Natural Remedies For Ants

Ants, who can live in amazing environments and adapt to difficult situations.One thing that annoys all of us ant lover is ants in the house. Whether it’s a small or a large colony that has decided to invade your home, you need natural ways to get rid of ants. The thing is, you don’t have to leave your house and visit an expensive store just to try some chemical-made chemicals that will keep these pesky insects away. How? There are plenty of natural ways to do that. Here are the best ones:

Natural Remedies For Ants

1. Vinegar and Water

  • Mix 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water in a spray bottle. It should be about the same consistency as water.
  • Spray the solution on ant hills that are outside your house, or use it to kill ants when they’re already inside the house. Spray along ant trails and wherever else you see them traveling.
  • If you don’t want to deal with spraying down entire rooms or your entire home, this method will only take care of small immediate problems instead of preventing them from coming back later on.

2. Peppermint Oil

If you have a serious ant problem, it’s best to use peppermint oil in combination with other natural remedies. Peppermint is naturally repellent to ants and they will avoid areas where they smell the oil.

To use peppermint oil as an ant repellent:

  • Mix equal parts water and peppermint oil. Be sure the latter is 100% natural (and not just “natural”).
  • Spray onto areas of your home that are prone to ants, such as window sills and doorways. Soap also works well in this case—just mix half soap and half water in a spray bottle before applying it on your window sills or other areas that get infested by ants often. When using soap for this purpose, make sure it’s biodegradable so that it doesn’t harm your houseplants or kill any small animals who might accidentally ingest some of it while trying to clean themselves off after eating some honey from a jar of peanut butter!

3. Sprinkle Some Cayenne Pepper

Another natural remedy you can use to repel ants is cayenne pepper. Ants hate the taste of cayenne pepper, and will stay far away from it if they get a chance. So if there are ants in your home, sprinkle some ground cayenne pepper around where they are coming in or near their nests. The best places to sprinkle it are along baseboards and on window sills or door frames where ants like to walk or crawl up onto walls and floors! You also want to make sure that you don’t get any in your eyes or mouth—because it hurts!

If you have a lot of ant activity going on outside your house (like in the lawn), sprinkle some cayenne pepper around the perimeter as well—this will keep them from coming into contact with anything edible inside the house! Just make sure not to use too much at once because this can actually kill off other beneficial insects like bees and butterflies too…and nobody wants that happening!

4. Citrus Spray

  • Pour one cup of citrus juice into a spray bottle and fill the rest with water.
  • Add white vinegar to make it more potent, if desired.
  • Shake well before using, then spray directly onto ant trails and nests (you’ll know they’re there when you see little piles of debris).
  • Allow the solution to sit for at least an hour—the longer it sits, the better it works! The citrus oil kills any ants that come across it while also repelling more ants from entering your home in search of food or water sources. When all signs of ants are gone (and no new ones appear), vacuum up any remaining dead bodies and dispose outside away from pets or children

5. Borax

Borax is the crystalline salt of boric acid, a naturally occurring mineral. Borax can be found in many places around us, such as household products like laundry detergent and disinfectants. It’s also used to make glass, ceramics and enamelware. While it’s toxic to insects—but not humans or pets—borax is a good choice for killing ants because it’s cheap and easy to find at most grocery stores or supermarkets.

There are a few simple things you can do to get rid of ants naturally.

You should always be careful when using natural remedies. It’s important to know if you have allergies or whether there are children or pets in the house who might accidentally ingest your concoction.

Even if you don’t have any of these issues, it’s still a good idea to do some research and make sure that everything is safe before trying any sort of home remedy. You may want to try mixing and matching different solutions until you find one that works well for your specific situation.

It’s also important to make sure that the ants are coming from an indoor source (and not an outdoor one). If they’re outside, then the most effective method will be eliminating the nest itself; otherwise it can just lead back here again!
