The box used to be green with a team of horses on the front.

And if the big box has too much in it for jewelery making you can always
sprinkle the left overs under the kitchen sink to keep out the bugs. It is
pretty non-toxic to humans, but works well.

Actually, borax is EXTREMELY poisonous to pets and small children. I
learned this from the exterminator that was next door spraying for ants.

Thanks for the correction, I used it a lot when my children were small
rather than spraying because it wasn't airborn and I could control and see
where the residue was. I did always make sure I had latches on my kitchen
cabinets or other places I used it, when my kids were in that eat everything
stage. I definately was not clear that I meant non-toxic in a not easy to
inhale or be absorbed through the skin toxic. And then it is only relative
to all the pesticides out there. Now I am wondering if I was mis-informed
on that topic also.

Sorry for getting the jewlery board off topic, I will behave myself better
in the future. I just started lurking and it seems like a very interesting,
informative group.
