Ants are an indiscriminating visitor, of every household. They spare no house and are found in every kitchen.
If you want ants to stop ransacking your house here are some tips that you will find very useful
1) Ants have exoskeletons, and boric acid when sprinkled on ants tends to dissolve their skeleton framework and kill them. Sprinkle some boric acid on the place where ants frequent the most and just make sure that they cross over it. The ants do not have to eat them though; an external touch of the powder is enough to kill the ant.
2) Place laurel leaves in places that the ant is more likely to visit. They act as a good repellant.
3) A natural repellant of citrus peels and water when grinded together proves to be a good repellant.
4) Drown the ants by pouring gallons of water in the anthills.
5) Sprinkling dried peppermint and red chilli powder over cracks where ants are most likely to enter will prevent them from stepping out of the holes.
6) Sprinkling black pepper on areas where ants are most likely to meet will cause them to scatter away.
7) Ants tend to follow the trail of their fellow ants in search of food. Vinegar has a chemical that tends to alter the ants scent, therefore preventing ants from visiting your kitchen.
8) Just draw a line using a plain white chalk; surprisingly ants don’t cross over chalk lines. Try it out and see for yourself.
9) Place white cloves near crevices, cracks, doors, windows and all the places ants frequent. You will not find them any where close to your kitchen.
10) Even sprinkling a line of cayenne pepper helps keep the ants away.
All the above ways will help keep your kitchen free from ants.
