I could have sworn my mom got the 20 Mule Team stuff at Walmart, but when I went to get some myself, they sure don't have any. Maybe it's just my part of the country? Does anyone know of a place (besides online) to get it?

Did you look in the laundry detergent aisle or cleaning supplies? I have found it in the laundry aisle at Walmart. Try a Winco, Stop 'n shop , or Pathmark, or Target. Hope that helps....
I love to wander country roads. |

I have found borax at Meijer & Target too, they have changed the box though. Sometimes it is in a tall stand up box & other times a shorter wider box usually around the bleach and not right with the laundry soaps. Also, I have found it at Rural King if you have on of those.

I have been looking in the laundry aisle (all up and down it actually), but I will check Meijer and Target too. My Target just bumped up to a SuperTarget (or whatever you call them) so maybe I'l get lucky there.
Thanks for the help ladies!

I do get it at Walmart right next to the tubs of OxyClean. But some don't carry it. I also find it in the grocery with the laundry supplies. Usually next to the washing soda.

Your local hardware store probably has it in their laundry/household aisle too. I know mine does.

| Funny how some Walmarts carry it and others don't. Go figure! But I get mine at our little grocery store in the laundry aisle. Target carries it too. |

I just bought Borax at our local Wal Mart. It seemed to have stopped those tiny ants, but hasn't destroyed all of them. Maybe it takes time.

if you can't find it in the laundry soap section of your local WM, try the housewares section.

The Targets here carry it as well as the grocery stores. Ace Hardware also sells Borax. Good luck finding it by you!

In small grocery store(not chains) you can have them order it...or order it yourself online...

| I live in a semi-rural area and most of the grocery stores carry it, as well as the mom-and-pop hardware stores. You might need to do a scouting mission farther away from your home town if nobody carries it there, then buy plenty to tide you over 9no pun intended!) |
