- Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2023So i bought this after reading how borax mixed with sugar is good ant control. I live in an arid, hot region where ants coming into the kitchen after water is a common nuisance. I keep the kitchen clean, have tried the store bought ant traps, and many other things, but none were as effective as the borax tip! Dry mix 2 parts sugar with one part borax and put it in a place where ants congregate (but out of reach of any pets or children!). The ants come for the sugar but they take the borax with them, and carry it back to the colony. It really worked!
Then since I had it I also added some to my laundry and definitely it made a difference. I don't like to use bleach, but that meant my laundry was always a bit dingier than I wished. Adding borax did the trick, the laundry is cleaner and brighter now.
A really useful item and I will buy it again.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2023I live in Texas. I had an infestation of Florida Carpenter Ants (red head, black body) for over a month. This was one of the key ingredients in my quest to exterminate them. I've written some advice below for anyone else who is suffering from a carpenter ant infestation.
Most effective baits I used to get rid of my infestation:
TERRO T300B Liquid Ant Killer, 12 Bait Stations (make sure you have scissors to open these, the tabs suck)
DIY - Mix Powdered Sugar with Baking Soda, put it in a baggie or a lid
DIY - Mix Borax (1.5 tablespoons), Warm Water (1.5 cups), and either sugar (0.5 cup) or some peanut butter. Mix well, and then soak a cotton ball into the mixture.
^for this one, I used peanut butter, since I had already set up the baking soda/sugar trap.
For all of these traps, you are going to want to place them somewhere near the entrance of where the ants are coming from, out of reach from pets and children. After a few hours, you should start seeing more of them show up. This is because they are hastily working to bring the "food" that they found an abundance of back to their nest. Don't mess with the traps or squish the ants once they start doing this, they are delivering poison to the nest. You can continue killing the ones that are not collecting the bait (e.g. ones that are just wandering around your house--they are either lost or scouting, no reason to keep them alive). Just make sure you throw the dead ants away, so that they don't attract more ants over with their pheromones.
If there are locations the ants are falling from, I'd recommend mixing water with dish soap in a (preferably) rectangular bowl with skinny edges, and then placing that under the drop point. This mixture will paralyze the ants and drown them as soon as they touch it. You NEED to use soap--carpenter ants are very good swimmers if the water is not tainted (Dish soap is toxic if ingested, so do not let pets or children near this mixture either).
Ants change their mind on what they want to eat every so often, so I'd recommend using all 3 of the baits I listed if you want to get rid of them as fast as possible. If they are not taking any of the 3 baits, there are 2 possibilities: 1) It might be a bad time of the day for them--ants are generally most active at night, and early in the morning; or 2) They are in their mating cycle and have no interest in eating anything. The only advice I can give you for this is, just leave the traps where you had them and wait for them to finish the cycle. If you see winged ants, SQUISH THEM. They are breeders, and they do not collect food.
One last piece of advice: Carpenter ants make satellite nests. Their main nest is most likely not in your house--there is a good chance that it is in rotting wood (trees/logs), or in the dirt somewhere near your home's perimeter. Because of this, I'd also recommend looking for an insecticide spray that you can apply to the perimeter. I used "Spectracide Terminate Termite & Carpenter Ant Killer", and while it does work, I would suggest looking for a different one. Its spray pump is VERY annoying to use, and it is electronic, so there is no getting around its tediousness. Just make sure you read up on the insecticide's proper usage before applying it (most of the companies will have a website for this).
I hope you found my advice helpful. It took me over a month to get rid of my infestation, since I initially had no clue what I was doing, and was just blindly ordering baits. I felt hopeless, and eventually I called 3 different exterminators... they all tried to get me to do a 1-year "maintenance" contract with no alternatives (over $700!). I spent about $95 trying to get rid of these things by myself. Over half of that money went towards useless bait that they did not care for. If you follow my advice, you will probably be spending under $50.
Good luck!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2025Received item on time. Have not used this item yet but ordered it to mix with sugar for ant bait.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025Mixed with honey and it killed the ants in my kitchen.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2024This works great for cleaning the grit out of rock's that I have tumbled.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2024As described, finely milled borax powder. Well packaged, shipped quickly.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2017I used this product for making slime and it worked fine but when you put it in water you have to make sure the water is very hot, and that there is 2 cups water to 1 teaspoon borax, as it is organic. I tried it with a tbsp, and it activated way to fast and it became hard and it ripped apart. I tried it again and it just didn't activate at all. Once you get the right measurments down, it works fine, and it almost makes the slime clickyer and smoother since it is organic.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2024Good product, zero smell, easy to use packaging, right size and arrived with no damage or leakage, good value for price, versatile usage
