How do you make boric acid paste?

Go outside or open a window so that you're in a well-ventilated area. Although boric acid isn't harmful to humans, it does irritate the breathing passages of some individuals (especially those with asthma or chronic bronchitis), so it's a good idea to be in an open, non-enclosed space. Pour 1 cup of boric acid powder into the disposable bowl. Use the disposable fork to break up any clumps. Decide which mix-in you want to use for your boric acid paste. Rats prefer savory items, so chicken broth should be used. Roaches like oily foods, so peanut butter should be used for roach infestations. Sweet mix-ins like molasses or honey should be used for homes with ant infestations. Add the mix-in of your choice (as determined in Step 3), an 1/8 cup at a time. Mix well with the disposable fork after each addition of the mix-in to the boric acid powder. Mix until a thick paste is formed. Adjust your recipe as needed. The boric acid paste should be slightly thicker than cookie dough. If your paste is too thin, add more boric acid powder. If, on the other hand, the paste is too thick and is difficult to mix properly, add in some more broth, honey or peanut butter. Continue mixing and adding either boric acid powder or mix-in until you reach the desired thick cookie-dough consistency.

How do you keep ants away from a carved pumpkin?

This is not always possible and depends highly on where you put the pumpkin. What you can try are ant traps or a boric acid mix. For the latter, mix boric acid, water, and sugar until you get a thick paste (the sugar is to lure the ants). Smear this over some cotton balls and place them around where the ant hills are. (Boric acid dries ants out from the inside. They take it back to their queen ant and this destroys the colony.)
