Hi,

I posted under a subject of termites about boric acid. I wanted to
see what experiences people, who did not read that post, have had with
boric acid for insect control. A friend has a termite problem on the
3rd floor (found droppings). Has anyone used boric acid for insect
control? Did you take any safety measures using that product?

Thanks in advance for all input.


termites don't leave droppings. They do leave mud tubes however.


They do leave droppings which they push out of tunnels through pin-hole
sized holes...sometimes their droppings are the first sign found of
term. infestations.
