My 5 Tips to Naturally Repel Ants from the House.
The sun is finally ours, and the garden is waking up. Flowers bloom, fruits appear and so do insects!
Our friends the ants are part of biodiversity, but can be too invasive.
Let's see together the different natural tips to repel them.
Faced with a characterized invasion, we must react. But you don't want to use a chemical that will eradicate (for a while) the nearby ants, but rather a natural product.
You are right, here is a small anthology of the 5 best tipsorganic.
1. A moldy lemon
Yes, written like that, it doesn't sound ideal, and yet this tip is drastic. The smell and acidity of lemon scare away ants. Collect a forgotten lemon and, instead of throwing it away, cut it into small pieces that you will have in the places frequented by our friends.
They will flee at full speed! To be renewed approximately every 10 days.
2. Mint and basil leaves
If, like me, you have a few mint and basil plants in the garden, collect a few leaves from each and distribute them in strategic places.
Ants hate their smells!
3. Warm white vinegar
The acidity and the smell will once again have a repellent action on our invaders.
You can sprinkle the nest with lukewarm white vinegar beforehand, then you will take care to maintain your interior (tables, worktops ...), to clean your window borders and privileged places with it as well.
4. Chalk
The school being finished, recover the unused pieces of chalk and draw a line on the path of the ants, they do not like the texture of the chalk at all, they will not go beyond! Some go further and spread pieces of crushed chalk there.
Whichever version is chosen, it turns out to be very effective.
5. Crushed garlic
Pound garlic and place this mixture on their course. The strong smell emanating from them will repel them quite naturally.
Two bonus tips for fighting ants
Because it's you, here are two other anti-ant tips that we had already mentioned: coffee grounds are a very good ally in repelling ants. Do not throw it away, it can still serve you.
If you don't drink coffee, a tomato can be very useful for you to get rid of these little bugs!
