As temperatures rise and springtime blooms, many homeowners find themselves facing an age-old nuisance, ant invasions. Here are three natural ways to get rid of ants without using chemicals
As the weather gets warmer and flowers start to bloom, many people find themselves dealing with a common problem - ants in their homes. In the past, most people would reach for chemical insecticides to get rid of these tiny invaders.
Using natural methods not only reduces the risk of exposure to harmful chemicals, but also provides long-term solutions that make homes healthier places to live for families and pets, reports the Express. One of the most effective natural ways to control ants involves using everyday ingredients that you can find in almost any kitchen.
The acetic acid in vinegar interferes with the ants' ability to follow scent trails, which makes it harder for them to find their way around and communicate with each other. Lemon juice and essential oils, like peppermint, tea tree, and lavender, can help keep ants away because of their strong smells and natural bug-killing properties.
