NiBor-D Insecticide is commonly used on commercial kitchen floors but not residential floors as it has a green tint. Per the NiBor-D product label, “Mop Solution: This is to be used as a supplemental treatment in conjunction with other pest management practices and may be reapplied as necessary. Apply only to floors by mopping. Allow the mop solution to penetrate into cracks and crevices in the tile or flooring and into crevice areas under equipment to affect possible hidden food sources and harborage areas that may contain small fly larva, including fruit fly and drain fly species and other insect pests. Remove or brush any powder visible after application into cracks and crevices. Avoid introducing the material into the air or onto any exposed surfaces other than the floor area. Avoid contaminating food or food processing surfaces. Do not apply when foods are exposed.” You will add 2.5 cups per gallon of water and it is good until are removed or covered with other debris.
