SOME VALUABLE TIPS TO ELIMINATE THE INVASION OF ANT IN YOUR HOME.

Ants are pesky critters. Once they invade your home, it seems like a monumental task to rid your home of them. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to strike back against the invading army.

First, be sure all crumbs and sticky spots are eliminated from your counters and floors. Keep your sugar, honey, and other food stuff in tightly covered containers. Ants are constantly on the prowl for food, so don’t invite them to dinner!

Second, when you see a line of marching ants, spray them with a mixture of soapy water. Many times this will stop the army in its tracks.Heading them off at the pass is your next step. Cucumbers are an excellent weapon to use for this purpose.

Ants avoid them like the plague. Place the cucumber slices close to where the ants are entering your home. The more bitter the cucumber, the better. Cayenne pepper, lemon juice, citrus oil, and cinnamon are some other choices for your arsenal against these pests.

Placing cotton balls soaked in essential oils such as lemon, orange, clove, peppermint, and mint around your home will help repel not only ants but other pesky insects as well. Crushed, dry mint leaves or cloves will also work. The strong odor repels the bugs

Two or three of your annual summer home visitors have invaded your kitchen. Those ants are definitely looking for sugar. Provide them some pepper rather. Cayenne pepper sprinkled in spots where the ants are mainly searching, inclusive of the backs of your counter-tops or in your baseboards, will tell them that no sugar is available. If you discover the ants’ home colony a little too close to yours and it’s causing them to relocate for your kitchen, cayenne pepper can help eliminate it. Pour the pepper down the ant hole and say see you later to ants.

The only thing this ants are looking for is to feed on your food, but forget that you buy it to consume at your own convenience, sometimes they might target the sweet one which is the sugar or some left over tea cup in the kitchen basin. I have heard a lot of homes in Nigeria make use of different types of chemicals and they still find out those visitors (Ants) would fed on them and still not die. Why not try these methods and get rid of them as soon as possible? Thank me later!
