                        INEXPENSIVE ant killer when other products/methods fail
                        With this boric acid powder, you can make your own VERY EFFECTIVE ant killer. If you take the time to search some do-it-yourself sites, a few demonstrations and explanations will show you how to mix, what proportions of boric acid powder to use to what proportion of sweet-sugary-based or oily-grease-based foodstuff to use, and how to keep it moist. I use a small dab of high-fructose corn syrup and sugar strawberry jam (makes a pink color bait) ... or small dab of creamy peanut butter for the other kind of ant appetite. Find their marching trail, and dribble a bit around the trap (I use an plastic lid from an old food jar or beverage container .... and the little guys can't resist! Within a half hour, the thing is swarming with ants feeding, and taking the poison back to their lair - presumably to feed the others and the QUEEN and her larvae. I t should take about 72 hours or so, and there is a dramatic reduction, and eventually a complete halt to ant activity in your kitchen, or bathroom, or wherever you see them inside your house. Usual cautions apply if you have pets or infants. This will work when the pre-made baits don't do the trick.

                        This roach powder works really good. Remember, this powder does not wo instantly, in about two weeks you get extremely good results. Forget about Raid Spray or forgers, this powder works and no smell at all. Try it.

                        I purchased two pounds of Maxattrax about two weeks ago for my elderly parents kitchen and freezer room. Because this is not toxic I put it in all the cabinet drawers, around the floors, under and behind the stove,refridge and the freezer. So far the bugs are gone like magic.
