– You can use more than 5 bowls or containers if necessary. Place the containers containing the homemade bait in different areas of the house. Look for a mound and if you can find it, place a container near it. This will speed up the extermination process.
– Borax is a harmful chemical. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Also avoid any skin contact with borax. Any skin contact will lead to many skin reactions. If you eat it, it will give you borax poisoning. Common symptoms are headache, vomiting, red eyes, and nausea. Contact your doctor immediately if any symptoms appear.
