How to Get Rid of Ants in Your Home
Just a drop on the floor, and in just two minutes, they will be gone.
Home Remedies for Ants
Ants are a common nuisance in homes, especially during summer. They always find a tiny hole to escape through to find that crumb that fell on the floor.
It’s not enough to try not to leave food traces; ants always find them. So, here’s a trick to keep ants away.
Simple Floor Washing with Vinegar
When it’s hot, ants tend to leave their nests and invade your home as soon as they smell food.
To eliminate them, wash the floor with vinegar. Ants do not like the smell of vinegar and will not enter your home as soon as they smell it.
Using White Alcohol Vinegar
It’s preferable to use white alcohol vinegar, which has a stronger smell.
Just add about half a glass to a bucket filled with hot water and mop the floor as usual.
However, be cautious as vinegar is corrosive on marble or natural stone floors.
Other Ingredients to Keep Ants Away
Vinegar isn’t the only way to deter ants; there are other scents they dislike. Here are some:
