Upon arrival of the first days of Spring, the long battle against ants starts. A research conducted at Stanford University proved that it is climatic conditions that make ants come into our homes.
Even if we want to eliminate them all, chemical products don’t have the desired effect since they often end up causing us health problems like a cough or congestion.
Therefore, instead of using dangerous chemical products to eliminate ants from your house, you should start using peppermint essential oil. All you need to do is spray it around your house, especially in areas where you’ve noticed ants. Ants hate the smell of this essential oil, so it will keep them away.
Here is how to make an effective, natural, and reliable homemade repellent:
Ingredients
- 30 drops of peppermint essential oil
- 30 drops of clove essential oil
- 4 oz of water
Method
- In a spray bottle, mix the ingredients.
- Shake well.
- Spray everywhere.
- If necessary, repeat this a few times.
