 Found this recipe for mixing with Boric Acid for roach control and thought I would share it:
Heloise’s Boric Acid Roach Exterminating Formula
8 ounces powdered boric acid
1/2 cup flour
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 small onion, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup cooking oil or bacon drippings
(or more to form a soft dough).
Cream shortening and sugar, mix boric acid, flour and onion. Add to sugar, and oil. Blend well, then add more oil as needed to form a soft dough. Shape into small balls the size of marbles. (If balls are placed in opened, plastic sandwich bags, the dough will stay softer longer.) Place balls throughout the house in places normally inhabited by roaches (any dark, damp corner). Caution: Make sure no children or pet can come in contact with these balls, as it is toxic and keep out of direct contact with any food. When dough becomes brick hard, replace with a fresh batch.
We also love Borid Aerosol, easy to use formula.
This insecticide is for use only with the injection tube for injecting into cracks and crevices and void spaces where insects may be hiding, lying and breeding.
- Place injector tip 1/2″ into cracks, crevices, holes and other small openings where insects may be a problem.

Cockroaches are known to adapt to any environment, but largely prefer to inhabit your home because of warm conditions. Known to scurry around at night, cockroaches will take residence in the corners of your house, feeding off human or pet food and leaving a repulsive odor. They are the most common household pest insect, and can carry microbes potentially dangerous to humans. These microbes can cause allergic reactions, and have even been linked to asthma. Cockroach removal can be quite an arduous task and requires the assistance of a professional.
