He kohuke whānui te waikawa boric e kitea ana i roto i ngā momo taiao, mai i te wai moana ki te oneone. Heoi, ina kōrero tātou mō te waikawa boric e whakamahia ana heipatu pepeke,Kei te kōrero mātou mō te matū i tangohia mai i ngā putunga momona-boron e tata ana ki ngā rohe puia me ngā roto maroke. Ahakoa e whakamahia whānuitia ana te waikawa boric hei patu taru, kei roto i te maha o ngā tipu me te nuinga o ngā hua tōna āhua kohuke.
I roto i tēnei tuhinga, ka tūhuratia e mātou te pakanga a te waikawa boric ki ngā pepeke, me pēhea te whakamahi haumaru, me ētahi atu mea anō hoki, e arahina ana e ngā tohunga pepeke whaimana e rua, a Tākuta Wyatt West rāua ko Tākuta Nancy Troiano, me Bernie Holst III, te Tumu Whakarae o Horizon Pest Control i Midland Park, New Jersey.
Waikawa porikahe matū kei roto ko te boron huānga. He mea whakamahi nui i roto i ngā patu pepeke, ngā patu taru, ngā patu harore, ngā mea tiaki, me ngā mea ārai mura. I ētahi wā ka kiia hoki ko te waikawa orthoboric, te waikawa hydroboric, te borate rānei.
Hei patu pepeke, ko te nuinga o te wā ka whakamahia hei patu i ngā pepeke kōkō, ngā pōpokorua, ngā ika hiriwa, ngā moko, me ngā puruhi. Hei patu patu pepeke, he tino whai hua ki te pokepokea ai, ki te harore, me ētahi taru kino.
Ina pā atu ngā pepeke ki te waikawa boric, ka piri ki ō rātou tinana. Ka horomia e rātou te waikawa boric, ka horoi i a rātou anō. Ka whakararu te waikawa boric i tā rātou mahi nakunaku, ā, ka pā ki tā rātou pūnaha io. Nā te mea he roa te wā e hiahiatia ana hei kohikohi i te waikawa boric i roto i te tinana o te pepeke, ka roa pea ngā rā, ka roa ake rānei te tīmatanga o ōna pānga.
Ka taea e te waikawa boric te patu i ngā angaanga katoa e horomia ana e ia (ngā pepeke, ngā pūngāwerewere, ngā kutu, ngā kare-ā-roto). Heoi, ko te waikawa boric pea ka kainga e ngā angaanga e whakapaipai ana i a rātou anō, nō reira kāore pea e whai hua ki ngā pūngāwerewere, ngā kare-ā-roto, me ngā kutu. Ka taea hoki te whakamahi i te waikawa boric hei waru i te angaanga o waho o ngā pepeke, ka ngoikore ai tō rātou kaha ki te pupuri wai. I kī a West mēnā koinei te whāinga, he maha atu ngā tikanga whai hua.
He maha ngā āhua o ngā hua waikawa boric, tae atu ki ngā paura, ngā kirikiri, me ngā papa. "Ko te waikawa boric te tikanga e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā patu pepeke," te tāpiri a West.
Tuatahi, whakatauhia mēnā ka whakamahia e koe he tiēre, he paura, he papa, he mahanga rānei. Ka whakawhirinaki tēnei ki te momo pepeke, tae atu ki te wāhi me ngā āhuatanga taiao e whakamahia ai e koe te patupatu.
He mea nui kia pānuihia, kia whaia hoki ngā tohutohu. He paitini te waikawa boric, ā, ka pā kino ki te tangata me ngā mōkai. "Kāore te whakanui ake i te horopeta e tohu ana i ngā hua pai ake," te kī a Holster. Mō ngā hua tino pai, he mea nui kia:
I mea atu a Holster, "Whakamahia te whakaaro noa. Kaua e whakamahia ngā hua ki waho i mua i te ua. Kaua hoki e rehu, e whakamahi rānei i ngā hua kirikiri tata ki ngā wai, nā te mea ka taea e ngā ia te kawe atu, ā, ka taea e te wai ua te kawe i ngā hua kirikiri ki roto i te wai."
Āe, kāo. Mēnā ka whakamahia tika, ka taea e te waikawa boric te noho hei rongoā haumaru mō te whakahaere i ngā pepeke, engari kaua rawa e hongihia, e horomia rānei.
