Yes, you can kill insects and other arthropods with borax. I think it gets between the joints of the critters and causes internal damage. Cool eh?

They're still around. I have a business card from someone who works for them. In red across the top of the card is.... you guessed it: a 20-mule team pulling a coach.

I think it's pretty much been replaced with modern age stuff like Soft Scrub.
