Boric acid?
Q. I have heard that boric acid is a good remedy for killing yeast infections for women whose infection did not respond to antibiotics prescribed by doctor. I am not pregnant, so I wouldn't be hurting a baby. I am aware of the dangers, but i have had this for almost a year. Did it work for anyone?

A. Yes, but it is not straight boric acid. It is a boric acid suppository that the pharmacist compounds, so you have to have a doctor's prescription. If worked very well for me, better than Diflucan ever did. The doctor told me to take one suppository nightly for four days and it was helping me by the second day. And, if you have been having the symptoms for almost a year your could have very low acidophilus levels, which help prevent yeast growth, or if you have had sex, your partner could be transferring it back and forth to you, without even having any symptoms. I suggest you see your physician if you are considering this. Hope this helps!

Will sprinkling boric acid as a powder around the base of my log home as an insecticide safe for my cat?
Q. I recently read where boric acid is a very good natural insecticide. However I am concerned with the toxicidity for my cat. I live in a log home - boric acid is also a flame retardant, and kills all sorts of pests: roaches, termites, rodents, spiders, and ants. Thanks for any information concerning the outdoor use of boric acid and PETS.

A. Boric acid and laundry borax are both good, as you said. They both have low toxicity for children and pets as long as they don't eat a lot of it or breath too much of the dust. I doubt the cats will find it appetizing. I have a friend with cats and dogs and I've used borax inside her home for insect control and the pets didn't get curious about it.

A. You are correct Boric Acid is used to clean eyes. I can not believe how many people freak out over the word Acid but I assure you it is not like battery acid. It is safe for eyes when diluted with water. It even reads eye wash right on the bottle. I have used it in the past and I just used a small teaspoon in a bowl of warm water, I really didn't use any really science. Then I just soaked a wash cloth in the solution and washed the eyes.

Asked by Anaiza - Wed Mar 19 12:13:10 2008 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments
A. . Place boric acid around others areas you see them coming from. Roaches clean themselves a lot. By walking in the boric acid, they automatically get some on them. When boric acid is ingested, it interferes with digestion and kills them.

How long does boric acid last when it is spread thoroughly to prevent roaches from reappearing in the kitchen?
Q. I have just recently moved to a new apt. and the previous tenants were not very clean and they had roaches in the kitchen area. I had the exterminator spray and I put Combat all over the apt. as well as boric acid everywhere. It is working because I haven't seen any since I moved. I want to keep it this way. The boric acid seems to be the perfect protection but I don't know if it keeps its potency or does it fade away? I abhor roaches and I want a clean, comfortable apt. to live in.

A. Be sure to change the Combats as often as it says to on the box--that's a sure way to stop them. The Boric Acid should say on the container--even if not, it's very inexpensive, and you can replace it often if it makes you feel safer. You could also do a search on boric acid + pesticide, and see what pops up :)

A. Boric acid is most commonly used as an eyewash for pink eye. It kills some insects because it is abrasive. As the insect crawls through it their exoskeleton becomes abraded and the basically dehydrate. I would suggest you try Terro. It is a bait that the ants will take back to the colony and share with the rest including the queen. Once that happens the entire colony dies. Unless a new colony gets in to your house, you're done! Most hardware stores and even some grocery stores sell it.

Q. to get rid of ants? I know I found Borax in the laundry section at Walmart, but where would I find the boric acid, if that one's better at ant killing? Oh, and does cinammon kill ants? Thanks! Can't buy which one anymore? The borax or the boric acid?... I saw Borax at Walmart just last week. I didn't buy it though because I wasn't sure it was the right stuff...

A. Boric acid is most commonly used as an eyewash for pink eye. It kills some insects because it is abrasive. As the insect crawls through it their exoskeleton becomes abraded and the basically dehydrate. I would suggest you try Terro. It is a bait that the ants will take back to the colony and share with the rest including the queen. Once that happens the entire colony dies. Unless a new colony gets in to your house, you're done! Most hardware stores and even some grocery stores sell it.
