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

Actually works!

Cheapest and best. Everything else is a gimmick. Put this down around cracks and crevices, along baseboards and give it a week or two. Total extermination.

This is one of the best products here

every time i see just one roach i put this down in that area and they don't come back I've used other brands of Boric Acid and this is the best- you would think that Its hard to keep on the shelf but every time I go to Lowes either in store or online they have it ready and available and at a good price :)

Works, safe for humans and environment!

Last fall I put this in problem areas for roaches and ants and across windowsills and thresholds, and they disappeared within days. Found a few ants sniffing around yesterday and threw down more across the front threshold where they were entering, and they are nowhere to be found today. Stuff is cheap, easy to use, easy to clean, and safe, and most importantly IT WORKS.

Ant killer

I discovered this product a few years ago when it was recommended as an ant killer and I love it! It's cheap and will last me decades. It works like magic to rid you of ants for good literally overnight. I've needed it once or twice a year and every time, they are gone within a day or 2 max and don't return. Mix 1/3 cup sugar and 1 Tablespoon boric acid powder with 1 cup of warm water. Soak a cottonball with the solution and place on a jar lid or in milk cap. Fill with more solution if needed. ...

Not for pets

My little dog is sick from this put in back of outlets AC blew it out on the floor. I had sore throat. Soap is safer or sticky tape.

Killing them softly

Well, I was hoping the product would repel more however I'm pleased; the waterbugs are dieing and not as many. I would repurchase, if needed.

DOES WORK

this product does work. the key is adding sugar to it. The roaches are attracted to the sugar, will consume and take back to the rest.

Did not work - Even after 10 days. same as usual

Used this powder in all over the house. Roaches are walking on and around it like it is nothing to them. saw only 2 dead in 10 days and I have hard time believing that it killed only 2. they are infested everywhere. If you see 20-30 reviews with 5 stars that looks like from the people of the company who makes the product or must be paid reviews. I hate paid reviews. If there is no verified purchase and unique buyer then it is hard to say reviews are true. Lowe's should have Verified purchas...

Real user

I don't know if these reviews were paid for or what..... Lowe's probably pays for high review but I'll keep it real, for bad infestation don't waste your money on this. DOES NOT WORK.DONT BUY IT I put this stuff in corners, floor boards, holes, etc.... Roaches are still walking around like they pay rent. This was a complete waste of money.

It Works! No Smell!

I live in a 2nd floor condo and have been living here for 3 months with no sign of roaches at all. Then one night I saw the biggest roach I had ever seen in my life crawling through a crack where the ceiling fan met the ceiling in my bedroom. I caulked the crack and prayed it was just a fluke. The next night I saw another roach running across the floor of my living room. I am a clean freak so it wasn't a matter of having a dirty home. I have no idea where it entered from so I went online to find...

Not the product I wanted but had to settle

I wanted boric acid. This product states it contains boric acid but it does not work as quickly as 100% boric acid. Not satisfied with this product. The sales associate was very helpful and friendly. Stayed with me until I found this substitute because the store did not have boric acid. She was very patient. Also informed me about the product. The product just does not work as well as the 100% boric acid. I would recommend the product only if there is nothing else available. The only issue is th...

Great Product to get rid of Roaches!

This stuff seems to work great and fast. I put it around edges of the house and garage and the Roaches are gone! So happy! :)

Messy, but works like a charm

Nothing kills roaches better. Takes time to see results but this stuff is a roach's worst nightmare. Use wisely, keep out of ALL areas accessible to kids and pets. Kind of messy to use because it's in powder form. Use in cracks, crevices and other areas where family or pets don't come in contact with.

Roach powder

Within 2-3 days of using the powder we saw the results - dead bug! It is very easy to use with the container design. Will always have this product handy for our Florida home.

Alternative Ant Killer

Had a bunch of Carpenter Ants & Sugar Ants in a couple of rooms. This product is 99% Boric Acid which is the best for killing the ants in the nest. Within two days all sign of ants gone. Care needs to be taken on where you put the powder

fleas!

Boric acid powder is - and always has been - the best and SAFEST solution to "Flea-Festation"

not good

the bugs laughed at it,,,
