Insects in general do not like anything with boron in it. Borax has as one of its ingredients the element of boron. Seems like I've seen videos showing how to kill off wasps with a mixture of boron mixtures. Lately I've got an idea of using borax detergent to clean my clothes, and then using the waste water therein to spread around the perimenter of the joint. Over time, it will concentrate and form a natural barrier against ants, wasps, roaches and other of these nasty critters. In short, anything with boron in it will kill off insects. Probably not too good for people or pets either, so use common sense.

More ways to get rid of the ants in your pants. Actually, the borax mixture with honey seems to work. Ants are really attracted to the honey.

It should be no surprise, but it is. Mix up some hot water, borax, and put something sweet in the mixture. The sweetness to the mixture attracts the ants, and they consume the poison. It is slow acting, but it will kill them in a few days.
It reminds me of how well that stuff works with roaches. However, the methods differ somewhat. Roaches will die by crawling on it, but ants will consume it. Will roaches consume the borax mixture?
Warning! Do not let kids, pets, or other creatures to consume the stuff. Not good. Other than that, it is better and cheaper than bug spray.
