a few bags of acid and scatter them in places where the unfortunate insects may potentially live. But, firstly, cockroaches may not walk through those places, since nothing will attract them, and secondly, the powder is easily blown away by a draft. So, let's look at more appetizing ways to make cockroach baits.
Potato balls and eggs. The method is quite economical (definitely more profitable than purchased products) and easy to use. Boil potatoes in their jackets (1 piece) and boil one egg. These ingredients are then pureed. When the mashed potatoes and eggs are ready, add a tablespoon of boric acid to the mixture and mix thoroughly again. Small balls are made from the resulting mass and scattered throughout the apartment, especially in places popular with cockroaches.
Sugar balls. Ingredients: boric acid powder (4 packs); sugar (2 tablespoons); egg yolk (1 pc.). All this must be thoroughly mixed and balls formed from the resulting mass. If the mass turns out to be too thick, dilute it with water, and if it is too liquid, add a little flour.
Egg balls with butter. Ingredients: hard-boiled egg (1 pc.); boric acid powder (10 grams); sunflower oil To make the bait more attractive, take unrefined oil so that it gives off a scent, but if this is not available, then refined oil will do. Mix the boiled yolk with boric acid and dilute the resulting mass with oil to a consistency suitable for making balls (the diameter of the balls should be approximately 5 mm).

Before you begin placing bait around your home, thoroughly clean all areas. After placing the balls, keep the house clean and do not leave food in places accessible to pests.

Contact method

The contact method involves dust treatment with boric acid powder in those places where cockroaches constantly move (plinth, floor under kitchen furniture, area under the sink, etc.). The point here is this: when cockroaches run on treated surfaces, powder particles stick to their body. Having reached the shelters, the insects begin to clean their legs and antennae, while eating the adhering boric acid.

In addition, acid crystals adhered to the body destroy the protective layer of the cockroach's cuticle, which contributes to dehydration of the body and accelerates death. Thus, insects experience a double contact-intestinal toxic effect.

Another advantage of this method is that cockroaches carry boric acid on their bodies to places of mass accumulation and thus spread the destructive powder among their relatives.

But this method also has a number of disadvantages:

Firstly, it is not recommended to leave boric acid in the open if there are small children or pets at home. If kitchen work surfaces or other contact areas are being treated, they should be washed thoroughly before further use.
Secondly, it is important to choose the treatment areas correctly. This means that you will first have to monitor domestic cockroaches and identify areas of their activity. Perhaps it will be enough to turn on the light in the kitchen at night. One way or another, if you don’t monitor and randomly scatter boric acid in the corners, it won’t do any good.
Thirdly, the powder should be applied to the surface in a thin, barely noticeable layer. If you go too far with the thickness even a little, insects will simply avoid the mounds of boric acid, and the treatment will again have no effect. To obtain a layer of the required thickness, you should use a duster, or make a similar tool from a plastic bottle with small holes in the lid.

As you can see, proper dust treatment is quite a troublesome and painstaking task, and not everyone is ready to tinker with it. On the other hand, with a competent approach, the result will justify the effort expended.

Preparing and treating the premises before baiting cockroaches

The cockroach is a nocturnal insect. To effectively fight it, you need to be well prepared so that in the evening, when it goes out in the dark in search of food and water, the cockroach does not pass by the baits prepared for it.

To ensure the removal of cockroaches and to ensure the greatest interest of insects in the bait, a thorough cleaning should be carried out before treating the premises with poison. The purpose of washing is to deprive insects of their usual sources of water and food.

There should be no crumbs or greasy stains left on the table. The floor must be thoroughly swept, the trash taken out, and the dishes washed. All places where there is water must be wiped dry. It is necessary not only to wipe the tables and not leave wet dishes on them, but also to remove moisture from the sink, bathtub, and make it difficult for insects to access the toilet. The labor costs will be justified, since, without a source of water, the cockroaches will be forced to drink the poison prepared for them.

The bait should be placed in the paths of insects and where they are most concentrated. The choice of poison option depends on the location.

