Baking Soda And Cinnamon For Ants
How Does Baking Soda And Cinnamon Kill Ants?
Now that you know how to make a mixture of cinnamon and baking soda, it’s time to get down to the business of eliminating ants.
First, make sure that you have all the items needed to apply the paste on hand. Then follow these steps:
- Pour 1/4 cup of baking soda into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of water. Stir until smooth.
- Add 2-3 teaspoons of cinnamon powder or ground cinnamon sticks (1 teaspoon will be used for each application). Mix thoroughly until there are no lumps left in the mixture. If using whole unground cinnamon sticks, crush them with a pestle or mortar before adding them into your bowl with baking soda and water so they can dissolve better when mixed together later on.* Now apply this paste directly onto ant nests that are visible outside your home using an old paintbrush or similar tool.* When applying inside your home, mix equal parts water and white vinegar together in order to create an effective yet safe solution for killing ants as well as preventing future infestations from forming after one has been eliminated by means such as these ones discussed here today
How To Use Baking Soda And Cinnamon For Killing Ants?
Mix 1 cup of baking soda with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. You can do this by hand, but a mixer will be easier. Put the mixture in a bowl near the ants, so that they have to go through it to get inside your home. Ants are attracted to the scent of cinnamon and baking soda, which means they will eat this mixture. The baking soda and cinnamon mixture is poisonous to ants and other insects, so when they eat it they will die quickly! When enough ants have died due to eating your poison bait mix, their colony will die with them because there won’t be enough workers left alive for food production or defense from predators like spiders or people trying destroy them using other methods besides baiting (like spraying).
Where Do We Apply The Mixture?
The first step is to identify the areas where ants are likely to enter your home. In other words, look for cracks or crevices in the floor, walls and windowsills. You can also find them along baseboards and cabinets.
Now that you know where they’re coming from, you need to apply a mixture of baking soda and cinnamon powder in these areas. The next step is to make sure that every entry point has been covered with this mixture by going over every inch of it with a toothbrush or rag dipped in water mixed with baking soda and cinnamon powder (1 part baking soda : 1 part cinnamon). This will ensure that there are no gaps through which ants can crawl into your home!
Other Ways To Get Rid Of Ants With Cinnamon
In addition to sprinkling cinnamon powder around ant infested areas, you can also make a cinnamon oil spray to kill ants.
- Mix 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 3 tablespoons of water, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon oil in a spray bottle. Shake well before each use to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
- Spray the mixture on any surfaces you suspect are hosting ants (kitchen counters, window sills, etc.). You want to make sure it gets into every nook and cranny where an ant may be hiding so that it gets its full dose!
Prevention Tips
- Keep food in sealed containers.
- Don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink.
- Don’t leave food out overnight or on counters.
- Don’t leave pet food out overnight or on counters.
- Don’t place trash cans near doors or windows.
- Don’t leave trash cans open, especially during warmer months when ants are more active and feeding is more common for most species of ants that might enter your home (for example, fruit flies).
There are many effective methods to get rid of ants.
- Make sure to use a sealant to fill in any cracks and crevices where the ants may be coming into your home. This is an important step, as it prevents them from getting in and out of your house to begin with.
- Use a spray bottle, or something similar, to apply the mixture on any areas where you have seen ants congregating. You can also carefully pour it down holes that are too small for them to crawl through (and if the ant gets trapped inside by accident, don’t worry—it won’t die). Just make sure not to get any on food!
- Don’t forget about ventilation: leave doors open so that moisture can escape and air circulates freely throughout your kitchen. If there’s no way around it—for instance if you live somewhere humid like Florida—then consider using fans instead as they’ll help keep moisture from building up during cooking processes such as baking cakes/cookies/etcetera which might otherwise result in mold growths being formed by excess condensation because humidity levels aren’t high enough yet due
