Mark Govan discusses how to use Boric Acid for flea treatment in the home but does not discuss the dangers to pets as I mentioned in the first post in this series.
Again, less toxic options are always better choices than chemical flea treatments but use caution and research your options prior to using any product because natural does not always mean non-toxic!
Try diatomaceous earth instead.
In this pest control video Mark Govan discusses how to use Borax in the home but fails to discuss pet dangers which I wrote about in the first post in this series.
Obviously, borax powder can be used for flea control and is a better alternative than some chemicals. BUT I think diatomaceous earth is safer. Once you put the borax powder down, it must be vacuumed up after a few days.
Borax IS a desiccant (drying agent) and if pet’s ingest it through licking their paws or floor it could present problems as I discussed in the first post in this series.
