Natural Remedy For Ants In Home

DEAR JOYCE: Do you have any information about a natural remedy for getting rid of ants in my home? — W.S.

Dear W.S.,

There are a number of natural home remedies that can help get rid of ants in your home. The first step is to identify where the ants are coming from, and then you can use natural ingredients to get rid of them. For example, if you have an ant problem in your kitchen and bathroom, you could use cinnamon oil as an effective method for getting rid of newly hatched fire ants. This technique works best when combined with another one such as cayenne pepper or lemon juice, depending on what type of ant it is that needs disposing of (if you’re not sure what type it is yet).

DEAR W.S.: Here are a few suggestions from the National Pesticide Information Center.

Dear W.S.:

Here are a few suggestions from the National Pesticide Information Center. The center is a cooperative project of Oregon State University and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, providing objective, science-based information about pesticides to help people use pesticides safely and wisely.

The center has an extensive website with information on pests, disease control and integrated pest management; as well as fact sheets on how to identify pest problems; how to use pesticides safely and effectively; how to protect children from pesticide exposures; and more (www.npic.orst.edu). It also has a phone line (1-800-858-7378) that provides pesticide safety advice for both people who work with pesticides in professional settings and for homeowners who need it for their lawns or gardens at home .

Natural remedies can be used to get rid of ants in the home

Ants are a common problem for homeowners because they tend to invade homes during the warmer months. To get rid of ants in your home, you can use natural remedies such as vinegar, dishwashing detergent and cinnamon or cayenne pepper. Vinegar is very effective at killing insects, including ants. Using it will require patience and diligence on your part since you’ll need to keep spraying the solution every few days until all traces of their nest are gone. This method also works well for outdoor infestations when you spray directly on an ant or its tracks with the solution.

For indoor applications, spray vinegar around entry points for an entire day before reapplying again in 48 hours if necessary (usually once per week). Sprinkle cinnamon around entry points; this should be repeated after four weeks if necessary, but it also may take longer than that depending on how long ago they made their initial invasion into your home
