Uses

Boric acid is an effective pesticide for ants, cockroaches, rats, and flies.

It is usually used in dilute solutions as a treatment for diaper rash, insect bites and stings, and sunburns.

It can help stabilize the pH level of water and prevent problems with   algae. This product reduces the amount of chlorine needed in the pool. 

It is used industrially for the manufacture of fiberglass, household glass products, and glass used in liquid crystal display (LCD). To produce glass with better chemical and high-temperature resistance, boric acid is applied to glass products.
