Hi,
Put the soap powder and sweetener into a plastic container with lid, puncture small holes so the bugs can get in...
The amount of borax needed to kill pest is minuscule compared to what domestic animals would need to cause damage to them...in other words, the small amount you are going to use will not harm your pets or kids.
Ok, this topic is about done, LOL it's real long, been off topic and not of repairs.
If anyone needs further info please feel free to start another thread.
Thanks Yanita
