It’s that time of year again when every household will have, at some point, an issue with a sudden ant infestation. Ants can be very difficult to get rid of sometimes.
Some turn to harsh chemicals to get rid of this very persistent pest while others will turn to all natural repellents as a solution.
I recommend that you should always try to find a natural way to control any pest within the home. It’s safer for you, your family, and your pets.
1. Vinegar
Mix it with water in equal amounts into a spray bottle. This is a highly effective method of getting rid of ants.
By spraying vinegar on the ant’s entry paths, you are spreading a very strong scent ants hate, making them avoid it. Make sure you cover all the corners and areas, including your countertops, sink, and windows.
Allow the vinegar to dry completely.
2. Table Salt
This is the best and cheapest way to get rid of ants. Boil water and add salt to it.
Pour salt water into a spray bottle and spread in places where you usually see the house ants.
3. Pepper
Pepper is as effective as salt. Both cayenne and black pepper work wonders.
Mix pepper with water, spray it on areas where the ants travel in your home and soon they all will disappear.
4. Lemon
Lemon is the most effective fruit in the case of an ant invasion. Mix some lemon juice with water and spray it around all of the areas of your home where ants are traveling.
This is one of the most optimal remedies that help to get rid of ants.
We mix powdered sugar and baking soda in equal quantities and fill milk bottle caps and place them in strategic locations around the house. The ants can’t tell the difference between powdered sugar and baking soda and carry them both back to their nests and feed it to their young, the baking soda kills the ants and quickly destroys the entire nest. We have also used it to stop ants from destroying some outdoor flowering plants such as Trumpet Vines and and Peonies.
