How do you start an ant farm?

First of all, buy or build an ant farm. The next step is definitely get a hold on ants. You can order them, but the fastest way would be catching them yourself. Put some sugar and water in a jar and wait for ants to arrive. Very important is to catch a queen. Most colonies won't last more than a couple of months without one.

Does Borax kill ants?

Kind of, it mostly keeps them from coming/coming back.

Edit: Borax is the active ingredient in a number of commercial ant killing products, including Terro Liquid Ant Baits. It interferes with their metabolism, but kills relatively slowly, so that the bait is transported back to the colony and distributed to other ants. I don't know what concentration of household borax would be required to kill pests, but the stuff IS used commercially for this purpose.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some places on the internet say to mix 20 Mule Team borax with sugar. I always found it was sufficient just to sprinkle some in their trails without mixing it with anything. It takes about a week. I had ants in the kitchen this spring. I found what I assume WAS the nest, but I have no more ants. Is all I did is sprinkle some borax along the kitchen baseboards. This doesn't work with carpenter ants in my experience.
