Borax is the trade name of a salt of boric acid. I've been using a mixture of Borax and honey to keep the ants at bay for a few years. Use the search engine of your choice to search for Borax and ants. You'll find a plethora of recipes. HTH [1] http://www.terro.com/blog/using-borax-around-children-and-pets
