They’ll consume the boric acid at the same time, which will kill them. The compounds are important for reducing chemical reactions in the body that produce free radicals, which are themselves believed to raise the risk of cancer. You need to remove everything that could possibly be feeding them and keeping them around your property.

My first mistake was bragging to my boyfriend about how brave I was. “I’m not scared! Insects will be delicious,” I told him. I counted on him being grossed out and calling off the experiment.

Even if we’d juggled the balls around and fed each other in blindfolds, the crunch of the exoskeleton would have been unmistakable. But as for the taste? Ground meat really is ground meat, no matter what the provenance. The turkey-worm balls tasted like almost-normal turkey, with just a slight crunch. Delicious. The 100% wormballs had the texture of ordinary meat, but the flavor of the spices we mixed in. Slightly earthier, drier, and nuttier. And (can I say this in a way that isn’t damning with faint praise?) completely inoffensive. NatWest t20 Blast, South Group: Gloucestershire v Sussex at Bristol, May 20, 2016". ESPN Cricinfo .
