| - Boric Acid (chemical formula H3BO3) is commonly used antiseptic and insecticide. It usually comes in powdered form, which is then mixed with water. It occurs naturally in nature and can be extracted from borax. It is toxic and about 2.5 grams will kill an average adult if it is ingested or inhaled. In addition, long term exposure to low doses can damage the kidneys. In medicine, boric acid is commonly used in first aid to prevent infection to small cuts and scrapes. In a very dilute solution, it can be used as an eye wash. In powdered form, it can prevent athlete's foot.
- Boric acid has been used for over half a century for the control of insects. Boric acid was first registered in the US as an insecticide in 1948 for control of cockroaches, termites, fire ants, fleas, silverfish, and many other insects. The product is generally considered to be safe to use in household kitchens to control cockroaches and ants.] It acts as a stomach poison affecting the insects' metabolism, and the dry powder is abrasive to the insects' exoskeletons.
- Boric acid, also called hydrogen borate, boracic acid, orthoboric acid and acidum boricum, is a weak, monobasic Lewis acid of boron often used as an antiseptic, insecticide, flame retardant, neutron absorber, or precursor to other chemical compounds. It has the chemical formula H3BO3 (sometimes written B(OH)3), and exists in the form of colorless crystals or a white powder that dissolves in water. When occurring as a mineral, it is called sassolite. For control of invisible biting mites boric acid can be useful in several ways to poison mites and control them in the environment.
