    Boric acid from the pharmacy (usually in the eye wash department or
    you ask them to order it for you) is only about $7-* dollars for a
    12oz? bottle/jar of fine crystals. It is not reagent grade (that IS
    expensive) but it is just boric acid. Use alcohol (Paint department
    at any hardware store) and mix in enough to have some paste in the
    bottom of the container and liquid on the surface (if you area going
    to use just the liquid part). We use the finer paste and dip or paint
    it on the piece before heating and it works great. 

    Use the Everclear for internal parasite removal or cherries or
    bananas flambe', much better use for that EXPENSIVE product. As far
    as the roaches, it does depend on what type of "roach" one is
    referring to as to whether the "Roach Proof" will have any effect on
    them/it. I don't know about the effects of mixing a shot of Everclear
    with a "Roach" but that could get interesting I suppose. Personally,
    I never inhaled!!
