So no reason to worry if this formula works for roaches but not sure if it attracts more Rats due to sugar and ghee Boric powder is not toxic to humans and pets but is deadly for cockroaches,In fact boric power is used as antiseptic as well.So no reason to worry if this formula works for roaches but not sure if it attracts more Rats due to sugar and ghee There was a time(3yrs ago) when my 10x10 room had more cockroaches than number of people in china. Then came across this wonder formula and 3 months is all that it took to get rid of them. Since then touchwood, no cockroaches.

What paint will stick to plastic?

Standard exterior gloss paint is a suitable finish for plastic when used in conjunction with an appropriate primer and undercoat. Either acrylic or oil-based gloss can be used, and both are available in a wide range of colours. Typical application methods include brush, roller and spray.

Strong adhesion

The shiny surface of plastic is difficult for standard primers and paints to adhere to. Plastic primers and paints have excellent adhesion properties to help combat this. NOTE: You should wait a minimum of 12 months before painting newly installed UPVC. This allows time for the glossy surface to ‘dull’, making paint adhesion much easier. Flexibility Plastics expand and contract in response to temperature (thermal expansion) so any coating needs to be flexible enough to cope with this constant movement. UV stability External plastic features are exposed to the sun’s UV rays year-round. Plastic coatings need to be UV stable to provide a finish that is resistant to sun bleaching.
