So I have a weird issue with pincher bugs...earwigs. They were coming onto my concrete front porch at night, as I have a night light on, a 2700K color light. When I say they were coming onto the porch, I mean about 70 to 100, maybe more.So Itried the Cloves with baking soda (I didnt have bay leaves) but was assured that just those 2 would work. NOPE.Then I tried a couple other things, but nope. I knew boric acid or boron, or even Borax is something insects cannot digest and they end up dying, but they avoid the boric acid even more so.So I got this, what is stated as fine powder Boric Acid, high purity. Tried it all over the porch, and I think there were a little less, maybe 50 or so this time. I thought looking at it, the powder didnt look fine enough. So I took my blender, and MIlled it to a truly fine powder. NOT ONE pincher bug, or any other bug was on my porch. I put the stuff in one of those blower things for powder. NO, not that cheap plastic one that will work when you buy it, but will fall apart the next year or 2. No, I purchased a metal one with rubber parts. Its a little more, but better to keep 1 than buy every year or 2 and not have it the moment you need it.Put it in the blower, and have had no bugs where ever I sprayed it.

Working great

Good value. Package safe also.

More seriously, this is the most effective way I know to deal with Palmetto bugs. (after 40 years in Florida.)I can't stand the thought of spreading neurotoxins all around the house to deal with an annoyance. Boric Acid crystals are a better answer.This stuff mixes 3 to 1 with confectioners sugar. I went to the Dollar store, bought a plastic ketchup bottle, funneled the boric acid and confectioners sugar, shaked it up, cut the tip to a wider point and started squeezing. Behind and under the refrigerator, under every cabinet in the kitchen and bath. I found that it was effective to put a small pile (inch or two) and sweep it into the crevices. This product is a good price. It does what it is supposed to.Rule one: keep your house clean! No crumbs, specs of food, greasy water in the sink or hoarded old bags.Rule two: use this stuff. It irritakes the Palmettos exoskeleton and they head outside to bug heaven. We do not have "roaches" in the city sense, but this stuff is where you begin to turn the battle if you do.I stopped having a bug extermination company do my house every month when the serviceman refused to drink the chem juice he was spraying.Boric acid crystals have low toxicity, but keep it off your skin and away from your eyes.
