If so, how does the termite nest get affected? also will it work with cockroaches ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use Boric or Borax.... both work ... mix the same with sugar but do not water down too much! . Some pharmacies carry Borax Here is a link to one supplier: http://healthfoodthailand.com/en/home-garden/279-borax-powder-commercial-grade-1000-grams.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijb Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Borax is toxic to pets. PS: There is lots of debate about this. But, why take a chance? Edited January 4, 2017 by rijb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had very good results with Borax, mixed with brown sugar in a saturated solution. C.) It's not a permanent solution but I've only had to do it once this year - pretty good for the tropics. D.) It's available from http://healthfoodthailand.com/en/search?controller=search&orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=borax&submit_search= Very expensive for borax from this store . ...try here as someone posted a few days ago I think https://www.chemipan.com/i/en/a1/index.php/635-product/674-general-chemicals/675-general-chemicals/1160/1160-borax-chemical.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Just to add... here is more info: https://www.reference.com/science/borax-same-boric-acid-319fa5e46d85e4d5# Anyone using the suggested mixer (Borax sugar water) should place the solution into a covered container with small holes punched in so ants can get in and out...also would protect from rain/ water... Ant's take back to the nest and kill the colony. It seems to work for several months until new colony moves in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeInSurin Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Forget everything mentioned above. I have tried them all with minimal results. The only thing that works is Bayer Quantum. Works every time. Available at Tops market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