After treating the room and distributing the poison, you must ensure that the insects do not have access to water. A cockroach poisoned by boric acid can remove it from the body by drinking water. To prevent this from happening, you need to monitor its absence.

How to use the prepared product?

Treatment against barbels should begin with preparing the premises. To do this you need to do the following:

Everything in the apartment needs to be thoroughly cleaned. Harmful residents should be deprived of any food other than specially prepared food.
After eating, all food should be placed in the refrigerator and in airtight containers. Nothing edible should be left on the table, and crumbs should be removed.
It is important to empty the trash can every evening.
Any water or liquids must be removed. The sink should be wiped dry so that not even droplets remain.

To spread the poison, it is important to find the places where the Prussians most often move. These are areas along baseboards and the space near plumbing fixtures.

It is not possible to get rid of insects right away. They will die after 3-5 days, and before that they will continue to emerge from their shelters.

How effective are boric acid beads?

As has already become clear, to successfully destroy pests you need to force them to eat the poison themselves. Sometimes it's easy, but more often than not it takes a little work. The drug is sold in almost any pharmacy in 10 g bags. If you consider that 1 cockroach needs up to 3 mg of the substance, then it seems as if you can poison them all in one go.

However, as practice shows, this does not always happen. The main reasons for this situation are:

Incorrect use of the product. Very often, people, without first studying the method of using boric acid against pests, actually waste it.
Insufficient “attractiveness” of the bait.
Resistance of cockroaches to the appropriate product. Increasingly, there are cases where Prussians have a kind of immunity to boric acid and do not suffer from its use. In this case, it is necessary to adopt some other more effective methods of pest control.

If the apartment has become the site of an invasion of cockroaches, then borax remains another good analogue of boric acid. By its nature, it is the same substance, or rather its sodium salt. The effectiveness of borax is not inferior to classical boric acid.

If we talk about boric alcohol, then it is less relevant due to its repellent odor. The Prussians simply will not want to use it. However, repelling cockroaches with odors is one of the methods of controlling them.

Instructions for use

Step-by-step instructions for using boric acid to bait cockroaches:

Buy sachets of boric acid at the pharmacy.
Prepare the room for baiting:
Close the taps tightly.
Remove wet sponges and cleaning wipes.
Move flowerpots with flowers to another room, as cockroaches know how to extract moisture from the soil.
Place baits prepared according to one of the recipes presented below.

Remember! If a cockroach first tastes the poison and then drinks clean water, the poison will not affect it.

General information about boric acid

This product can be easily purchased at pharmacies or household chemical stores. Boric acid is a product in the form of a white, odorless powder. It is also sold in powder form, although there is also such a product as boric acid. The white powder is packaged in plastic bags, weighing 10 g.

It should be noted that boric acid is a truly unique chemical substance that is used in various fields of the national economy. This is not only a means of combating cockroaches, but also a substance that is used to produce some food products.

Boric acid is widely used in medicine for the preparation of disinfectant solutions, including various ointments. Boric acid inhibits the development of pathogenic microorganisms, as well as various types of bacteria.

This substance negatively affects the life of some insects, including cockroaches. Once on the body of insects, the substance begins to corrode it, which leads to their death. Boric acid also dehydrates the insect's body, which has a detrimental effect on it. This complex action of the substance gives a noticeable effect.

On a note! Preparing bait requires precise adherence to the proportions of the substance. This is the only way to get a positive result.

Advantages of boric acid based baits:

Their preparation does not require much effort and a lot of time.
Baits are non-toxic as they do not emit toxic fumes.
Baits can be placed in any place, even hard-to-reach places.
The substance sticks to the body and legs of insects, after which they bring it to the nest and infect other individuals.
The bait is valid for one week, after which they need to be changed.
Fighting cockroaches does not require major capital investments, since the substance is not expensive.
The baits are safe for humans and pets.

Boric acid is a unique substance that effectively helps in the fight against many pests. They are attracted not only by the effectiveness of the product, but also by the low price. This is a serious alternative to chemical, toxic drugs that can cause serious damage to human health and pets.

