Borax and cockroaches don’t mix well. The sodium borate, which is the technical term for Borax, kills roaches. What happens is the roaches will get the Borax all over their feet when they walk right through it. Then, they’ll ingest it sometime later, which will eventually kill them. Compared to most chemical pest control treatments, it’s a relatively low-risk product. You should still keep it out of reach of children and pets but you can use it carefully around your house without leaving chemical residue or nasty smells everywhere. The most practical way to use borax to get rid of roaches is to lightly dust areas where you see high roach traffic. You don’t want a thick layer because they’ll just walk around it. The best way to get perfect results every time is to lightly dust the area where they are living. When they walk over these lightly dusted areas, the powder will stick on to their legs and body. They will eventually get to cleaning themselves by licking and eating the borax stuck to them. Once ingested, it kills them. Often enough, a roach that dies from borax still has more stuck onto it. Other roaches will feast on them and get poisoned as well. So It works out great for you when they return to their nest and die there, as other roaches will be infected as well with the borax. One dead roach kills another dozen or more. For added potency you can mix equal parts borax and sugar, pouring the mixture into a squeezable bottle and dusting the areas where you’ve seen roaches.
