Borax is very effective when it comes to handling fleas in the house especially the carpet and furniture. It is not even toxic or harmful for human beings, so you can be sure that the house will clean up of fleas and you won't have to face any side affects.
Yes it does. If you are a dog owner, you know the greatness of products like Program and Comfortis. Borax works just like those two medications, except for your home. If you kill the flea before they can reproduce, you open the loop. Remember, NEVER use borax on your pet. Also, wash and vacuum and clean everywhere, as part of environmental control of a flea infestation. One more thing; make sure to treat your pet, and keep it off borax-treated areas.
It DOES work - Boric acid kills fleas larvae, but is not as effective at killing the adults - so you kill the larvae and the adults die off naturally with age and there are no larvae to replace them - so you get flea control...
Yes. Borax kills fleas and insects by desiccating their bodies. "Desiccate" means "dry out." They get so dehydrated that their bodies become like desert mummies. It does the same to flea eggs.
BORAX DOES NOT KILL FLEAS!!! My husband and I have been fighting a battle with the fleas and we decided while we were waiting to be rid of them that we would do some experimenting...I put a flea in a baggie with borax and he lived days and days swimming in it...Dry borax, wet borax...no difference...It doesn't work!! We have found that the thing that works better is getting flea traps!! Buy them, put them in every affected room...Kill the suckers before they can lay their eggs.. Also...just in case..get someone to spray your house with IGR...This will not work alone though.
