Our house is an ideal place to maintain the survival of ants, which is why they usually nest in our house with the intention of staying forever.

If ants invade your home, you are probably looking for a way to get rid of them, because their company at home is usually quite annoying: they attack our food, make nests in inappropriate places and can be a big problem even causing electrical failures, for example.

There are products on the market that can eliminate ants in a radical way, but if we don’t want to kill these little insects, there are a number of home remedies to make them leave our house.

Vinegar and water

Vinegar is a widely used resource to improve the taste of food, clean the oven and even to eliminate lice,

Like lice, ants hate vinegar . To use it effectively you must make a mixture by adding the same amount of water as vinegar and then you have to  dip several sponges in that mixture. Place the sponges on small plates and distribute them throughout the house, especially through the passageways of the ants. In a short time you will see how the number of ants is reduced until it disappears.

Cinnamon

Whether in powder or in oil, cinnamon also serves to move ants away from a certain area. You can sprinkle it wherever they pass; but yes: it is required that you do it constantly, or it will not work.

Talcum powder

Talcum powder acts as ants repellent. Although surely it will not seem like a good idea to throw talcum powder through the areas of passage of the ants inside your house, surely you do not mind spreading them outside the house . 

It is very common to see the route that ants follow to reach your home, because they usually come and go through the same place and you can run into them during the journey. Sprinkle dusts where ants usually pass and you will have them enter your home much less, as it will scare them away.

Mint leaves

Mint leaves are another good ally against ants, you just have to leave leaves in areas where you don’t want ants to be and they will leave quickly. 

A good idea is to place the leaves in small sacks of fine cloth and tie them with a cord at one end. If possible, we will use the cord to fix it to the areas where we want to leave the leaves, since if we simply place the leaves without a bag, they will most likely move easily.

Lemon juice

In general, citrus fruits are enemies of ants . You can squeeze a couple of lemons and put the juice in a spray can to spray the soil with lemon, it will not only scare away the ants, but will also serve as a potent homemade flavoring.

Garlic

 You must crush a couple of garlic heads, put it in a spray can and add water . Let the mixture stand for a couple of hours so that the water acquires the smell of garlic.

After that time you can use to spray the ants passing areas,outside and the terrace or the windows.

Orange

If you make juice in the morning for breakfast and you have ants in your house, you can keep the orange peel to place it outside and inside the house . If you leave them outside, you will surely attract more butterflies to your garden.

You can also crush the shells and place small portions in the path of the ants, it is common for them to pick up the pieces and take them with them to the anthill. If they do this, the orange will release a substance that is toxic to the ants and this will cause them to leave their anthill looking for a better place.

Baking soda and sugar

Mix in a bicarbonate bowl and sugar in equal parts and pour it in the ants’ passing areas . 

This mixture gives off a substance that is toxic to ants, so they will move away from it as soon as they detect it, so it is a method that usually works very effectively.

Avoid the appearance of ants

Once you have managed to eliminate the ants at home using any of the methods mentioned above, you should take care that they do not appear again. Here are some very important tips you should follow to prevent them from coming back:

  • Clean:  having the house well cleaned will make the ants not feel interested in being in our home. If you cook the kitchen of food scraps, bread crumbs, etc., you will not have access to easy food.
  • Use repellents:  you can use natural repellents like the ones we have mentioned, although you can also use chemicals. You just have to spray the entrances of the house, doors, windows and any other place through which ants can enter.
  • Maintain and maximize hygiene: the kitchen is the place where we store food and prepare it, hence the predilection of the ant for this space. Throughout the day it is easy to have food remains such as bread crumbs, sugar, oil splashes, … We must get used to cleaning after preparing food and not leaving remains that attract them.
  • Properly store food: small ants at home are easily introduced through any hole, accessing cupboards and cupboards. Keep food open in airtight glass jars or plastic containers, as ants can gnaw cardboard containers.
  • Seal holes using silicone or plaster: this will prevent ants from staying in those holes and even establishing nests.

Now you know how to get rid of ants at home and how to prevent them from coming back, we recommend that you use more than one of the methods that we have recommended here, since surely the result you get is much faster and more satisfactory.
