Boron's a mineral, isn't it?

Yes but needed in small quantities.

I'm planning to get a crapload of borax and sugar, as the ant thing
is huge
on my place, and every struggling tree I see has a parade of ants on
it. I'm
a-gonna git them!

Am a bit concerned about animals though, especially the dogs. Do
they eat
it? Do they get poisoned?

Humans can be poisoned by Borax so I assume that dogs (being mammals)
could be too.

Why don't you just find the ant nests (look under rocks etc) and put
the mix in the holes or under the rocks where the nests are likely to
be or set up stations under heavy rocks that the dogs can't get to.
