Vinegar is an excellent natural way to repel and eliminate ants without using harsh chemicals. Here's how you can use it effectively:
Breaks scent trails – Ants rely on pheromone trails to navigate; vinegar disrupts these paths.
Repels them – The strong smell deters ants from entering treated areas.
Kills ants on contact – The acidity in vinegar can kill ants when sprayed directly.
🔹 Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
🔹 Spray directly on ant trails, entry points, and around windows, doors, and baseboards.
🔹 Repeat daily until ants are gone.
🔹 For severe problems, use 100% undiluted white vinegar.
🔹 Pour or spray it in ant-prone areas, cracks, and crevices.
🔹 Add 1 cup of vinegar to a bucket of water and mop floors where ants are active.
🔹 This removes their scent trails and discourages new ants.
🔹 Spray vinegar around the foundation, patio, or garden beds to deter ants.
🔹 Reapply after rain.
💡 Bonus Tip: Add a few drops of peppermint or lemon essential oil for an extra repelling effect!
Vinegar is a safe, cheap, and eco-friendly way to keep ants away. 🐜🚫
