Troubled by ants in your garden or even in your home? These tricks work!

With these natural and cheap tips, ants in your home are a thing of the past!

In the summer we of course love to sit outside. But in addition to a lot of fun, summer always means a wave of pests and that always makes us a little less happy. Ants in particular can throw quite a spanner in the works.

Ants in your kitchen

You’ll just see: You walk into your kitchen in the morning and the first thing you see is a procession of ants or other pests swarming through your house. Although they are only small bugs, it is still very unsanitary and they are everywhere in no time. You can choose to use all kinds of pesticides, but all those chemicals in your kitchen don’t make you very happy either. Especially if you also have pets sniffing around everywhere. Fortunately, this is not necessary at all!

Trash

There are a lot of natural remedies that will help you fight ants. And hey, chances are they’re already in your kitchen cabinet. Before we get started, it’s wise that you look at your trash can first. This is often where they smell first. It helps to regularly put some baking soda in the trash. By the way, don’t forget to take these out. If you want to have a solution that you can “forget” after one time, then it is best to use a cotton ball. Dip a cotton ball in a etheric oil and then deposit it at the bottom of the trash can before putting in a trash bag.

Are the ants already running around the house? If so, we have some great tips on the next page!

Cinnamon

Ants have an excellent sense of smell and greatly dislike the smell of cinnamon. Add half a teaspoon of cinnamon oil to a cup of water. Drench a cotton ball in it and use it to smear areas where ants live. Repeat this procedure until the ants are gone. Place whole cinnamon sticks outside, especially near the door, on windowsills and other entrances. You can also put the cinnamon oil in a spray bottle and attack the ants wherever you find them.

Vinegar

They also hate vinegar. This is good news because this way we have an inexpensive repellent. Fill a spray can with equal parts water and vinegar. Add a little fragrance oil, such as lemon, this is another scent that ants cannot tolerate. Shake well before use and then spray well on all possible entry points. Do this once a day until the ants are completely gone.

Borax

Borax is a natural mineral used in most pesticides. Borax is sold in powder form or as a colorless crystal salt. You buy it in some supermarkets and otherwise at the drugstore or pharmacist. All you need is a cup of warm water, half a cup of sugar, two tablespoons of Borax and balls of cotton wool. Mix all the ingredients together and dip the cotton balls into the Borax mixture. Then you can place the balls wherever you want, such as along the edges of doors where ants often walk in.
