Ants may be the tiniest insects that invade human habitat but they sure do create a great amount of havoc, at time, without giving you an inkling of what they are up to!
The sheer consistency that ants display, as well the numbers they have on their side, both come together to create a situation of extreme nuisance, not to mention these seemingly harmless insects are capable of.
Well, if you’re up against an ant attack and do not know what to do about it, here are a few ant repellent ideas that will help you get rid of these troublesome creatures.
When it comes to repellents, especially if you are up against a minor ant invasion that you think you can handle on your own, there are plenty of homemade solutions that are easily available to you.
The first thing to do is to identify the type of ants that have invaded your house and while most repellents work on all kinds of ants, in some cases, it is better to choose a particular type of repellent for particular types of ants.
Borax is a simple constituent that is easily available and works great on ants. Mix one part borax powder with three parts powdered sugar, and you have a potent mix that is sure to spell the death of the ants and even their entire colony.
Spraying vinegar may seem like too easy a solution to a serious problem, but it sure works as an effective ant repellent! You will have to spray a vinegar solution several times a day on any ant trails, but eventually, you are sure to have an ant-free environment.
Of course, if the problem is a serious one, call in a pest control expert and you are sure to have a handy solution on your hands soon.
