Isn’t this similar to what borax?? does to fleas?
A few years back, I had a pretty bad flea infestation. (No pets, but there were tons of feral cats hanging around)
I bought a 3 lb jar of this stuff called “Fleabusters”
Still have almost 3 lbs!
Only used maybe two tablespoons of the stuff spread around and NO FLEAS! The fleas BIT THE DUST!
Orthoboric acid, 64%
Not cheap, $45 for 3 lbs, but genocide for fleas!
Orthoboric acid? Is that a specialty product?
I got a 1-lb container of 100% boric acid for an ant infestation a couple of years ago for $2.00 at either Family Dollar or Dollar General.
Well I pay $50. every three months to treat my cat with “Resolution” directly on his skin. It works but I would prefer something I wouldn’t have to put on the cat.
Where does one get this “Fleabusters...and where did you spread it around? Is it dangerous if an animal eats it?
An excellent mange medicine is borax disolved in 3.0% hydrogen peroxide.
I've used it, it works.
“Orthoboric acid, 64%”
Is that the stuff that has glass like sharp, angular structures to the individual grain shapes? Gets on the fleas and eviscerates them?
Interesting, thanks. I’ve used boric acid on ants and cockroaches in the past. Very effective stuff. Cheap, too. I bought a one pound container at the drug store when I was in college and the cockroaches in my student-housing “pad” disappeared after only one application. Kept that stuff waaaaay past its expiration date and would use it whenever I saw ants (luckily, never had cockroaches again after I got out of student housing). Finally threw the bottle out after 20 years and hadn’t even used a fourth of it.
