What is a good homemade organic pesticide recipe?

What is the pesticide recipe using Borax?

• We have an ant infestation in our apartment. They're coming in through the door in droves! We've purchased Borax because of it's supposed insecticide uses. There are 2 cats, 2 rabbits and sometimes a dog living here so we need the recipe to be animal friendly. Unfortunately we can't find the right recipe for a paste in order to apply the Borax. You don't just mix the stuff with water and go, right? Can someone give me a good site or their own paste recipe for it's use as an insecticide? Also, where are the best places to apply the paste?

• Answer:

  The best way I have found to get rid of ants both inside and out is the following recipe: 2 cups of sugar 1 cup of water 2 tablespoons of borax We put this in old water bottle lids and set them where we see ants and in a day or so never see anymore. It works inside or out.