Additional tips for getting rid of parasites

It’s not enough to just make a couple of balls and place them around the apartment. You need to properly prepare for a difficult fight with the Prussians and leave them no choice but to eat poisoned bait. But how to do that?

There are several additional recommendations that will help increase the effectiveness of killer treats:

Before preparing the balls, be sure to thoroughly clean the room. Cockroaches are a sign of unsanitary conditions, therefore any method of combating them must begin with basic cleaning of the room.
It is advisable to move furniture away from the walls. This will allow you to see potential places where prussians congregate and correctly place the bait.
You must throw out trash every day. It is an alternative source of food for Prussians. Therefore, in its absence, they themselves will eat the bait for lack of other food.
You always need to clean up after dinner, lunch and breakfast. All food should be hidden in the refrigerator and no food crumbs should be left on the table.

Sometimes poisoned watering holes for insects are additionally recommended. It is necessary to leave a bowl of water near the sinks, to which add boric acid. The main thing is to wipe all surfaces in the bathroom dry and close the toilet. In this case, the only source of moisture will be the poisoned drinking bowl.

Obviously, fighting cockroaches using boric acid requires a little patience and effort. It shows good final results, however, it is best used in combination with other more effective methods. When Prussians appear, you need to start exterminating them as quickly as possible, otherwise they will spread throughout the house.

Here's how poison is prepared in practice from butter, eggs and potatoes:

Reviews

Vitaly, Dolgoprudny. “It’s sometimes strange to hear that people are worried about the toxicity of boric acid. That's funny! Try to remember how your mothers used it as a child and smeared scratches on your knees. Then no one thought about the consequences. Feel free to use it and nothing will happen!”
Marina Andreevna, Krasnodar. “We used boric acid to control cockroaches in the office. They lived in our bedside tables and office cabinets. They used ordinary milk cottage cheese, into which they added water with the addition of this poison. All this was poured into plates and placed directly inside the furniture overnight. The effect was achieved, the insects gradually moved away. I recommend to all!"
Sergey Vladimirovich, Izhevsk. “As soon as I noticed the first unexpected visitors in the house, I immediately decided to get rid of this evil spirits. I prepared the balls with the egg, carefully laid them out and began to wait. Two days passed and I found five ready-made pieces. After ten days they noticeably decreased, and two weeks later they disappeared completely. They were probably out of breath."
Ekaterina, Volokolamsk. “I tried to exterminate the Prussians with boric acid more than once. I should note that if there are a large number of them, then real results can be achieved if you use boric acid in combination with other drugs. As a result, the desired result was achieved!”
Svetlana Stanislavovna, Armavir. “My mother regularly sprinkled powder all over the kitchen. Our problem was that there were not very clean neighbors living upstairs and Prussians often crawled in from them through the ventilation. They were especially active at night, so processing was carried out in the evening. Probably, if it weren’t for this method, the cockroaches would have gotten us seriously.”

In conclusion, we note that the fight against cockroaches, like any other infection, must begin with cleanliness:

In a room where there are absolutely no hot spots for insects, cockroaches are unlikely to settle. There is simply no food for them there.
This is especially true for kitchens and bathrooms.
If cockroaches do get to you, try to use the tips from our article. Proven methods have never failed anyone!
Do not rush to premature conclusions about the effect of boric acid, wait a few days and make sure that your actions are effective.
Keep in mind that this drug is also harmful to other insects (ants and bedbugs).

How to cook?

There are 2 most popular methods of using boric acid:

Sprinkle in a thin line in areas where cockroaches are likely to appear (along baseboards, around trash cans, sinks, or under beds). Logically, Prussians should contaminate their paws with poison and then ingest it when cleaning their limbs. In practice, this method remains questionably effective.
Use of poisonous baits. In this case, the essence of the method is that the pest independently, and even with pleasure, swallows its death. The main thing is to create a tasty bait.

Now there are a large number of different ways to prepare such “cakes”. Which recipe for boron balls against cockroaches to choose depends purely on the person’s preference.

