Effective DIY Ant Killing Solution: How to Make and Use It Safely (Page 2 ) | May 30, 2024
INSTRUCTIONS:
Advertisement:- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a spray bottle, combine equal parts white vinegar and water. The acidic nature of vinegar helps disrupt the ants’ scent trails and repels them from entering your home.
- Add a few drops of dish soap to the vinegar and water mixture. The dish soap helps break down the ants’ waxy outer coating, making them more susceptible to the vinegar solution.
- If desired, you can also add a few drops of peppermint essential oil or place citrus peels in the spray bottle to enhance the deterrent effect. Ants are repelled by the strong scents of peppermint and citrus.
- Shake Well:
- Once all the ingredients are combined in the spray bottle, shake it well to ensure they are thoroughly mixed.
- Locate Ant Trails:
- Before applying the DIY ant killing solution, identify the areas where ants are entering your home or where they have established trails. Common entry points include windowsills, door frames, cracks in walls, and gaps around pipes and cables.
- Apply the Solution:
- Spray the DIY ant killing solution directly onto ant trails, entry points, and areas where ants are congregating.
- Be thorough in your application, ensuring that you cover all surfaces where ants are present. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices where ants may be hiding.
- Repeat as Needed:
- Monitor the effectiveness of the DIY ant killing solution and reapply as needed.
- For severe infestations, you may need to repeat the application multiple times over several days to completely eradicate the ants.
