Review: Cost Effective for Stopping Roaches! - I had success with the Hot Shots Powder with Boric Acid against a roach infestation. The key to this product is understanding how to properly use it. 1. You can attempt to use the product as a barrier to prevent roaches and other pests from entering your home. I personally found this to be messy and ineffective. While this product will kill roaches on contact, you need to take the fight directly to their nest to stop an infestation. 2. You can create bait traps by mixing the Hot Shot powder with granulated sugar – the real stuff, not Sweet N’ Low or Splenda. I created traps by filling a plastic soda pop bottle cap with the powder, sprinkling in some sugar, and mixing it together with a toothpick. I attached a picture of my bait trap for reference. 3. Before placing your traps, you must thoroughly clean infested areas to ensure roaches have no other food sources. Roaches can survive off miniscule food crumbs, and even mold, mildew, and the feces and corpses of other roaches. I thoroughly cleaned my floors with a mixture of soap, bleach, and water, while also sanitizing hard surfaces with Lysol wipes. It is pivotal for you to eliminate sources where they can score free meals. 4. Place your bait traps in corners of rooms, underneath sinks, or behind toilets. Give it three days and wait for the roaches to consume the poison, dehydrate, and die. Their peers will eat their carcasses and also become poisoned as Boric acid cannot be metabolized by their bodies. Refill your bait traps as needed until the infestation is quelled. This product exceptionally well for me when used as a bait trap. It helped decimate an infestation in a rental property caused by messy tenants within four days. It may take longer for you depending on how bad your infestation is. I would not recommend this product if you have pets, as they may eat it and become sick. At less than $3 for a 16oz bottle, it’s very cost-effective, and can be applied multiple times.
Review: Use to Kill Arthropods; Directions in review - This is boric acid powder (BA). There is no added coloring, so it does not stain. It is used to kill insects and arachnids (arthropods). It is child- and pet-safe. The way it works is the bug cleans itself by "licking" the powder off after it walks through the powder. Once ingested, the BA eats away the insides of the bug, killing it. If you mix this 10:1 with diatomaceous earth (DE), it will provide better killing action. The DE is microscopic organism skeletons. Think of a sand dollar skeleton you might find on a beach, but small enough to appear to be powder to your eye. Millions of these tiny skeletons make up DE. Once mixed with the MaxAttack (10 DE to 1 MA), the DE will infiltrate the arthropod's joints, while the MA will attack as described above. This works particularly well with fleas on carpet. Beware! The fleas will still persist for up to about 6 weeks. About 10 days before this becomes effective (4 to 6 weeks in), you will see more fleas than you ever imagined. They will be seen everywhere. Then, like magic, after about a week or so, the fleas will disappear, never to be seen again. Another tip is to buy swimming-pool-filter DE, as the insecticide DE is very expensive. You can also use the food-grade DE (used as a desiccant in stored foods), which falls between the insecticide and swimming pool DE, price-wise. The food-grade DE is what I use. This powder MUST remain dry. If you steam clean or spill water on a large section of the carpet or pet bedding, you must reapply the powder once things have dried. This 10:1 mixture can be spread using a mason jar with holes punched in the lid, making a very large salt-shaker-like applicator. Just sprinkle it around on carpets or other soft material, and work it in a little with a broom or whisk. After about 3 days, you can vacuum as normal. Just remember that it loses its effectiveness if you get it wet. The DE also acts as a desiccant to dry up the bug eggs, preventing them from hatching. After using the "salt shaker," replace the perforated lid with an intact lid to keep the powder mixture dry for next use. I have used BA in the past to sprinkle inside wall voids. If you have the drywall or siding off, sprinkle a very light dusting of this on your sill plate before enclosing the wall again. Any bugs that infiltrate through the wall will walk through this powder, killing it as described above. If your walls are intact, you can introduce it through outlets and switches if you are willing to remove the covers and "spritz" it through the wire openings into the wall voids. Be cautious not to touch any electrical connections. An extender such as an aquarium hose pushed onto the nozzle will allow you more distance (and therefore safety) between you and any electrical connections.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is it so expensive at Amazon? Lowe's has it under $3**
A: Yes, I agree! Buy it from Home Depot! It has the same boric acid “percentage” it’s literally the exact same so I don’t know why they’re trying to charge $11+ when we can get it for less than $3

**Q: Does it kill black carpet beetles?**
A: Yes it will kill all insects in carpet.  It will take a week or so because maxattrax attacks'
the nervous system of insects.  It does not kill instantly.  I have been using this product for years.

**Q: How small is the tip?**
A: It's fairly small, to reach into cracks and be precise with. I personally just sprayed it EVERYWHERE and went a little overboard, it did work though!

**Q: Can I use this to make bait for crickets in the basement?**
A: You used it to avoid insects to get in the house and it worked.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Order by itself.
*by C***M on July 17, 2023*

The product does as it says and works great. If you order it do not order it and let it get mixed with other products. Both times I have ordered it the lids have come off and they do not have a separate seal so the product got all over everything in the shipping box. Amazon took care of both problems as Amazon always does. Hot Shot needs to add a seal to the top of the bottle like Milk or most other products have so if the lid comes off the powder stays in the bottle.
