I am looking for borax powder. I have looked at the older posts and some of them mentioned it was difficult to find. I went to Choitrans and Union in Safa Park, Safestway, Park and Shop with no luck. Went to some pharmacies and they are out too. Has anyone seen it? Thank you!

I found a small glass bottle of 'Glycerine of Borax' in Marina Pharmacy, I used mine to try to make some cool 'slime' fr children. Also tried to use it to make a natural 'ant' removal remedy but that didn't work, need Borax powder for that. Haven't seen Borax powder anywhere sorry. I am searching for Borax too or it's equivalents as I have decided to take up the fight against those darn little ants in my kitchen. I have tried a few different commercial baits but the ants are not the slightest interested in them.

That is a bummer :-(. I will look for it whenever I go back to the US. Seems like they still sell it there.
