5 home remedies for getting rid of ants

By Anujj Trehaan

1

Camphor

Camphor is a natural insecticide that can be used to get rid of ants by dissolving a tablet in water or sprinkling crushed powder around. 

2

Peppermint oil

Peppermint essential oil can be used as an insect repellent by mixing it with water and spraying it around the house. Ants deter its strong scent. 

3

White vinegar

White vinegar is a natural cleaning agent that deters ants, making it a useful solution for keeping them away. Add a few drops of white vinegar to water and clean your house with it. 

4

Lemon peels

Ants don't like the scent of lemon, so they won't move around areas that smell like lime. The acidic property of lemon juice masks their scent trails and deters them.

5

Salt

Salt mixed with vinegar, baking soda, or boiling water can be an effective natural treatment to keep ants away as it destroys their exoskeleton.
