They still make borax. I have a box on my washer right now.
It's called 20 Mule Team Borax. I bought mine at my local grocery store. Wal-Mart stocks it too.
Another thing you might try is mixing one part baking soda with two parts sugar. Pour this in a little wall around the hole(s) where the ants come in. They cannot walk through powdery stuff owing to the construction of their legs. This also works well on roaches. I cleared a house of them in Florida within one week. It really works!
This is also not harmful to humans or pets who may inadvertantly eat it.
