Amen to this! I have done this @ the last two place where I moved in, totally covered floors, carpets, etc. w/ borax, used broom to sweep into cracks, etc., then vacuumed up. It not only kills fleas, but it keeps away *all* bugs for approx 1 year! PITA to do (and I recommend wearing a mask), but awesome results... Sis (Cathe in Michigan) told me about this more than a decade ago, thx! :-) Vicki who lives in *buggy* central Florida > > Hi EveryOne, > > Borax is boron and very drying....rather than put it directly on > the skin which doesn't seem like such a good idea as it would > probably irritate, it can be spread around baseboards and on rugs > and then vacuumed up 24 hours later to help control fleas. > > I have read that it is toxic to animals so be cautious about > applying it directly. > > Peace, Love and Harmony, > Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
