An insecticide comprising about 50% to about 90% boric acid, preferably orthoboric acid, and about 1% to about 15% of a sugar preferably, confectionery sugar and about 1% to 15% of cloves, preferably finely ground. The sugar is preferably a powder, about 90% of which will pass through a 200 mesh grid. The insecticide may optionally contain an anticaking agent, corn starch, in the sugar component. The insecticide is used to kill crawling insects such as cockroaches or beetles and is relatively innocuous to humans.
