Works super... A few weeks, quite effective as part of a treatment.
This review is for 2 pack boric acid. I ordered this after using a 1 lb. bottle of the same product. This product appears quite effective against roaches over a period of weeks. There was a rental apartment where the guy getting removed was a total ass, piling bits of food all over his place and leaving the refrigerator full of food with the power turned off, imagine the roach party. This material, combined with duck tape strips turned sticky side up(make a small tab on each end to handle it, gorilla tape works best), and DuPont chemical out of a squeeze tube(looks like a huge needle) applied sparingly where they travel on a piece of cardboard over a period of approximately 2 weeks eradicated the roach infestation. It takes time and a combination approach to rid yourself or your rental properties, patience and reapplication, observation of where they travel for better placements, and eliminate easy access to water is the key to swaying the battle in your direction. This product is definitely cheap for what it does, took some time learning how to apply a dust from the bottle, a certain technique of tilt and squeeze pressure but once you get it this is the best way boric acid works, a light dust. Roaches really hate this stuff, brown, german, etc. gets them all... Over time, several days. The combination works great, dont rely of just one product either... It's a combination of products, sealing off cracks, pipes running though your walls under the sink and such (duct mastic, plumbers putty, etc) , denying them water... this is key(stoppering the sink at night... They love your drain pipes... Plenty of water in the traps)... to eliminate them. This product dusted under your frig, stove, and dishwasher... and behind them, is very effective... Out of sight but killing the little bugggers. Boric acid kills slower but is a lot safer, the DuPont spread sparingly on small pieces of cardboard is the second punch, and youd be amazed how well some well placed, extremely sticky high quality duck tape works. Like I said, it's not an instant process if the place you're treating is infested, but after two weeks this location treated went from I estimate many, many hundreds down to the occasional already dying, punch drunk poisoned roach or two. You'll recognize those, come out in the daytime, wobble, stagger, and don't act like a roach at all... Lol. I recommend this product as part of a pronged attack, it's relatively cheap and works and can be applied unlike other products in areas that others would be difficult to do.
