Triglycylboride
PURE Bioscience also markets a patent-pending pesticide technology, Triglycylboride™ which, like SDC, provides effective results without human toxicity and is an alternative to traditional poisons. Triglycylboride has been formulated into EPA registered RoachX® and AntX™, the key products in the Innovex® line of pest control products.
Why is TCB unique?
Boric acid is a well-known and effective deterrent of cockroaches and will kill them on contact, but cockroaches do not naturally eat the repellent. Although many pesticide products contain boric acid as the listed active ingredient, RoachX and AntX are unique because of the endothermic reaction caused by the combination of boric acid and polyglycol that produces three unique results: 1) The formula protects the boric acid from water and humidity, 2) When combined with an attractant, the insect perceive the formulation as food and will actually eat the polyglycol-encapsulated boric acid, and 3) The formula acts as a time-released pesticide, allowing the insect to return to the nest before it dies and then becomes a "bait station" for other insects in the colony.