However, the following remain very popular:

You need to mix 1 boiled chicken yolk with a teaspoon of boric acid. Roll it out and form several small balls.
Combine sugar, starch, flour and boric acid in equal proportions. Add a little water to this mixture and make a kind of dough. Small flat cakes are made from it.
Combine 1 boiled potato with 1 egg, grind until pureed and add 1 tablespoon of acid. Then roll small balls again.

As you can see, there are plenty of options for preparing poisonous baits. You need to choose the one you like best and use it.

Baits for cockroaches, recipes, methods of using products

The powder should be poured in insect habitats:

cracks along the baseboards;
area under furniture;
places near the bathroom, under the sink.

In addition to the kitchen, cockroaches are attracted to the bathroom. Insects cannot exist without water, this place is dark, no one causes disturbance. The scattered product sticks to the paws of pests and, entering the body of insects, leads to death. Pour the powder in small piles to create the impression that granulated sugar or flour has been spilled, otherwise the insects will bypass the bait. The disadvantage of this product is that the acid is ineffective in killing insect eggs.

When fighting cockroaches, the following methods are used:

use of powder without impurities;
production of baits;
use of solutions.

Preventive measures to avoid the reappearance of parasites

Even if all the cockroaches in your home are destroyed, you cannot sit quietly with your hands folded. No one guarantees that there are no these unpleasant insects in neighboring apartments. And if they are still there, then over time the cockroaches will gradually begin to move into your apartment in search of a favorable habitat.

That is why, in order to prevent re-infection, it is recommended to take the following preventive measures:

From time to time, you should use boric acid to treat surfaces near sewer risers, ventilation ducts, and electrical outlets that are located on common walls with neighbors;
From time to time it is necessary to prepare a new portion of boro-egg bait and place it where cockroaches like to hide. First of all, these are surfaces behind furniture, under the washbasin, under the bathtub and in other hiding places hidden from view. Baits attract uninvited “guests”, which leads to the inevitable death of cockroaches;
It is necessary to maintain cleanliness and order in the apartment, because cockroaches do not settle in places where they cannot find food.

Features of use

To get results from using boric acid, you need to do it correctly. Cockroaches are quite cunning and tenacious insects that need to be disposed of wisely.

Keeping the house clean. Before starting the war against cockroaches, the apartment must be thoroughly cleaned. To do this, you need to wash all visible surfaces, as well as hard-to-reach places (under the bed, behind cabinets, etc.).
Remove all food. In order for cockroaches to notice the poison and eat it, there should be no other food for them. All food in the house should be closed in plastic bags and put in the refrigerator. The trash can must be tightly closed.
Remove the water. Boric acid may not work on the cockroach if it has access to clean water. This is due to the fact that the poison can be washed out of his body. To do this, you need to completely wipe the sinks, bathtub, and close the toilet lid.

REFERENCE! You should even hide all wet rags or sponges by putting them in bags. In addition, cockroaches can drink water from watered flowers, so this should also be limited for a while.

Search for shelter. To figure out where cockroaches are hiding, you need to catch them by surprise. Their activity peaks at night. Therefore, you need to go into the room in the middle of the night and turn on the light. All that remains is to trace where they ran and then spread the poison near their shelters.
To attract attention. Cockroaches are inquisitive insects. In order for them to approach the poison, it must be made bright or placed on something bright, for example, a piece of colored cardboard.
There is no need to relax too early. If you haven't seen cockroaches for a couple of days, it's too early to rejoice. It is necessary to continue replacing traps with fresh ones every 1-2 days, since the cockroach will not eat dried poison.

All the pros and cons

Like any method, using a mixture of boric acid and egg to kill cockroaches has its positive and negative sides.

Advantages of the method

The positive aspects of this method include:

Economical. The acid itself costs only a few rubles, and the cost of an egg and a spoon of butter is quite small.
Since the powder is not toxic to humans, preparing bait does not take much time and effort. No protective equipment is needed; you don’t even need to wear gloves.
Boric acid is odorless, so the baits will not cause discomfort to residents, and they are unlikely to even notice them.
A poison based on this substance not only destroys adult individuals, but also sterilizes them, inhibiting reproduction.
Boric acid is also effective against other insects, such as ants.

