Where to buy Borax?

[rollinghugo]

I am looking for Borax, which can be used as a laundry detergent, cleaning product and insecticide etc...It is similar to Baking soda. Abroad it can be found in the detergent, cleaning products aisle in supermarkets but here I have yet to find it. Anyone know how to get some in the Pattaya/Bangkok area. Thank you.

Hello,

I was searching internet for borax in Thailand because I am going to use this remedy for my dog skin problem. ( demodic mange siberian husky ). We spent a lot of money on well known medications from vets but non really solved the problem nor did it really reduced it. So for last option I am going to use Borax + Hydrogen Peroxide solution.

I noticed that you were trying to use same remedy. Were you able to use it? Did you get any good or bad results? Can you share your experience with me?

Thank you for your time.

If you need to fix a mange problem and can't get Ivomec, I would use an old time remedy called used motor oil. Dip that dog in used motor oil and wash it into the skin. Gonna do lots of scrubbing on a Huskie. Let sit a day and 1/2 at least. Keep the dog warm so he doesn't get cold. Then scrub out the oil with dish soap or washing powder and let dry. That ought to do it. But once again, my preferred method is to use Ivomec injectable. Don't use pour on as the carrier for the med could be methanol which could kill the critter. Although, you could use it in the dog's soap wash.

I used Ivomec and also an Apple cider vinegar(mix with water)scrub/wash. You might also want to give the dog an organic diet and vitamins, to boost immunity. The problem eventually cleared up but did take a while(3-6 weeks). If you have access to the sea, letting the dog swim and then wash him down with fresh water...helped a lot!
I do not recommend motor oil, you can poison your dog in this manner. Look it up on internet....very dangerous!

Another extremely effective remedy is a mixture of vegetable oil and sulphur, mixed to a paste and applied to the affected area. Usually rids the dog of mycotic mange within a week.

Ive found that revolution has been good for killing mange on my cats along with all the usual stuff. though its nerve gas based rather than borax

I have just bought a kilo of the stuff in CM for making an ant killer (see the ant thread)

They sell it in chemical shops, by the 25kg, but there was a nearby shop that split it up and sold by the kilo

I have mixed with jam and hope to get rid of the millions of tiny red ants plagueing us this year

Hi All, This is my first post on this forum. I've just come across this whilst searching for where to buy Borax in CM. A Boric acid supplier would also be useful. Can Anyone point me in tthe right direction to find these in CM. I'm going to need it in fairly large quantities in order to use it in a new Bamboo curing facility we are developing. Cheers for any pointers. DEHC

As an addition I have found that Northern Chemicals in Chiang Mai offer Borax at 870Bt /25kg and Boric Acid at 1500Bt /25kg

HI DEHC,
I saw your post on treating bamboo with borax. Interested to learn more.

How is it going?

Ask in your local wet market, it's used as an illegal preservative on meat. Other than that you can only get it from a chemical supply store, it's not available in normal shops. Try this place, https://www.chemipan.com

thanks for the link Bob

Borax or boric acid is good for Bamboo treating as well, to remove the BokBok as they call it in the Phils...
Drill the bamboo poles, pour it in, block the 2 exit, leave it some time and Bamboo shall be safe.

Thanks. Been looking every where for the stuff

[Vettronics]

I haven't found it yet either. If anyone knows please post it. Thanks.

Borax can be bought at World Chemical in CM, on the road from SuperHighway 11 -intersection to San Kampen - connecting to the airport, right hand side.

I used this supplier to get borax powder. A bit more expensive maybe but buying online was painless and received the stuff within days. Cleared out the ant problem.
