Ants are great at slipping into the house! They always find cracks between doors and windows… And once they’re in, ants quickly detect where the sweet foods are.

Fortunately, there is a simple and effective grandmother’s trick to get rid of ants naturally in the house.

Anti-ants: the recipe that works every time!

To strengthen your daily cleaning, you can clean your surfaces with a cleaning product based on white vinegar or cider vinegar. Ants actually hate strong odors. To reinforce this repellent effect, you can add an essential oil with a strong, acidic odor to the mixture.

To make your natural anti-ant cleaning product, pour 2/3 of a volume of lukewarm water into a spray bottle and complete with white vinegar or cider vinegar, plus around ten drops of essential oil. The most effective essential oils against ants are: lemon, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint and tea tree.

Use this mixture as a non-toxic cleaning product and spray it on high-risk areas or areas of the house: windows, entrances, balconies or terraces. This mixture will also have an effect on other pests such as aphids. Spray with caution on your plants.
