Mixing Borax with food is one of the best ways you can do it for roaches.
As mentioned, roaches are not attracted to Borax.
But they will be if you mix it with something that they want to eat, such as sugar, jelly, peanut butter, or cocoa powder.
Remember to switch up your bait every few weeks.
Roaches can learn to avoid your bait overtime.
To get the best results from boric acid, you’ll also want to use it in conjunction with other pest control methods.
The different possible applications when treating cockroaches include:
- IGR’s
- Granules
- Traps
- Powder /Dust Bait
Of the list, I recommend using boric acid along with IGR’s and sticky traps.
Seal up all entry points in your home to prevent cockroaches from coming in.
Finally, use sticky traps to monitor the activity and infestation level in your home.
If there is no improvement in the number of cockroaches on your sticky trap after 15 days, re-address your strategy.
