Ants get plentiful during the warm summer months. Instead of grabbing a chemical spray or powder pesticide that can harm the environment, children and small animals, try these quick and natural methods to rid your home and the surrounding areas of ants.
First you would want to prevent the ants from entering your home. Ants love sugary and starchy substances, so sweep up crumbs as they fall and make sure your household trash is sealed in a container. Keep outside areas clean like outside barbecues and picnic areas. Ants will set up homes in these areas then make a path to your home. Ants carry crumbs and bits of food in a line to their nest. They will continue to do so until that line is broken. Break the line by wiping through their path with a wet sponge. This breaks the line to their food source.
Next, use essential cedar oil products to deter those ants from your home. Ants dislike the scent of cedar oil, and they won’t pass through it to enter your home. The cedar oil plugs their breathing pores and deadens the ants’ sense of smell. Parsons Pest Control of Dallasoffers many natural products for ant control that contain cedar oil. Visit their online Do-It-Yourself Pest Control store for natural pest control containing cedar oil like CedarCide and Natures Defender.
