woolybear Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 My appartment has fleas. I usually manage to kill 2 or 3 a day but by how many I miss makes me wonder how many are in here. I seem to recall some kind of glue trap for them but may be confusing that with the mouse traps. Thoughts on where to start here without fogging the joint? This ain't good at all.:chair: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 BORAX, OR SODIUM TETRABORATE, - is a combination of sodium, boron and oxygen, and is mined from the soil in its crude form. Boric acid is a crystalline material derived from borax. Caution: Remember, boric acid and all boron products can act as a stomach poison when ingested. While 20 Mule Team Borax® is extremely effective in controlling or eliminating ants, termites, weeds, lice, fleas, spiders and roaches, the Dial Corporation notes, “This product has not been tested nor received approval from the EPA for use as a 27 pesticide.” Even so if you mop or spray the floors, voids, sill boxes, tunnels, backs of furniture, appliances and other areas where you see insect pests with borax - you will be surprised on how great the material controls virtually all pests. It has been used for years to make cellulose insulation insect free and fire retardant. It also is great for removing stains in carpeting and/or odors in urinals, etc. - so mop to remove odors and to help clean - in doing so you will also control pests “accidentally”. I have personally cleaned up an apartment that was overun with fleas using this stuff in 4 days total and never had any even hatch out from the eggs! It works great and it's as easy to use as carpet freshener! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
