How to use the powder? Simply put it on some paper? Is that enough? Besides, what is the straw for?

I literally have no roaches after a month of borax. Straw helps prevent a mess, it is used as portion control and its basically a funnel. I was absolutely amazed. You can put it on paper, but I just puffed(using the straw) the areas where I mostly see roaches.

I threw that away. The only use I could see for it would be if you were going somewhere and you didn't want the liquid to get in the nipple. I suppose you could put powder formula in the cup and use the plate with the screw lid and then remove it when you add the water. Again, we threw that piece away. Hope this helps.

That is a very interesting use for this. It is small black pebble-like pieces that would not fly off like powder, but it does get powdery and it does make a mess. I agree with the other reviewers about using the baking powder.

Using plastic wrap is not part of the original instructions. I tried it but it was hard to get off because it stuck to the reline material. You do, however, need to add the liquid before adding the powder, then wait 1 minute before spreading. This seems to work better for me. Good luck.

I honestly don't think it will matter. It's a strong rubbery substance. It will definitely work better than a regular straw.

have not used any powder products, it might work with powder but I don't think so. try it and let me know how it works.

Depends on how thick you want it and what you are combining with. Hot beverages need a bit more than cold. Start with a tablespoon of powder (or one packet) per about 6 oz. and then add more as needed until you get the consistency you want.

It should break apart easily with a spoon is what I used. If it won't something is not right. Yes it should be powderlike.

I Have setting powder, but seldom use it. It looks okay to me without it, but you maybe should try it first and see for yourself.

Is this a trick question? Life straw is just a compact filter which is slow and designed for personal use. Designed for when the water is of questionable quality, but common sense should also be used. If your dining out or in a hotel in a foreign country, try bottled water that is sealed. Even buying bottle water from the local store will not upset your hosts. There are poisons and chemicals that can get pass the filter if that is your concern. It is designed for quick use, not a supply source. So if your so concerned about your water, how are you going to brush your teeth, make coffee/tea and so on? You might consider a different type of filter! Is this a trick question? Life straw is just a compact filter which is slow and designed for personal use.

It's POWDER, it makes a huge mess and it isn't worth buying! Just go buy a regular cartridge and save yourself the aggravation of this USELESS product!

I purchased and received the straw but I have not attempted to use it. I suppose I shoud before I need it and find it does not work, but for now I ccannot help you.

Swallow whole. Whatever you do don't try to take the powder in something because it is horribly nasty tasting

I haven't tried that - just mix it into wet food. I'm not sure that the powder would disolve... Curious if you made this work

It's a really fine powder. Nix on tea ball. It will probably clog filter quickly.

Powder. Just a little in water and mix it up. I don't add as much as the label says anymore because less seems to work in most cases.

I have used both the powered and liquid versions. I first bought the powder. I simply dissolved it in some warm water so that I could use it in the dispenser of my front loading machine. I now have the liquid, which is easier. I do add some warm water with it, because you are to use only 1/8 cup and I want to make sure it all goes into the wash!
