Ants, whether they’re indoors or outside the house, can be quite a nuisance. They’re always scurrying around, causing disturbances and creating an unhygienic environment for your family and pets. Ants are among the most common insects to invade homes at some point. They love the environment of our homes and they typically come in with food supplies or other goods that we bring home. A simple and cost-effective method to get rid of ants is to use products that contain borax. This is a very inexpensive, natural solution that can be used safely around and on humans, pets, and plants.
Nontoxic Way To Get Rid Of Ants
Introduction
Ants are known to be a real pest. They destroy your garden plants. They can also make their way into your kitchen and other rooms, attracted by the food available in your home. The worst thing about ants is that they give you absolutely no privacy. You cannot sit quietly because you will see an ant on your foot or coming towards you along with the furniture. To get rid of ants naturally, mix equal parts of water and vinegar in a spray bottle and spray it where ants typically enter the house. Use white vinegar and not apple cider vinegar; the former is toxic to ants whereas the latter is not. Another method of ridding yourself of ants is by using a mixture of borax and maple syrup or honey. If you want more natural remedies to get rid of ants, here’s what you can try out too: Lemons are another antidote to ants if mixed with liquid peppermint essential oil – add some drops to a small bowl filled with lemon juice and place it in the corners or any place which you think may attract these tiny insects. Another way to keep away ants is by making a combination of garlic and chili powder – sprinkle this powder in areas wherever you have previously seen these pests lurking around looking for food sources

The worst thing about ants is that they give you absolutely no privacy. You cannot sit quietly because you will see an ant on your foot or coming towards you along with the furniture. That’s why it’s important to get rid of them as soon as possible, and here are some ways to do so without using any toxic chemicals.

Spray along the baseboards or floorboards, wherever you see ant trails leading up to your doors or windows. If you have pets that can easily reach this area, be sure to keep them away while spraying—the last thing you need is a dog that’s accidentally licked a canister of toxic liquid! You may also want to avoid spraying directly on any ant colonies if possible so as not to harm their queen and her workers; instead focus on blocking off their food supply (your kitchen) by cleaning up any crumbs or spills throughout your home before they become an issue.
Another method of ridding yourself of ants is by using a mixture of borax and maple syrup or honey.
You can make a solution using borax and maple syrup or honey. Mix equal parts of the two ingredients and spray it wherever ants are a problem. The ants will eat this mixture, bring pieces of it back to their colony, and distribute it to other ants that consume it as well. This will kill them all in a matter of days.
This is a safe and effective method for ridding yourself of ants without having to use harmful chemicals in your home or yard!

- Boric Acid: Mix sugar and boric acid in equal proportions and place it near the entrance of your home where the ants are coming in. The mixture will attract them and kill them when they eat it.
- Maple Syrup/Honey: Place some maple syrup or honey near the ant hole with a few drops of vinegar. This will stop their food supply and they’ll eventually starve to death. The vinegar prevents other insects from getting attracted to this sweet treat as well!
- Lemon Juice: Fill up a spray bottle with water and add lemon juice into it until the liquid turns yellowish greenish color. Spray this mixture around areas where there are lots of ants crawling around; they’ll all be gone before you know it! Be careful not to use too much though because too much acidity will damage wood furniture or even start eating away at metal surfaces like nails etcetera if left on long enough so make sure that there isn’t any surface nearby which may come into contact with these chemicals over prolonged periods of time (like say how long does it take for an ant colony inside wall cracks for example) – otherwise just make sure that whatever material gets sprayed doesn’t have direct exposure from sunlight within 24 hours after application because this could cause discoloration/fading due low levels ultraviolet rays exposure being absorbed through plastic containers which would then transfer onto whatever surface needs treated (like my friend’s counter top came out looking brownish red after using “liquid bleach” without first checking its effects beforehand).
Lemons are another antidote to ants if mixed with liquid peppermint essential oil. Add some drops to a small bowl filled with lemon juice and place it in the corners or any place which you think may attract these tiny insects.
Mix 1 part of lemon juice and 2 parts of liquid peppermint essential oil to create a potent ant-repelling mixture. Add some drops to a small bowl filled with lemon juice, then place it in the corners or any place that you think may attract these tiny insects. You can also use this mixture on your countertops as well, but be careful not to put the bowl directly on top of your counters or tables where pets or kids could knock it over. Replace every month if needed or more frequently if the ants are particularly active in certain areas. This remedy works especially well in kitchens where food is prepared because lemons are often used as garnishes for dishes and on some cooking surfaces like counters.
Another way to keep away ants is by making a combination of garlic and chili powder. Sprinkle this powder in areas wherever you have previously seen these pests lurking around looking for food sources.

Garlic and chili powder are natural deterrents which can be toxic to ants. They should be mixed in equal amounts, then sprinkled into areas where you suspect ant activity is taking place.
