That's so helpful Sam and Calili. Thanks. Also, it was borax (alternative laundry detergent) and not boric acid, wasn't it?

They sell it at the pharmacy at Al Barsha mall and someone else mentioned they purchased it from the pharmacy at Meadows Village.

Nearly couple of months, I've been looking for borax powder; could you please tell me which Choitram / spinneys you found this? I searched more than 3-4 outlets, but could not find it, even in pharmacies....

Rite,borax powder has to b mixed with water till the solution is saturated and some hidrogen peroxide at 3%volume,the dog has to b bathed in it,not rinsed or dried,its a very effective way cos mange parasites live under their skin,the hidrogen peroxide opens the pores and borax kills the ba......s things.Borax its nt toxic for dogs,BORIC ACID is on the other side, very toxic for pets they are 2 different things.Vet keeps injecting ivermectin but not real results,apparently the problem is the sand!I will definitly try Choithrams,thank you so much!!

Don't understand the wierd looks ... borax, boric acid powder is a great way to get rid of ants, too.

hi Sibilla, I know this will sound really odd, but I have bought borax powder here before, and I was only able to get it at pharmacies. They will give you an odd look and probably ask you why you need it (out of curiosty). It has been a while though since I have bought this, and you may have to try more than one pharmacy. Hope this helps.
