How To Get Rid Of Ants
I’ve noticed a lot of people have ant problems in their house. Here are some solutions you can try:
- Equal parts Borax, Sugar, and Yeast – Leave where the ants hang out. Sugar attracts the ants, Yeast explodes in their tummies, and the Borax poisons them.
- Seal up cracks and crevices where the ants could be entering
- Scrub around entry points with a detergent (to remove the trail pheromone) and then spray a residual insecticide
- Mix white vinegar and water (50/50 mix) and spray on water resistant areas and allow to dry
- Sprinkle cinnamon or squirt hot sauce where you see the ants come out from
- Use anything citrus based or a citrus oil which ants hate
