Ratings & Reviews for Hot Shot MaxAttrax Roach Powder with Boric Acid 1.0 -lb Ready to use Insect killer

Outstanding - worked quickly and well

I realize that many of you, including me was skeptical about simply using Boric Acid powder - but WOW did this work. Much better than bug spray. I followed the web recommendations, wore a dust mask and cheap gloves during application. Applied in electrical outlets, and darkened areas - including under the sink, and pocket door entrances. The reaction time from application to noticing a solid difference was a between 1-2 days. I cant say anything about duration - but the few bugs I have seen are ...

I'm moving out.

I think this product would have worked better if I hadn't sprayed Home Defense all over the place first. I like the idea of the roachs going back to the nest with the borax powder on them, but I hated the idea that they would still be alive if I didn't kill them with spray first. I see one or two dead/half dead roaches around the house every couple of days, but I'm moving out, I can't stand the heebie jeebies.

Great for decks

We have an outdoor porch and use it all the time. They may get in but they aren't living long after going through this stuff. The boric acid dries them out. Only con is keep away from children and pets!

This works!

This stuff works. They take a while to die, but no roaches and no ants now. My only problem is there is no way to inject it into a crack adjoining a ceiling or a countertop, because the powder moves down.

boric acid mix

i mixed the powder with mint jelly and made a gel. the ants are eating it. first they swarmed. now, the remainder eat a little at a time.

This works and keeps on working

I have a shed that I use for working on projects and it was infested with roaches because the inside was more like the outside than my regular house. I put this powder all around the baseboards, between cracks in the walls, everywhere it wouldn't be disturbed. No more roach scatter when I come in. No more egg cases. It has been years since the first application

Roaches in my auto

I purchased a used auto and found it was infested with Roaches. I put a little of Hot Shot Roach Killer powder down and poof NO MORE ROACHES! Can't ask for better than that.

Takes time but works!

A pest control company wanted to charge $300.00 for a serious german roach infestation in one of my rental properties. I purchased one bottle. Put everywhere I could think of, turned off the water to the house and left the borax for about a week. Dead roaches everywhere and no longer running around like they own the place. Great product, excellent value, takes time but works. I use around my own home and since I have been using we have had no pest problems. We live in the desert so usually exper...

Works Great

This product works great but it's not instant it takes a few days , then it removes the problem forever. I have used this product for many years in my home and rental properties. If you give it a few days you won"t see another roach or bug. Borick acid is the best killer of roaches and this product is 99% boric acid.The roaches walk though the powder and take it back to the nest this gets rid of the real problem not the few you see walking around do your research and you will very happy with you...

Don't expect much.

You might have better luck using the container to smash the bugs.

Works only in a large area

I've put this stuff everywhere, along the back wall on top of the kitchen counter, inside cabinets, etc. The best results came when I first destroyed their main living place; under the fridge. I sprayed the numerous ones I could see, I then used this as a follow-up and checked again a couple of days later to find a good number of additional dead critters. It doesn't seem to be as effective along the kitchen counter. I wrote to the company that manufactures this product to find out is it truly an...
