He mineral ākea ka waikawa Boric i loaʻa i nā ʻano kaiapuni like ʻole, mai ka wai kai a i ka lepo. Eia nō naʻe, ke kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i ka waikawa boric i hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano hemea pepehi kanaka,Ke kuhikuhi nei mākou i ka hui kemika i unuhi ʻia a hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia mai nā waihona waiwai boron kokoke i nā wahi pele a me nā loko maloʻo. ʻOiai ua hoʻohana nui ʻia ka waikawa boric ma ke ʻano he herbicide, loaʻa kona ʻano mineral i nā mea kanu he nui a kokoke i nā hua āpau.
Ma kēia ʻatikala, e ʻimi mākou pehea e hakakā ai ka waikawa boric i nā mea ʻino, pehea e hoʻohana palekana ai, a me nā mea hou aku, i alakaʻi ʻia e ʻelua mau entomologists i hōʻoia ʻia, ʻo Kauka Wyatt West lāua ʻo Kauka Nancy Troiano, a me Bernie Holst III, CEO o Horizon Pest Control ma Midland Park, New Jersey.
ʻAkika Boriche hui i hana ʻia me ka boron elemental. Hoʻohana nui ʻia ia i nā pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, preservatives, a me nā flame retardants. I kekahi manawa ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia he orthoboric acid, hydroboric acid, a i ʻole borate.
Ma ke ʻano he lāʻau pepehi pepeke, hoʻohana nui ʻia ia e pepehi i nā ʻūhini, nā ʻanuʻu, nā iʻa kalapona, nā ʻuku, a me nā ʻuku. Ma ke ʻano he lāʻau pepehi pepeke, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ia e kūʻē i ka ʻōpala, nā fungi, a me kekahi mau nāhelehele.
Ke hoʻopili nā pepeke i ka waikawa boric, pili ia i ko lākou kino. Hoʻopau lākou i ka waikawa boric, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ana iā lākou iho. Hoʻopilikia ka waikawa Boric i kā lākou hana hoʻoheheʻe a hoʻopilikia i kā lākou ʻōnaehana nerve. No ka mea, pono ka waikawa boric i kahi manawa e hōʻiliʻili ai i loko o ke kino o ka pepeke, hiki i kona hopena ke hala i kekahi mau lā a ʻoi aku paha ka lōʻihi e hoʻomaka ai.
Hiki i ka waikawa Boric ke pepehi i kekahi arthropod e ʻai ana iā ia (nā pepeke, nā nananana, nā ʻuku, nā millipedes). Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka waikawa boric paha e hoʻopau wale ʻia e nā arthropods e hoʻomaʻemaʻe iā lākou iho, no laila ʻaʻole paha e kūpono i nā nananana, nā millipedes, a me nā ʻuku. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka waikawa Boric e kahakaha i ka exoskeleton o nā pepeke, e hoʻonāwaliwali ana i ko lākou hiki ke hoʻopaʻa i ka wai. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo West inā ʻo kēia ka pahuhopu, aia nā ʻano hana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.
Loaʻa nā huahana waikawa Boric i nā ʻano like ʻole, me nā pauka, nā gels, a me nā papa. "Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ka waikawa Boric i nā pesticides," wahi a West.
ʻO ka mea mua, e hoʻoholo inā e hoʻohana ʻoe i ka gel, ka pauka, nā papa, a i ʻole nā pahele. Aia kēia i nā ʻano pest, a me ka wahi a me nā kūlana o ke kaiapuni kahi e hoʻopili ai ʻoe i ka pesticide.
He mea nui e heluhelu a hahai pono i nā ʻōlelo kuhikuhi. He mea ʻawahia ka waikawa Boric a hiki ke hoʻopōʻino i nā kānaka a me nā holoholona. "ʻO ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka nui o ka lāʻau lapaʻau ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo he hopena maikaʻi aʻe," wahi a Holster. No nā hopena maikaʻi loa, he mea nui e:
ʻŌlelo ʻo Holster, "E hoʻohana i ka noʻonoʻo pono. Mai hoʻohana i nā huahana ma waho ma mua o ka ua. Eia kekahi, mai pīpī a hoʻohana paha i nā huahana granular kokoke i nā kino wai, no ka mea hiki ke lawe ʻia e nā au, a hiki i ka wai ua ke lawe i nā huahana granular i loko o ka wai."
ʻAe a ʻaʻole. Ke hoʻohana pono ʻia, hiki i ka waikawa boric ke lilo i mea kaohi pest palekana, akā ʻaʻole pono e hanu ʻia a ʻai ʻia paha.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo West, "ʻO ka waikawa Boric kekahi o nā pesticides palekana loa. Pono kākou e hoʻomanaʻo, ʻo ka hopena, he mea ʻawahia nā pesticides āpau, akā he liʻiliʻi ka pilikia ke hoʻohana pono ʻia. E hahai mau i nā kuhikuhi lepili! Mai lawe i nā pilikia pono ʻole."
