You can buy the food grade by the bag full at the Finca Marta table at the Tuesday Market. Just sprinkle a line around your house/garden/patio and the ants are gone in an hour or so. We checked with Finca Marta at the Tuesday Market today and were told they do not have boric acid for sale to others. They purchase this product for their own use only. Suggested we could find small amounts at a local farmacia. Looks like we will try for a bulk Internet purchase unless someone can identify a good source here in our area.

Moderators - Pet Care Pet Moderator Posted February 14, 2018 Moderators - Pet Care Share Posted February 14, 2018 Over a year ago we bought food grade diatomaceous earth from Finca Marta. Did the job very well around our house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Based on a resource recommendation by Brandy Gregory, we visited a store in David last Friday to see if they had bulk boric acid powder (polvo de ácido bórico in Spanish). The name of the store is Productos Quimicos Ibis SA. And yes, they did have it. The staff was very helpful. All conversation was in Spanish. Thanks mucho, Brandy. We were able to avoid an Internet purchase based on your information. Here is the location of that store on Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/8fuzs41aPpT2 Here are some pictures taken during our short visit to the store. In the first picture you can see their telephone number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoSailors Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 They also sell distilled water by the gallon, but expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panawanna Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 We have an ID on that snake. A Tropical Neo Racer, non venomous garden type snake that eats lots of mice and typically hangs out around human habitats. For very rapid snake ID, send a picture of the your visiting snake to teamsnakepanama@gmail.com They were very happy to ID the snake for us and are part of the research team cataloging the resident snakes in Panama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
