How to get rid of ants in the yard: every housewife has this tool in the kitchen

Ants are quite annoying household pests. These insects multiply rapidly, spoil food and take up more and more space. It seems that it is simply impossible to remove them.

But there is a method to get rid of small pests without using aggressive specialty chemicals. The blogger @im_no_gardener shared his advice on TikTok. After retirement, the man began to devote all his time to gardening and now shares his experience with his subscribers.

According to him, to get rid of ants, you can take advantage of their sensitivity to certain odors, in particular, the smell of cinnamon. The blogger said that even a pinch of this spice makes insects scatter.

It is known that scientific research confirms the blogger's observations. Scientists made various cinnamon extracts and tested them on ants - the insects really preferred to stay away from places treated with such substances. So you can pour a natural cinnamon barrier in the place you want to protect from pests.

Another effective home remedy for ants is white vinegar. When ants enter your home, they leave pheromones to warn each other about the source of food and to plot a route to it. To remove traces of these pheromones, mix one part vinegar with three parts water and wipe the area where the insects are walking with a cloth dipped in this mixture.

Ants are also repelled by odors such as mint and lavender. Mix lavender or peppermint oil with water and spray the mixture on places where the insects come from, such as window sills and door frames. This will keep them from entering your home.
