Borax has been used as an insecticide for over half a century. Read more at wikipedia: The primary use of borax for the eradication of mites is for soaking clothes and household objects. It can take 8 hours for clothes, bed linen, and other objects to be completely cleared of mites. Borax is also added while washing clothes for its toxic properties against mites. Borax is similar to boric acid. The main difference is that borax is not generally a contact killer for mites where boric acid is. Borax makes for good poison that is eaten.

It is also used to make buffer solutions in biochemistry, as a fire retardant, as an anti-fungal compound, in the manufacture of fiberglass, as a flux in metallurgy, neutron-capture shields for radioactive sources, a texturing agent in cooking, and as a precursor for other boron compounds. In artisanal gold mining, the borax method is sometimes used as a substitute for toxic mercury in the gold extraction process. Borax was reportedly used by gold miners in parts of the Philippines in the 1900s. The term borax is used for a number of closely related minerals or chemical compounds that differ in their crystal water content, but usually refers to the decahydrate. Commercially sold borax is partially dehydrated. The word borax is from Arabic būraq (بورق), meaning "white"; which is from Middle Persian bwrk, which might have meant potassium nitrate or another fluxing agent, now known as būrah (بوره). Another name for borax is tincal, from Sanskrit. Borax was first discovered in dry lake beds in Tibet and was imported via the Silk Road to Arabia. Borax first came into common use in the late 19th century when Francis Marion Smith's Pacific Coast Borax Company began to market and popularize a large variety of applications under the 20 Mule Team Borax trademark, named for the method by which borax was originally hauled out of the California and Nevada deserts in large enough quantities to make it cheap and commonly available.
  • Borax was a substance that was considered to be of some importance on 19th century Earth. In fact, a slogan from the era even proclaimed that "Borax is king". A poster advertising 20 mule team package borax and borax soap was on display in San Francisco in 1893. It showed a small child holding up a package of Borax, with the 20 mule team behind it. (TNG: "Time's Arrow" ) The poster was not completely seen, with text cut off at its extreme right. Since a real historical poster was used, it can be found that the incomplete text says "Softens Water – Saves Cleans and Whitens Clothes – Ask dealer for Booklet".
