: Also, is Boric Acid relatively safe? For instance, if I was shaking out generous quantities of boric acid around my low-ventilated apartment, would I be placing myself in danger? I just wanna get rid of these SOB's for once and for all. They've taken over my life for the last year+, and I'm really hoping this boric acid stuff helps. Although, an exterminator recently told me boric acid is useful against cockroaches and other pests, but not so much against bed bugs. Anyone have any good/bad experiences with boric acid in the fight against bed bugs? Thanks.

You don't want to breath in boric acid, no, its not been proven that it is at all useful in the fight against bedbugs. Your exterminator is correct, can you get a hold of some drione dust? That will help.