Nānā: Inā ua hoʻopā aku ʻoe i kēia huahana, e hahai i nā kuhikuhi ma ka lepili a kāhea aku i kahi kikowaena kaohi lāʻau make ma 1-800-222-1222 no ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hou aku.
He ʻoiaʻiʻo kēia ma ke ʻano laulā. "Loaʻa maoli ka waikawa Boric i ka lepo, ka wai, a me nā mea kanu, no laila ma ia ʻano he huahana 'ʻōmaʻomaʻo' ia," wahi a Holster. "Eia nō naʻe, i kekahi mau ʻano hana a me nā dosages, hiki ke hoʻopōʻino i nā mea kanu."
ʻOiai ke omo maoli nei nā mea kanu i nā wahi liʻiliʻi o ka waikawa boric, ʻoiai ka piʻi iki ʻana o ka pae lepo hiki ke lilo i mea ʻawahia iā lākou. No laila, ʻo ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka waikawa boric i nā mea kanu a i ʻole ka lepo hiki ke hoʻopilikia i ke kaulike o ka waikawa boric i loko o ka lepo ma ke ʻano he meaʻai a me ka herbicide.
He mea kūpono ke hoʻomaopopo ʻana ʻaʻole hoʻokuʻu ka waikawa boric i nā kinoea ʻino i ka lewa. Ua manaʻo ʻia he haʻahaʻa loa ka ʻawahia i ka hapa nui o nā manu, nā iʻa, a me nā amphibians.
"He mea ʻē kēia no nā pesticides," wahi a West. "Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole au e hoʻohana wale i nā mea i loaʻa nā derivatives boron. ʻO ka nui o nā pae i ʻae ʻia he mea ʻino ia i ke kaiapuni."
Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi koho ʻē aʻe i nā pesticides, nui nā koho e pili ana i ke kaiapuni. ʻO nā aila pono e like me ka diatomaceous earth, neem, peppermint, thyme, a me ka rosemary, a me ke kopa insecticidal i hana ʻia ma ka home, he mau ala kūlohelohe ia e hakakā ai i nā mea ʻino. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka mālama ʻana i kahi māla olakino e kōkua pū ana i ka kaohi ʻana i nā mea ʻino, ʻoiai ʻo ka ulu ʻana o nā mea kanu e paipai i ka hana ʻana o nā kemika pale pepeke.
ʻO nā ʻano hana palekana ʻē aʻe e pili ana i ke puhi ʻana i ka wahie, ka pīpī ʻana i ka vīnega ma nā ala ʻanuʻu, a i ʻole ka ninini ʻana i ka wai e paila ana ma luna o nā pūnana ʻanuʻu.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo West, "He ʻelua mau mea like ʻole loa ia. ʻAʻole like ka maikaʻi o Borax me ka insecticide e like me ka waikawa boric. Inā ʻoe e kūʻai i kekahi o lākou, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka waikawa boric."
He ʻoiaʻiʻo kēlā, akā no ke aha e hopohopo ai? I ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka waikawa boric ma ka home, pono e hui pū ʻia me kahi mea e huki ai i nā mea ʻino. ʻO ia ke kumu e hui pū ai kekahi poʻe me ke kō pauka a i ʻole nā mea ʻē aʻe.
"Ke paipai aku nei au e kūʻai i kahi lure i hana mua ʻia ma mua o ka hoʻonele ʻana i ka manawa e hana ai iā ʻoe iho," wahi a West. "ʻAʻole au i ʻike i ka nui o ka manawa a me ke kālā āu e mālama ai ma ka hana ʻana i kāu iho."
Eia kekahi, hiki i ke ʻano hana hewa ke kūʻē i ka hopena. "Inā hewa ke ʻano hana, ʻaʻole ia e kūpono i kekahi mau mea ʻino. ʻOiai e hoʻoponopono paha ia i kekahi mau pilikia, ʻaʻole loa ia e hoʻopau loa i nā mea ʻino," wahi a Kauka Nancy Troiano, he entomologist i hōʻoia ʻia e ka papa.
He palekana nā lāʻau pepehi pepeke i hana ʻia me ka waikawa boric mākaukau e hoʻohana, maʻalahi e hoʻohana, a he mau dosage pololei, e hoʻopau ana i nā pilikia o ke kāwili ʻana.
ʻAe, akā i nā nui liʻiliʻi wale nō. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ABC Termite Control ʻoi aku ka palekana o ka waikawa boric ma mua o nā insecticides kemika hana wikiwiki he nui no ka mea ʻaʻole ia e pepehi koke i nā mea ʻino.
