You Tell Me: Natural Remedies for the Ant Invasion

We are moving tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow. I can’t quite believe it, and I can’t quite believe I will be ready on time! It is going to be a big push today and tomorrow, and then I hope we can settle into a routine again.

Meanwhile, I noticed that our new house already has an ant problem. I know it is that time of year again. I have just been thankful that we have not had any ant issues at our old house. For some reason, it seemed immune to ants. As I pack our pantry, I am making sure that all food is firmly sealed, and I also dug out this natural ant deterrent and killer (EcoSMART Ant and Roach Killer ), which I may use (though it smells very strongly of essential oils!). In the very first house that my husband and I lived at, we had ant issues, and I remember filling in little cracks and crevices, so that they couldn’t keep coming inside.

But I bet that you all have a lot of suggestions and ideas that are also natural and safe. Please share! You tell me what you use to fight the ants off!
