Ants are a common problem in the home. Pests are attracted to an abundance of food.
How to get rid of ants in the house using traps
One of the easiest ways to get rid of insects in your home is to use special ant traps.
You'll need to place traps on window sills, near baseboards, thresholds, and holes in the floor.
It is also worth setting a trap near a trash can or table.
You can also use sticky gel traps. Ants instantly stick to surfaces.
Ant traps can be purchased at any hardware store.
They come in different shapes and sizes. Choose the most effective ones.
How to repel ants using scents
Ants don't like many smells.
You can use white vinegar to repel insects from your home. This will help both repel and kill pests.
Spray the vinegar solution wherever you see ants.
Additionally, use citrus fruits and peppermint oil to repel insects. Ants don't like these smells either.
Pests also do not tolerate the smell of cinnamon. It also contains aldehyde, which is poisonous to insects.
To get rid of ants in your home, sprinkle ground cinnamon in areas where insects live and frequent.
The strong scent of cinnamon will act as a natural repellent.
You can also coat cotton balls with cinnamon powder or cinnamon oil and place them near the areas where there are ants.
