    Go Away Ants.

    June 1, 2011 |

    And this my friends is why we have ants,

    reason number one:

    and number two:

    I seriously swept 5 times yesterday, I’m up to three today.

    I’ve just about had enough, so today I picked up some peppermint essential oil. I heard that the ants hate it and am planning on dousing my kitchen with a water/peppermint oil mixture.

    Are ants driving you nuts?

    thanks for reading our feed, please stop by the house for a visit sometime soon. 🙂

      Do you have a spam issue on this site; I also am a blogger,
      and I was wondering your situation; many of us have
      developed some nice methods and we are looking to exchange
      strategies with others, be sure to shoot me an e-mail if interested.

      Let me know it that works.We use Terro, found at home depot or lowes. It attracts them, they eat ALL the liquid and take it back to the nest to kill off everyone.Strategic placement is a must if you have pets and little ones though. But check it out.

      Yes, I think Borax is pretty much the only thing that will eventually kill them. Such a pain!

      Make a small mixture of about 2 cups warm water and a lot of borax (about 1/2 cup) and spray it around the exterior or your doors and windows. You can also sprinkle it around the base of your foundation. Oh, i have also found that they don't like vinegar either 🙂