Disadvantages of use

There are a number of disadvantages when using such baits:

The poison has a cumulative effect; from one to three weeks will pass before the onset of a mass pestilence of cockroaches. All this time you will have to put up with unwanted neighbors.
Unfortunately, boric acid does not affect insect eggs that have already been laid, so it will have to be used several times with the appearance of each new brood and until complete hatching.
The effectiveness of the product is only about 50 percent, since only those insects that were in direct contact with the powder or balls with poison will die.
There is an addictive effect to the product. Fortunately, such cases are few.
Although boric acid is safe for people and pets, allergies may occur in children under 3 years of age or who are prone to allergic reactions. Direct contact with the substance should also be avoided by pregnant and lactating women, people suffering from kidney failure or skin diseases.
This remedy works well in cases where there are not many insects. Alas, it cannot cope with hordes. You will have to resort to the services of professionals.

How to make poison for cockroaches from eggs and boric acid

There are many ways to prepare various baits that include boric acid. The most famous recipe for combating harmful insects is prepared using egg yolk.

A folk remedy for cockroaches with boric acid and egg, the proportions for preparation are as follows:

one yolk from a raw or boiled chicken egg;
50 grams of boric acid.

To prepare the bait, you need to mix the ingredients to a thick, homogeneous paste. If the mixture is a little dry, you can add a little water to it to get the desired consistency. You can also add a few drops of aromatic sunflower oil or sugar to the mixture to attract insects to the bait. Then form the mixture into small flat balls. They need to be placed in places where insects appear most often.

Boric acid against cockroaches recipe with egg how to use?

One portion of this recipe is enough to get rid of pests in one room. To distribute the egg balls throughout the apartment, increase the amount of ingredients proportionally. The effect can be expected 2-3 days after laying out the bait. Moreover, in the days before death, insects show noticeable slowness and stop hiding.

Care should also be taken that they have no other food sources other than poisoned egg balls. To do this, you need to clean the kitchen well and make sure that there are no crumbs or other food left, as well as drops of water.

It is important to prevent the insect from drinking water, otherwise it will survive if it drinks enough liquid. Don't forget to take out the trash

If these measures are not taken, the effect of the decomposed poison will not bring the desired result.

Note!

It is better to prepare and lay out bait for pests using gloves and a protective mask. Although the powder is relatively safe for humans, it is still necessary to avoid getting the drug on the mucous membranes. Therefore, personal protective equipment is required.

It is also important to ensure that pets and children do not have access to the poison. Cockroach poison made from boric acid and eggs is an excellent folk remedy that has been used to combat these insects for a long time

Cockroach poison made from boric acid and eggs is an excellent folk remedy that has been used to combat these insects for a long time.

The use of cockroach poison with boric acid has both positive and negative reviews. For example, such a folk remedy is safe for adults, since, unlike chemical insecticides, it does not cause allergies. Spraying sprays and aerosols requires careful ventilation of the room, since even the absence of odor makes the air after their use heavy for humans.

However, there are also negative aspects. First of all, we are talking about the impossibility of laying out bait in an apartment where there are pets and small children. Both the first and second can get poisoned by tasting this bait. Therefore, having decided to place the balls around the apartment, children and pets should be sent to relatives during the bullying.

Recipe for cockroaches with boric acid and eggs and potatoes

Roll the resulting mass into small balls;
Spread the bait when the pieces are a little dry. It's better to put them on paper.

It should be noted that the poison only affects adults and does not help in the fight against parasite eggs. Therefore, it is recommended to lay out fresh bait from time to time to get rid of annoying insects for a long time.

It must be remembered that cleanliness in the house is the key to success in the fight against cockroaches.

Edible baits

There are many recipes based on boric acid that can fight cockroaches. You can prepare insect poison yourself at home. All folk recipes are based on egg yolk, which neutralizes the odor of boric acid and causes appetite in cockroaches.

