how to rid of ants

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • ground cinnamon
  1. Step 1

    Your in your kitchen cooking and along comes an ant and another one and another one. You have had enough of these bothersome little creatures. As if you didn't spend enough money for the exterminator. In addition to buying all those round little ant traps. Nothing seems to help and you are at your wits end.

  2. Step 2

    Ladies and gentlemen I have a solution for you. No, no, not any poisonous solutions or any concoction that require a lot of time and mixing.You will not have to spend any money.

  3. Step 3

    Look in your cupboard. Do you have any spices? I want you to bring out the ground cinnamon. Yes, that's right the ground cinnamon. The one that I use on top of hot oatmeal. The spice that I sprinkle on my vanilla ice cream. The one spice that I add to my French Toast.

  4. Step 4

    Open the jar and start sprinkling. Not in your foods but on your counters. That's right sprinkle a little cinnamon on the very edge of your counters. Sprinkle cinnamon closely to the walls by your cupboards.

  5. Step 5

    Wherever you see these ants. If you see them in an area where there is carpet put some cinnamon in between the wall and the carpet. Sprinkle on the edges of the floor. You can be conspicuous about it.

  6. Step 6

    As the days go by you will see fewer ants daily until they are GONE. if you need a little more help take the cinnamon outside and sprinkle the entire edge of your home.

  7. Step 7

    I did this three years ago and have not seen any ants since. I have also told a few people about this and they cant believe that this inexpensive spice, rid them of those pesky ants too.
