Ants in the garden or at home: 4 natural remedies to keep them away

published on 2 July, 2018 at 16:33
Ants can become a real nightmare. Here are four effective and natural methods to keep them away from the garden and from your home.
 
1. Coffee grounds
2. Cinnamon
3. Water and lemon
4. Citrus peels
 
For every remedy you just put the elements in the areas most affected by the presence of the ants.
 
To keep away the ants there are other tips. Let's know them:
- Soda Cans
Before you toss your soda cans into the recycling bin, give them a quick rinse to remove any remaining sugary soda that ants will feast on.
The same goes for other food containers that will be in or near your house until trash day.
- Picnic Table Moat
The next time you’re sitting at a picnic table enjoying lunch, build a line of defense to prevent ants from joining you.
Simply place four disposable pie tins or some other container under each leg of the table, then fill with water.
- Borax-Sugar Trap
Mix Borax and sugar with enough water to create a syrupy paste that ants will love to eat and share with their friends.
- Cayenne Pepper
You can also sprinkle a little cayenne pepper around the entrances to your home or directly onto the anthill.
- Vinegar
In order to destroy an ant’s home, you first have to find it. Vinegar won’t kill ants, but it will throw off their sense of smell.
