BORIC POWDER

Boric acid is considered one of the most effective and natural way to get rid of those pesky pests in your home and it is used to kill cockroaches, ants, fleas, termites, silverfish, beetles, wood borers, and other parasites.

Boric powder, also known as boric acid, is used in various ways depending on the intended application.

Safety: Keep the powder out of reach of pets and children, as ingestion can be harmful.
For Termites:

Direct Application: Apply boric powder to termite-infested areas, such as wooden structures or soil near the foundation.
2. Antiseptic
For Minor Cuts and Burns:

Preparation: Dissolve a small amount of boric powder in water (usually 1 teaspoon per cup of water).
Application: Use the solution to rinse the affected area or apply it using a clean cloth or cotton ball.
3. Preservative
For Food Storage:

Usage: In some cases, boric powder is used to preserve certain foods, but this use is less common and often subject to regulations. Always follow guidelines and legal regulations if considering this application.
