If you were in Oz I would send you some..try the cleaning section in your supermarket. you may find it may sold for ant control ..
Did you know borax occurs naturally as a precipitate from lakes in California, and potters use it as source of boric oxide and soda in low melt point glazes. Colin

try your local super market ... look in the soap section for '20 mule team borax' ... the last time i bought some i had to ask a stocker at the store for help, - he knew right where it was ... according to my druggest '20 mule team borax' is 100% borax ... a 4# 12 oz. box cost $3.49 ... that's much more than you will probably need, however, it is great for a number of household uses ...

Try your local pottery supply. If not local try online suppliers. Very cheap that way.

Check all of your grocery stores. In our little town, the Kroger's on the north side of town carries it, but the Kroger's on the south side of town does not!

hi!
when you're checking in the laundry area at the grocery, try looking in the "additives" area as well as the "detergents" stuff; at ours it also is not in the most convenient shelves (middle), it's either on the top or on the bottom. good luck,
