Harris 16oz 99% Boric Acid Roach Powder w/ Lure

Pest infestations, especially from roaches, Palmetto bugs, waterbugs, and silverfish, can quickly become a significant nuisance within the home. The Harris® 16 oz. 99% Boric Acid Roach Powder with Lure provides an efficient, targeted approach to pest control that effectively eliminates these unwelcome intruders. 

With a convenient puffer bottle and applicator straw, this boric acid powder can reach even the most hidden crevices, establishing a long-lasting barrier that pests must cross to enter your living space. Using the natural pest-fighting power of boric acid, Harris Roach Powder ensures a potent solution without the need for messy sprays or invasive chemical treatments.

Potent Active Ingredient: 99% Boric Acid

The primary ingredient in Harris Roach Powder is 99% Boric Acid, a trusted and effective compound known for its ability to control a range of household pests. Boric acid is an environmentally safe insecticide that works by disrupting the digestive and nervous systems of insects upon ingestion, leading to their eventual elimination. Its potency and long-lasting effects make it a popular choice for addressing infestations without risking the health of your household. Boric acid provides a comprehensive solution for pest control and is effective against a variety of pests, including:

• Cockroaches
• Silverfish
• Palmetto bugs
• Waterbugs

Boric acid is particularly advantageous due to its low toxicity to humans and pets when used correctly, making it suitable for home environments. When placed strategically, the Harris Roach Powder establishes an effective barrier in hard-to-reach areas, ensuring that even hidden pests cannot escape its action.

Convenient Application for Hard-to-Reach Areas

One of the standout features of Harris Roach Powder is its user-friendly application. The puffer bottle comes equipped with a straw applicator that allows for precise, targeted dispersal of the powder. This applicator makes it easy to reach narrow cracks, crevices, and tight spaces where roaches and other pests often hide. Applying the powder in these hidden areas helps prevent exposure to non-target areas while maximizing the product’s effectiveness by placing it directly in the pests’ pathways.

The puffer bottle also allows for controlled dispensing, reducing waste and ensuring that the powder is applied exactly where it is needed. The ease of application makes it an ideal choice for homeowners who need a no-fuss, effective pest control solution for difficult-to-access spaces like baseboards, under appliances, and wall voids.

Lure-Enhanced Formula for Increased Attraction

To improve the product’s effectiveness, Harris Roach Powder is formulated with a lure that attracts pests to the powder. This feature ensures that insects, such as cockroaches and silverfish, are more likely to come into contact with the boric acid, increasing the likelihood of ingestion and subsequent elimination. The lure works by enticing pests to the powder, allowing them to carry it back to nesting areas, where it may affect other members of the population.

This lure-enhanced formulation makes Harris Roach Powder a more effective solution than standard boric acid products. By attracting pests, it ensures that the powder has a greater chance of reaching and eliminating roaches and other insects, providing faster and more comprehensive results.

How Harris Roach Powder Works

The boric acid in Harris Roach Powder functions by targeting the digestive and nervous systems of insects. When insects come into contact with the powder, it clings to their legs and antennae, and they inadvertently ingest it while grooming. Once ingested, the boric acid interferes with their metabolism, gradually causing death. Since insects often carry the powder back to their nests, the product can impact other members of the infestation, further helping to reduce pest populations within the home.

Because of the way boric acid works, Harris Roach Powder does not provide immediate knockdown results, but rather a gradual, long-term solution that targets entire infestations. This slower action is beneficial as it allows the powder to reach larger populations, including hidden and inaccessible nest sites.

Safe, Effective Use Tips for Optimal Results

To maximize the effectiveness of Harris Roach Powder, it is essential to follow recommended application guidelines. Below are some tips for achieving optimal results:

• Apply Strategically: Focus on areas where pests are known to hide or travel, such as behind appliances, under sinks, around baseboards, and in cracks and crevices.
• Use Sparingly: A light dusting is sufficient for effective pest control. Over-application can lead to visible powder and may reduce its effectiveness by creating a barrier that insects avoid.
• Keep Out of Reach of Children and Pets: Although boric acid is low in toxicity, it is best to avoid placing the powder in areas accessible to children and pets. Use only in hidden areas that are unlikely to come into direct contact with non-target individuals.

By following these tips, you can achieve safe, effective pest control that minimizes the need for reapplication.