I mea atu a West, "Ko te waikawa boric tētahi o ngā patu pepeke haumaru rawa atu. Me mahara tātou, i te mutunga, he paitini ngā patu pepeke katoa, engari he iti noa te mōrearea ina whakamahia tika. Me whai tonu i ngā tohutohu i runga i te tapanga! Kaua e tūpono ki ngā mōrearea koretake."
Kia mōhio: Mena kua pā atu koe ki tēnei hua, whai i ngā tohutohu kei runga i te tapanga ka waea atu ki te pokapū whakahaere paitini i te 1-800-222-1222 mō ētahi atu tohutohu.
He pono tēnei i te nuinga o te wā. "Kei roto i te oneone, i te wai, me ngā tipu te waikawa boric, nō reira he hua 'kakariki' tēnei," te kī a Holster. "Heoi, i roto i ētahi tauira me ngā horopeta, ka kino pea ki ngā tipu."
Ahakoa he iti noa te waikawa boric e mimitihia ana e ngā tipu, ahakoa he iti noa te pikinga o ngā taumata oneone ka pā kino ki a rātou. Nō reira, mā te tāpiri i te waikawa boric ki ngā tipu, ki te oneone rānei, ka whakararuraru i te taurite o te waikawa boric i roto i te oneone hei matūkai me te patu taru.
He mea tika kia mōhiotia kāore te waikawa boric e tuku hau kino ki te āhuarangi. E kiia ana he tino iti te paitini ki te nuinga o ngā manu, ngā ika, me ngā kararehe mohoao.
"He mea rerekē tēnei mō ngā patu pepeke," te kī a West. "Heoi, e kore ahau e whakamahi noa i ngā matū kei roto ngā matū boron. Ko te nui rawa o ngā taumata e whakaaetia ana he kino ki te taiao."
Mena kei te rapu koe i tētahi atu huarahi hei whakakapi i ngā patu pepeke, he maha ngā kōwhiringa e pai ana mō te taiao. Ko ngā hinu kakara pērā i te whenua diatomaceous, te neem, te peppermint, te thyme, me te rosemary, me te hopi patu pepeke i hangaia i te kāinga, he huarahi taiao katoa hei patu i ngā pepeke. Hei tāpiri, ko te pupuri i tētahi māra hauora ka āwhina hoki i te whakahaere i ngā pepeke, nā te mea ka akiaki te tipu o ngā tipu i te whakaputanga o ngā matū ārai pepeke.
Ko ētahi atu tikanga haumaru mō te pehi i ngā pepeke ko te tahu rakau, te rehu winika i ngā ara o ngā pōpokorua, te ringihia rānei te wai kohua ki runga i ngā kōhanga pōpokorua.
I mea atu a West, "He tino rerekē ngā matū e rua. Kāore te Borax i te tino whai hua hei patu pepeke pērā i te waikawa boric. Ki te hoko koe i tētahi o aua mea, ko te waikawa boric te kōwhiringa pai ake."
He pono tēnā, engari he aha ai te whakararuraru? Ina whakamahia te waikawa boric i te kāinga, me whakaranu ki tētahi mea e kukume ana i ngā pepeke. Koia te take e whakaranua ai e ētahi ki te huka paura, ki ētahi atu kai rānei.
"E taunaki ana ahau kia hoko i tētahi mōunu kua oti te hanga, kaua e moumou taima ki te hanga i tētahi māu ake," te kī a West. "Kāore au i te mōhio e hia te wā me te moni ka penapenahia e koe mā te hanga i tāu ake."
Heoi anō, ka raru pea te hua o te whakamahi i te tauira hē. "Ki te hē te tauira, e kore e whai hua ki ētahi pepeke. Ahakoa e taea ai te whakaoti i ētahi raruraru, e kore rawa e taea te whakakore katoa i ngā pepeke," te kī a Tākuta Nancy Troiano, he tohunga pepeke whaimana.
He haumaru, he ngāwari ki te whakamahi, ā, he tika ngā horopeta o ngā patu pepeke kei roto te waikawa boric kua rite ki te whakamahi, ā, kāore he raruraru ki te whakaranu.
Āe, engari he iti noa iho. E kī ana a ABC Termite Control he haumaru ake te waikawa boric i te nuinga o ngā patu pepeke matū tere te mahi nā te mea kāore e patu wawe i ngā pepeke.
