If you’re a homeowner, you’ve probably experienced the dreaded ant problem. They are everywhere, and they just don’t seem to go away, no matter what you do. Although many homeowners resort to using toxic chemicals as a way to get rid of ants, this is not a particularly safe method for getting rid of the pests. There are natural remedies that can help you get rid of ants fret and all the other insects invading your home. Ants are annoying creatures. We don’t like their ugly look and their strange behavior. They pose a danger of disturbing people’s health and causing a lot of damage to houses and furniture. In this article, we share some effective methods which will help you to get rid of ants.
Natural Remedy Ants
Sprinkle a trail of salt and the ants will carry it back to their nest. The salt kills the ants that eat it, and when they die, other ants take their bodies back to the nest, infecting most of the colony by the time they get there.
If you have an ant infestation and don’t want to use harmful pesticides, try sprinkling a trail of salt and following it back to their nest. The salt kills the ants that eat it, and when they die, other ants take their bodies back to the nest, infecting most of the colony by the time they get there.
You can use any kind of salt for this treatment—sea salt is ideal because it contains no iodine or other additives. You just need enough for them to carry some home with them!
I’m going to sprinkle Borax on the line of ants. This stuff is deadly for insects but harmless to people.
To keep ants at bay, sprinkle a line of borax near their trails. Borax is a naturally occurring mineral that can be used as an insecticide. It is poisonous to humans but only in large amounts, so it’s safe to use around ant nests and trails if you use it sparingly.
Borax works by causing the insects’ bodies to break down and release water, which dehydrates them. You can mix borax with sugar or salt for added effectiveness. Just don’t let your pets or children get their paws on this stuff—they might get sick if they eat too much!
Mix together 1 tsp dish soap with 1 cup water and put in spray bottle. The ants will be killed by this home remedy, as the soap-water solution concludes them suffocate.
Mix together 1 tsp dish soap with 1 cup water and put in spray bottle. The ants will be killed by this home remedy, as the soap-water solution concludes them suffocate.
The mixture should be applied to the ant nest using a spray bottle to ensure that all of the ants are hit and killed by it. Coat your plants with a thin layer of it as well to prevent any further infestations from occurring over time.
Do not pour it around your house because it may cause damage to certain materials like carpets or tiles (or you could just get rid of those anyway). Use caution when applying so that no fumes are released into the air—this can cause respiratory issues for people who have allergies!
Take some essential oils and mix with water in a spray bottle. Spray it around your window seals, doorways and other areas where you see ant activity. Ants hate peppermint—so much that they’ll avoid areas that have been sprayed with peppermint oil.
The smell of peppermint is a powerful deterrent for ants, and you can use it to keep ants away from your home.
- Spray some water into a spray bottle and add 5-10 drops of peppermint oil to the water.
- Spray the solution around the entry points of your home (i.e., windows, doorways, etc.) where you see ant activity occurring most often.
- This solution is safe for pets as well as children (and adults), so don’t worry about using this in areas that are accessible by people or pets!
These methods will keep your house ant-free without using chemicals or toxins!
If you want to avoid the use of chemicals and toxins, these methods will help keep your house ant-free. Borax, essential oils and dish soap are all natural remedies that can be used as part of an ant control plan. Sprinkling Borax around problem areas will kill ants that come into contact with it, but be sure not to use too much or place it where pets or children might get into it! If there are many ants in your home, spraying some peppermint oil on a cotton ball and placing them in the areas where the ants were seen can help suffocate them. If you notice that any areas have been sprayed with peppermint oil, avoid going near those areas for about 24 hours so as not to become overwhelmed by its strong smell!
