Borax

[greygoose]

This sounds too good to be true! But I'm going to have to try it.

If you find a source to buy borax from I'd be interested. I'm certain the EU has banned it. I tried to buy it some time ago but I can't remember why I wanted it. I got nowhere.

[greygoose in reply to humanbean]

Well, I did Google it when I read that, and found several sources, but haven't tried them yet. I'll let you know how I get on.

[humanbean in reply to greygoose]

Be careful that you aren't buying something that is actually "Borax substitute" - that was the stuff I kept finding wherever I looked :

amazon.co.uk/Borax-500g-sub...

[greygoose in reply to humanbean]

OK, I'll look carefully. Thank you.

You first, goosie. When the letter carrier jumps you some early morning, let me know, eh? LOL! I think I'll pass on this rejuvenation possibility.

[greygoose in reply to gabkad]

Oh, I definately might try it. I'll keep you posted. But Don't hold your breath.

Oh, and if I do try it, it might be me jumping the letter carrier! hehehe

[gabkad in reply to greygoose]

Heeheeheehee! OG! Set up the CCTV okay? Heehee! I'm about to fall out of my hammock. Oh dear god...... Goosie darling, I can't stop laughing. The visuals. The visuals! Those fluffy slippers of yours. The flying fluffy bathrobe. Oh!!!

Goosie, you are a dangerous woman!

Last time I listened it was hsssssssssssssssss.

Hmmm. I use Borax to kill ants in the porch and in the washing machine. I get it from Amazon (don't forget that this gives money to TUK). The seller I used last is Intralabs - Borax Powder (Decahydrate). I'm not sure I'd want to eat it - makes you throw up.

Angel_of_the_North, is Borax an effective ant killer? How did you use it as an ant bait pls?

[Angel_of_the_North in reply to Ga_Ling]

Nothing is a really effective ant killer. I think ants will take over the world! But it is fairly effective and less toxic to pets than other pesticides. Mix with a bit of icing sugar and sprinkle - just like ordinary ant killer

Thanks

Available on Ebay UK too.

But I have to admit I chickened out of taking it - you need such a small amount! And its another complication to have a bottle of diluted borax and take a teaspoonful. I just buy the tablets from H&B. In comparison to some of the other stuff its dirt cheap. The its just another (tiny) tablet in the handful of tabs in my pill sorter.

Its sad, isn't it, but I find that just the rigmarole of all the supplements is really more than my brain can cope with. I can take a handful of pills(that I sort out once a week), but the addition of a tsp of CLO, and 1.5 tsp of wholefood vitamin C is often skimped on.

[greygoose in reply to Ruthi]

I take the tablets, too. lol

[Ruthi]

Goosey, be careful. In excess its poisonous.

[greygoose in reply to Ruthi]

Like so many things. I take 3 mg Boron Chelate most days - not every day because routine becomes sooooo boring - because it's another of the things that work with vit D3 and magnesium.

[Ruthi]

Hmmm, yes. But be wary of synthetic D3 - its another cause of copper dysregulation. CLO is better (but I forget it because its yet another thing to do!)

[greygoose in reply to Ruthi]

I think I've got enough copper at the moment because l don't feel so well when l take it. It feels like l lose all the benifits of taking zinc when l take copper.
