"Borax, Under $5

You can kill wasps cheap with Borax. Borax is made of boric acid
and has been used as a safe household cleaner for over 50 years.
A box of Borax costs about $5 USD, as of 2009. You may already have
some in the house. Mix equal parts Borax and honey or corn syrup.
Spoon the mixture into some old lids. Strategically place them close
to the wasps nest. Wasps are lured in by the sweet taste of sugar,
but are poisoned by the Borax."


Eh?

"Borax is made of boric acid"?

That's wrong... makes me doubt what follows.
