Who can stand ants hanging around the house? Especially if you have kids. Even if you don’t, knowing that they’re around can make you feel itchy even if you’re not getting bitten by these little creatures!
However, I have some tips to avoid their invasion or get rid of them:
- Remove rubbish and food scraps - Don’t forget to do this if you wish to have a great sleep (for not being attacked by them) or not to find a new ants colony right in your kitcken!
- Wash utensils, crockery and cooking items soon after use - this is also important! No use of doing the first tips above if you don’t do this…
- Move outdoor trash and recycling bins as far from your home as possible
- Store food in sealed containers - this way, you can avoid sharing food with them
- Draw lines of chalk around your food to save it from being taken away by ants
- Are they still there? Don’t call a pest control expert yet…try to put out fresh bay leaves by your windows and doors, they are surely cheap and work wonderfully,
- or fill a squirt bottle with plain white vinegar, and squirt it anyplace you’ve seen ants (kitchen counters, windowsills, etc) and let it dry. It’s non-toxic, won’t harm anything, and the smell will go away in just a couple of minutes,
- or, try placing whole cloves in your cupboards, drawers and any place they seem to hang around, they will disappear for they don’t like the smell.
- Still have them around? Well, maybe it’s time to call the ‘expert’…
- Good luck!
Tell you a secret, I feel itchy just by looking at the above picture…
Or…do you like ants like Shosh? So, you don’t need to get busy getting rid of them
