Sort of correct. Insects breathe through spiracles (not follicles). <a href="http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/20/whats-the-best-way-to-kill-cockroaches" target="_blank">http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/20/whats-the-best-way-to-kill-cockroaches</a> says that borax abrades the waxy coating on roach exoskeleton, so the roaches dehydrate. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boric_Acid#Insecticidal" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boric_Acid#Insecticidal</a> says borax interferes with insect metabolism as well.<span><br>
