Intice Thiquid is a liquid formulation of Borax that can be used as a 1% or 2.5% solution. It is designed to control ants, including very large multi-queen and multi-colony infestations. The product can be applied indoors by placing it on small pieces of cardboard, paper, or foil, or in bait stations, and outdoors by using bait stations every 5 to 10 feet along the foundation or by spot spraying the diluted solution onto the building foundation until it reaches the point of run-off.
