The commercial "ant killing liquid" is actually just borax dissolved in water (saturated solution, ie, a little bit doesn't dissolve at the bottom of the bottle), with honey or sugar added.....and usually a blue colorant. Get a little squeeze bottle (buy it, ONCE, to get the bottle with the tiny hole so you can squirt a fine stream into cracks and crevices) and make your own - you don't need the blue :-).
Boric acid gets rid of roaches, the "non-toxic roach killer" you buy in the store is just boric acid with some filler added. Sprinkle a teaspoon of it around where roaches may be, keeping it out of animal and child tasting zone (ie, behind fridge, back of cupboards, under sinks...). > > You walk into the kitchen and a parade of ants is having a field day on your > countertop.
