Borax is a name for several different but similar chemical compounds, of which probably the commonest is sodium decahydrate or sodium borate. They all contain sodium and boron. Borax is toxic enough to kill ants, fleas and cockroaches and other unwanted insect life. Its effects upon the environment are not yet well documented but it can be toxic to aquatic life if too concentrated. It is regarded by the Australian government as a low threat to the environment but a moderate threat to health.
