BorActin Insecticide Powder
BorActin Insecticide Powder
BorActin Powder is manufactured by Rockwell Labs and is a broad-spectrum insecticide dust which is effective and easy to use. The main active ingredient is boric acid, so it is a natural product that is lethal against household insects but practically harmless against humans and pets.
BorActin can be used indoors or outdoors and is not affected by heat and will remain active indefinitely. There's no need to apply this product repeatedly as it can stay effective long after application.
Tools Needed
BorActin Insecticide Powder Is a versatile product and can be used right out of the container (if you have the smaller bottle with the applicator tip) or you can use a handheld pesticide duster.
How to Use
- Step 1: Inspect your pest problem and observe where they are active so you know where to focus your treatment.
- Step 2: Apply using an appropriate duster at a rate of 1 lb per 1000 sq ft in cracks and crevices and other voids and areas where you suspect insect activity.
Where to Use
BorActin Insecticide Powder can be used in almost any man-made structure to treat for pests. Focus your attention on cracks and crevices like in wall voids, electrical outlet areas, around window and door frames, drains, sewers etc.
When to Use
Use BorActin Insecticide Powder when you have a insect problem where the pests are crawling out of tight spaces and when other methods of control are not safe.
Safety Information
BorActin Insecticide Powder is safe to use when applied according to label directions. Ensure that no powder is visible in living areas after application. If any powder is left visible, it should be brushed into cracks and crevices or removed. Apply only in areas inaccessible to children and pets.
Special Considerations
BorActing comes in a 25 pound bucket, a 36 x 4 ounce Package or a 1 pound container.
