Ants play an important role in maintaining the balance of nature. For this reason, ants should not be killed for whatever reason. The use of chemical ant remedies to get rid of ants that have settled disturbingly in homes or gardens causes the death of these creatures. It is necessary to try natural solutions instead of chemical drugs to keep ants away from their habitats without killing them.
To keep ants out of your home, the first thing to remember is that these creatures do not settle in homes for no reason. Most of the time, ants enter homes to meet their food needs, and secondly to meet their water needs. For this reason, you should constantly clean the kitchen or dining room parts of your homes and make sure that there is no food residue or exposed food.
If you are careful not to leave food in the open but still have ants in your home, trace the path they make and identify their entry points. You can then place some of the ants’ least favorite things at these points and along the path they follow through the house. For example, if ants enter the kitchen through the door and move along the kitchen counter, you can pour baby powder along their path from the door. Baby powder is one of the things that ants do not like at all, and when they see it somewhere, they immediately move away. Ants also dislike the smell of cinnamon, cloves and garlic. In addition to these, pure water mixed with 1/3 of vinegar is also sufficient to repel ants. You can spray this prepared water in the same way where the ants are located and get rid of these creatures in a short time.
Instead of killing ants, which are known to be hardworking, it makes more sense to remove them from homes. This is more important both in terms of preserving the balance of nature and for the safety of tiny individuals in homes.
