解决方案

  1. Use pet-safe ant baits containing spinosad or abamectin; place in tamper-proof bait stations inaccessible to pets.
  2. For acute borax ingestion, induce vomiting if within 1 hour (3% hydrogen peroxide 1 ml/kg PO) and give activated charcoal (1 g/kg PO).
  3. Provide supportive care: IV fluids (Lactated Ringer's at 5-10 ml/kg/hr), anticonvulsants (diazepam 0.5 mg/kg IV for seizures), and monitor kidney function (BUN, creatinine).

无效尝试

常见但无效的做法:

  1. Use borax only in areas pets cannot reach 85% 失败

    Borax dust spreads easily via air currents and pet movement; pets can inhale or ingest it even from hidden areas.

  2. Mix borax with sugar to make bait less toxic 90% 失败

    Sugar attracts pets more strongly, increasing ingestion risk; the mixture remains equally toxic.

  3. Flush borax ingestion with water 95% 失败

    Water does not neutralize borax; it may worsen absorption by spreading the toxin in the gastrointestinal tract.
