Luckily, there are some ways to deal with ants without harming them. So I am going to show you how to deal with these tiny creepy creatures just by using natural home remedy ingredients.

How To Kill Ants Naturally Outside

Create a homemade ant repellant using cinnamon.

  • Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to a spray bottle.
  • Pour in 3 cups of water and shake the bottle around to mix the ingredients together.
  • Spray it around the exterior of your home, especially near doors and windows where ants are likely to enter, as well as in any areas where you see them congregating outside.
  • If there are ant nests on the ground underneath decks or fences, spray them directly with this mixture before sweeping up the dead bodies for disposal (or leave them there if you’re okay with having ants’ remains on your property).

Use diatomaceous earth to kill your ants.

Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring rock that’s made of fossilized remains of diatoms. As such, it has sharp edges that can cut through the exoskeleton of insects and kill them. It’s used in filters and insecticides because it kills bugs but is non-toxic to humans.

Diatomaceous earth is a safe way to kill ants outside your house without using harsh chemicals or poisons that may harm you in the long run. If you want to get rid of ants without using harmful chemicals, use diatomaceous earth instead!

Make a homemade ant trap using boric acid.

You can make a homemade ant trap using boric acid. Boric acid is a natural insecticide that you can buy at most hardware stores, pharmacies and pet stores. It’s safe to use around children, pets and beneficial insects including bees so it is an excellent choice for more environmentally friendly pest control.

Boric acid comes in powder form and has a pungent odor similar to vinegar or ammonia when it is finely ground up. You should always wear safety goggles when working with boric acid because it can cause eye irritation if you get some powder in your eyes!

Pour boiling water into the nest to kill any ants inside.

Pour boiling water into the nest to kill any ants inside. This may be your best option if you want to kill ants while they’re in their nests, or if you want to use heat to destroy their eggs.

To do this, first pour a pot of boiling water over the ant colony. Then leave it there for a few minutes so that all of the ants are killed by the steam (and not by drowning). If you have time before going back outside with your pot, place some wood blocks under the pot so that when it’s lifted up, there is no mess on your patio or decking.

If you don’t have time before running off again after pouring out the hot water, consider using a bucket or bowl instead—it will still work just as well but won’t leave an unsightly puddle behind when removed!

Use vinegar, lemon juice, and water as a spray repellent.

Mix one part vinegar to four parts water. Add a few drops of lemon juice or essential oil to make it smell better, if desired. Spray the mixture on ants and their surroundings as needed. Repeat this process until the ants are gone.

Encourage all-natural insect predators to make their home around your lawn.

In the same way that certain plants have an effect on humans, they can also affect insects. Certain plants attract beneficial insects and repel harmful ones.

You may want to plant some of these types of plants:

  • Plants that attract butterflies
  • Plants that attract birds
  • Plants that attract bats
  • Plants that attract bees
  • Plants that attract wasps

Put food away in airtight containers or in the refrigerator.

Keep food in airtight containers or in the refrigerator.

Ants are very attracted to food, so make sure that what you have is secure and inaccessible for them. If you have leftovers from last night’s dinner or a loaf of bread sitting on your countertop, chances are good that some little critters will be interested in it too. The same goes for any trash or compost bins: make sure they’re tightly sealed!

Also, keep any food that’s out at room temperature away from the floor—ants love crawling along surfaces like this looking for anything edible, so try to keep things up off their level as much as possible.

Clean up crumbs and spills immediately in your kitchen.

One of the most common sources of ants in your kitchen is crumbs and spills. Ants love sugar, so don’t leave any food out overnight! If you have a spill, clean it right away. Keep counters and floors clean by wiping them down with vinegar or rubbing alcohol as often as possible.

In order to keep ants out of your kitchen in the first place, make sure that all food is stored in sealed containers or put away after use. Don’t leave dishes or dirty cups sitting around on the countertop—that’s just asking for trouble!

You can use household products to get rid of ants naturally outside your home.

You can use household products to get rid of ants naturally outside your home.

  • Cinnamon – Ants will not cross the line of cinnamon powder on the floor, so you can sprinkle it around your kitchen and near their entry points. You should be aware though that cinnamon is toxic for dogs and cats, so keep it away from them!
  • Diatomaceous Earth – Diatomaceous earth is one of the most effective natural pesticides for ants as well as other insects such as fleas, ticks and spiders! You can find this in farm stores or online at Amazon and other online retailers (linked below). That said, there are a few precautions when using DE: wear gloves while applying it; wash hands after application; do not breathe in dust particles while applying DE (wear a mask if necessary); avoid contact with eyes/skin/mouth/nose; only use food grade diatomaceous earth outside if possible because it could be harmful if ingested by humans or pets
