How to Stop Ants From Entering Your Home Inexpensively And Without Chemicals

By following this easy instruction you will stop ants from parading across your kitchen floors and counters. It will be effective in other rooms of your home as well

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Pyrex measuring cup or any other cup with a pouring spout
• white vinegar

1. Pour vinegar up to the 1/3 cup mark on your Pyrex cup. If you are using a cup or pitcher that does not have measurement marks, then pour the vinegar into a 1/3 cup measuring cup and from there into a cup with a spout.

2. Most of us don't notice the ants until they are "underfoot" or forming a line across our kitchen counters, floors or up/down the wall. So before you start swatting or stomping, follow them back to their entry.

3. Once you have located the point of origin, pour a thin, steady stream across the entire area. For example, they enter my kitchen from under the baseboard at an area near my back door. I pour the vinegar on the floor at the bottom of the baseboard.

Tips & Warnings

• You may have to retreat the area a short time later. But if you persist, you will stop their entry.
• I know the vinegar does not harm carpet or no-wax linoleum. However, I have never used it on wood floors. I know most wooden floors are sealed but would suggest you test first by placing a very small drop in an out-of-the way place and checking to see if it causes any discoloration.
