Ants can be a real annoyance (who wants to see ants crawling around on the kitchen counter?) but these tips should help you get control of the problem without resorting to harmful chemicals.
- Baby powder, dusted on both the ants when you see them, and at their entry point into your house.
- Spray white vinegar mixed with water to get rid of the ants’ scent trails – if they can’t smell their scent trails, they’ll stop coming around.
- Even more ant-fighting power: vinegar and water, with about ten drops of tea tree oil mixed in. This is an excellent cleaner, disinfectant, and deodorizer.
- Place bay leaves or cloves at their point of entry. Ants hate the scent of these, and will avoid them.
- You can also try sprinkling cayenne pepper at their point of entry.