General characteristics and principle of action on insects

Boric acid has the chemical formula H3BO3, which everyone studies in school in chemistry lessons. This substance has weak acidic properties. Boric acid is a powder in the form of small white crystals, odorless and tasteless. Slightly soluble in cold water and highly soluble in hot water. In nature, this substance is found in the form of a mineral - sassolin, mineral waters and geysers, as well as hot springs.

Boric acid has been widely used by humans: from nuclear reactors to disinfectants. Boric acid is also used as an effective folk remedy against cockroaches, which belongs to hazard class III.

It is used as a basis for preparing insect poison or used in its pure form.

A substance with antiseptic properties is sold in pharmacies in 10 gram bags, it is part of boric alcohol, which is not effective against cockroaches due to its pungent odor, which repels insects from the poison. But in powder form, this remedy is simply irreplaceable in the fight against cockroaches, as it is a strong poison for them.

When it enters the pest’s digestive system, the acid is absorbed into the blood and has a paralytic effect on its central nervous system, causing the cockroach to die from suffocation. It is enough for an insect to eat 2-3 mg of the substance, so 1 sachet is enough to destroy an entire colony of Prussians.

To effectively combat cockroaches, you can use the following methods:

use of powder in its pure form;
preparation of boric acid-based baits;
the use of solutions of a substance as a poison.

Often, to get rid of cockroaches, it is enough to sprinkle the powder in places where they move: baseboards, under furniture, under the sink. If a cockroach walks through the powder, its particles will remain on the insect's legs. Cleaning its paws with its jaws from contamination, the pest will eat the poison. To achieve maximum effect, it is necessary to block insects' access to water sources. After drinking water, he may not die. In addition, cockroaches cannot live long without water.

To prepare a liquid anti-cockroach agent, dry boric acid powder must be diluted in water and poured into small and shallow containers, which are placed in clean and dry sinks. If there is no other water, the cockroaches will start drinking the prepared liquid.

Why doesn't the product work?

It often happens that poison with boric acid does not help get rid of cockroaches. There are several reasons for this:
Habit. When insects are poisoned with the same drug often, they develop addiction (resistance).
Insufficient coverage. It may always be that some part of the cockroaches will not taste the poison. They can find other sources of water and food that no one knows about.
Unsanitary conditions. The described substance can only help if the room is kept clean. Otherwise, insects will not touch the poison, since they already have many ways to get enough.
Troubled neighbors. If cockroaches come to you from your neighbors, then it is useless to poison them; they will crawl from there again and again. To get rid of them in this case, you need to block their access to your apartment. To do this, you need to putty the cracks in the walls, tighten the ventilation holes with mesh, and so on.
Eggs. Adult cockroaches die under the influence of boric acid. The eggs remain, it does not affect them, so the fight must be continued until the cockroaches completely disappear.

REFERENCE! If there are too many cockroaches, boric acid will most likely be useless. Some cockroaches will be poisoned, and the rest will continue to exist with you and reproduce. Then you cannot do without aggressive chemistry.

If you haven't seen cockroaches for a couple of days, it's too early to relax. To ensure that cockroaches no longer bother you, you need to pay special attention to preventing their appearance. In this case, you need to keep the apartment clean and occasionally (at least once a month) place traps with boric acid in possible places where insects appear.

How to prevent re-infestation of your home

There is no doubt that the above folk recipes will help you get rid of bugs. However, after achieving the desired effect, you should not stop there. Otherwise, your confrontation will continue constantly, and all because you do not follow the basic rules that contribute to the proliferation of parasite colonies in your home.

We strongly recommend that you carry out preventive treatment of the premises:
Periodically sprinkle boron powder on sewer pipe risers, vents, the inside of outlets, and so on.
Periodically prepare the above baits and place them around the apartment in the proper places.
Carry out wet cleaning of the room by adding one teaspoon of ammonia to one bucket of water.
Maintain order in the room; pests should not find food for themselves.

We are confident that your fight against insects will end in success.
