Do you have ants in your house? Our various natural ant repellent recipes are very effective, so you don't have to use pesticides in your house. Ants can be quite the problem in many households as they invade living space in search of a limitless food supply and stable shelter.
A great way to get rid of these insects is to block their paths naturally with white chalk. For one reason or another, sugar ants and carpenter ants avoid chalk like the plague.
You can use this to your advantage by drawing lines to block off their entry holes, on windows and counters, and around any food bowls you leave out.This method won't kill them, but it is a good temporary measure to use while you are figuring out other ways to exterminate them.
Another effective ant killer is this wonderful home remedy for killing ants.
Instead of using chemicals or sprays, you can actually feed them instead! Feeding carpenter ants, sugar ants, and fire ants things like corn meal will kill them because it expands in their stomach and cannot be digested.
Another trick to try is to spray vinegar or baking soda mixed with water over their mounds. These ingredients are poisonous to them and will stop them completely.
It may also be a good idea to collapse their mounds and tunnels with a pot of boiling water, if you can. This is sure to send them packing as they look for other places to make their home (outside of you home of course!)Try using several of these home remedies for killing ants at once for the best results.
