I believe Borax, Boraxo soap,Boric acid and Borate (termite treatment) are one in the same, Borate being the prime mineral. I use a Boraxo soap and water mix for bug spray around the house perimeter, works well. My measuring system is a handful of Boraxo soap into an old "foot" section of a pair of nylons, tie into a knot and drop into a small pump sprayer filled with water. This will keep the unabsorbed granules from clogging the sprayer. Shake the mix up thoroughly and spray away. Spray the foundation posts good, as it also deters termites. I usually try to spray just after the heavy winter rains, and then again just before winter if needed. Windex and WD40 work well in an emergency, as both eliminate the "scent trail" the scouts leave to the food source.
