Borax vs Boric Acid

I did some boric acid once.... I kept seeing twenty mule teams...

Do you know the words to "Mule Skinner Blues"?



Mule skinner...that just sounds nasty and pornographic.

yall -a-coupla-a freaks

uh huh....

All I can tell you about Borax is that the mere mention of it forces me to sing (off key of course)

Oh Fab, I'm glad, there's lemon freshened borax in you.

ok ok, so I guess I just fattened my house guests huh?

Boric acid is formed via the reaction of mineral borax with other chemical compounds (chiefly sulphuric acid, though other acids or acidic minerals in aqueous suspension may be employed, generally with lower yield than the sulphuric acid method). 20 Mule Team Borax essentially is pure mineral borax, a substance which by itself is not noted for insecticidal properties - or, for that matter, for general toxicity except in disproportionately large (in trerms of ratio of chemical to bodymass of target) doses. There is little reason to expect 20 Mule Team Borax, or Boraxo, or any other borax product other than boric acid, would work in the manner you are seeking.

well
****.

now I gotta clean that **** up.

Oh well.

Thanks.

what a retard

im rubber your glue

Yer weccum - always happy to burst a bubble via poke of sharp fact

Boric acid works!
For ants more than for roaches. Sprinkle a mix of sugar and borax near where the ants come im. The ants take the borax back to their hole and it dissolves their exoskeletons and kills their larva. It's effective and sort of green!

I have heard that borax is effective on ants.. but not roaches.

Strange.
To bad it doesnt work on roaches too.
