I saw a very detailed way to get rid of ants using borax. One was using powdered sugar and borax and the other was using maple syrup or honey and borax. It explained that one kills the queen and the other, workers, because one needs solid to live and the other liquid. I can't seem to find that article again. Would you please repost?

I would not use borax in my litter boxes. I found a vet's site and this is what he has to say. It also relates to dogs. (he is talking about spread Borax on your floor to kill fleas which apparently it doesn't) 'Because it is toxic to dogs and cats, we recommend that if you do this you should keep your pet away from the Borax (especially as pets may walk through it then groom their paws and ingest this toxin). Leave the Borax down for an hour or so then vacuum it up (then you can allow your pet back into that area). Inhalation of Borax powder can also be irritating to your pet's lungs. Use it with care if you choose to use it at all. Also note that this Borax treatment does not prevent fleas from living on your pet and in the uncarpeted areas of your home.
