ONCE A YEAR FLEA CONTROL USING BORATES/DUST/POWDERS
DO YOUR OWN PEST CONTROL




  • Another choice for treating for fleas in the home would be a GRANULATED   boric acid (borates ). This flea control powder is designed to work well into the carpet, so it is not messy and very simple to use.

  • The granulated form will cut the cycle of the flea at the larvae stage, the fine powder will not cut the cycle.

  • When you use boric acid as a dust for carpets, the fine dust does not apply well in the carpet.

  • Although flea control can take 4-6 weeks, this granulated boric acid has a residual of one year. Like your insect growth inhibitors, this product will cut into the cycle at the larvae stage taking it 4-6 weeks to see results.

  • This 5 lb. product will cover between 2,000-2,500 sq. ft. of carpet for the 5 lb. container. Working with a broom, or a carpet rake you would lightly sprinkle it into the carpet, concentrating in areas where your pet spends most of it's time, then work the visible powder into the carpet with a broom.

    If you wanted more immediate relief you can combine it with ULTRACIDE, an aerosol with a residual insecticide to kill the adult fleas and an insect growth regulator.

    Do not vacuum for one week after application of this flea dust allowing it to work into the carpet.
