:) Dear Carlala, I have recently used boric acid on ants and roaches. I bought the boric acid at a local Feed and Seed Store, and they were very helpful. The bottle I bought for $4 will last a life time. The baits were inexpensive and can be reused. It took about 3 weeks for the majority to die down. But it was worth the wait. There is now only a few ants and I have refilled the bait containers and I am sure that they will be gone soon. Hope this helps. Sonya ;D
