Suitable for Ant Bait Preparation
When mixed with icing sugar, Wally’s Borax can be used as part of a DIY ant bait mixture designed to attract ants for control purposes.
The sweet mixture encourages ants to carry the bait back to the colony for broader distribution.
Always place bait securely away from children and pets.
Timber Borer Treatment Applications
Wally’s Borax is also commonly used in timber treatment solutions for borer-prone wood.
When dissolved in hot water, the solution can be applied to untreated timber surfaces or injected directly into borer flight holes.
Recommended Timber Treatment Method
- Heat water to approximately 60–70°C (not boiling)
- Mix approximately 150g of borax per litre of water
- Stir until fully dissolved
- Allow solution to cool slightly before spraying
- Apply generously to untreated timber or directly into borer holes
Borax works best on bare, untreated timber where the solution can soak into the wood fibres.
Why This Product Is Different
Unlike single-purpose products, Wally’s Borax can be used across a wide range of household, garden, and workshop applications.
It’s especially useful for:
- Regular ant bait preparation
- Timber treatment jobs
- Ongoing cleaning use
- Workshop and property maintenance
The powder dissolves effectively in hot water, making it suitable for preparing timber treatment solutions with better wood penetration.
What to Expect
Results will vary depending on the application and conditions.
For timber treatment:
- Untreated timber absorbs the solution more effectively
- Painted or sealed timber may require injection directly into holes
- Multiple applications may be needed for severe infestations
For ant bait applications:
- Ant activity may increase initially as bait is collected
- Ongoing baiting may be required for larger colonies
How It Works
Borax works differently depending on the application.
- In ant bait mixtures, it is combined with sweet ingredients to attract ants for colony transfer
- In timber treatment, dissolved borax penetrates untreated wood fibres and borer galleries
- As a cleaner, it helps lift dirt and improve washing performance
Using hot water improves borax solubility and helps create a more even timber treatment solution.
