Zap-A-Roach 3 Pk, Boric Acid Roach & Ant Killer NET Wt. 5 Oz. (142 GMS) Each

Much needed product. For some reason I've had an influx of roaches in my kitchen and didn't know why. It's been more than 30yrs since I've had to even deal with roaches. But as I thought back, I remembered that boric acid was instrumental in gaining control of them back then. So I purchased this product with multiple bottles for a good price. And I'm glad I did!!! It did not let me down. As I put it down along the edges of the cabinets and floor. With in one day, starting finding dead roaches. With in one week, they were completely gone! No really, all gone! It's been a month and a half and still, No roaches...

Set this out as bait and laid waste to a colony of ants. They were benign, harmless, even industrious - their only sin was existing in the same sphere as me. Within a day they were feasting on the sugar water and acid mixture I laid out for them. Within 2 days they were gone. Yeh, this is a powerful tool. But beware the toll it may take on your conscience, laying such a humble and hardworking expression of life to absolute ruin.

I have mixed reviews but only because I think my main issue was after I laid the boric acid I still had seen a couple of roaches in my apartment after 2 months. I don't think it was to any fault of the product simply because my apartment complex was heavily infested due to one filthy tenant that happen to live below me. Otherwise, I can say despite that minor discrepancy it did reduce the number of roaches I've seen but just use caution in how it is laid and make sure to get every nook and cranny because if the roaches don't cross into this stuff you might be disappointed.

My living quarters are roach free. But my yard and my house's dirt-floored utility area--attached to the house--are not. Until the reasons for that are handled, I need to keep roaches out of the house's living area. A line of (unscented) boric acid can do that. (Unscented because if you use scented roach killers, some roaches who can smell them will avoid them and breed more roaches.) I place a line of boric acid across doorways from outside to inside. Roaches who touch that line will die at some point shortly after they cross. It is hard to get the fine boric acid powder evenly out of the bottle. I unscrew the lid, get a pile out, and then spread it out with a new wooden craft stick, which I throw away far from where any child can get it. This method of roach control is NOT safe if you have small children or pets.

This product has been effective in getting rid of ants in the past. This was a 3 pack so I thought it was a better value for the price. First of all, the bottles are much smaller than what I bought previously. And I was expecting full bottles but was disappointed that each bottle wasn't even 50% full.

Beware of false advertising! I have purchased this product brand many times in the past. There are two bottles that are named the same but one doesn’t work. If you see the current picture of this product, the bottle is entirely yellow. When I received this product, the bottle is covered by a yellow plastic but on the very top of the bottle you see the white part of the bottle exposed. This happened to me with a previous order here with this product and I decided to try it anyway. It did not work at all!!! This is the second time that I’m fooled by misrepresentation of a product here. It’s a hassle for me, but this time I'm returning this product!!!

This boric acid is easy to use and very cost effective. It's supposed to be for ants and roaches, but we found it works on termites ( or carpenter ants?) too. Takes about 3 days to kill all those pesky termites. A lot cheaper than the termite guy's $2k bid, and likely worked just as well.

Love this product
