The use of Boric acid has numerous advantages, it is cheap and has very low level of toxins. It may be the form of powder and might be having ingredients such as orthoboric acid, borate and sodium borate.Boric acid acts as an pesticide and herbicide and cause dessication by removing moisture from fleas making them due to dehydration. Sodium boratehas no smell so when fleas go back the treated room, they will eventually die.This makes them suitable for use at home in an effort to get rid of fleas.There are ways of using flea control boric acid at home.
Before using this chemical acid, ensure that the treatment area is a vacuum by getting rid of all the items that may be on the floor such as clothing, area rugs and dog beddings. Clean around all the baseboards and any cabinet bottoms in the room. Ensure that no children carpets go into the treatment area while you are still working with the powder.
Before applying on the baseboards, shake the canister that has this acid thoroughly.Apply on base boards, the closets and the cabinet bases. The powder should be brushed in to the crevices using a hard brush. In case any powder remains on the surface, let it be vacuumed soonest possible.
In houses with carpets and covered floors, a light coating of borate should be applied. The canister is well shaken, in sideways motion. Areas where a pet likes to lay or stay or lives should be prioritized when administering proper treatment of the same. The applicant should brush the powder very deep into the fibre of the mat using spiky brushes or push brooms or even where possible, use stiff powder until a point where no substance is seen.
Apply the powder deep into furniture like the bottoms and areas where the arms meet the seats. To get the chemical into the crevices, use a brush or a hand broom. In case there are removable seat cushions, the flea powder should be applied underneath them. Any powder that can be traced on the surface of the furniture should be vacuumed.
After the clean-up process, the vacuum bag must be disposed outside the house and far from reach of children and pets. Sealing should be done for removable dust cups from the vacuum and the routine of vacuuming should be redone a day after.
Boric is the most efficient chemical used to kill fleas. These insects live on blood gotten from host animals such as cats and dogs. They can also feed on human blood.
Very small amounts of this chemical can last for a very long time so long as it remains in powder form. Therefore when fleas encroach already treated areas, they die. It remains extremely toxic to fleas but less harmful to people, pets and other non target animals. Its toxic levels to human beings can be compared to those of table salt though having slightly higher levels.
