3 Cheap Tricks to Get Rid of Ants In Your Home – Naturally & Effectively
Few things are as frustrating as discovering a trail of ants marching through your kitchen, bathroom, or pantry. While store-bought sprays can be effective, they’re often full of harsh chemicals—and let’s be real, they’re not always budget-friendly. The good news? You don’t need to break the bank or expose your family (and pets) to toxic substances to deal with these tiny invaders.
Here are 3 cheap, safe, and surprisingly effective tricks to get rid of ants in your home, using items you probably already have in your pantry!
🧂 1. White Vinegar & Water Spray
Why it works: Ants rely on scent trails to navigate and communicate with their colony. White vinegar disrupts these trails, making it difficult for them to return or bring their friends.
What you’ll need:
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- Spray bottle
How to use it:
- Mix vinegar and water in a spray bottle.
- Spray directly on ants, along their trail, and at entry points like windowsills, baseboards, or under doors.
- Wipe away with a paper towel and repeat daily until the trail disappears.
Bonus Tip: The smell fades quickly for humans, but not for ants. Regular use can help keep them from coming back!
🍋 2. Lemon Juice Barrier
Why it works: Like vinegar, lemon juice messes with ants’ scent trails. Plus, its high acidity acts as a natural repellent.
What you’ll need:
- Fresh lemon juice (or bottled if that’s what you have)
- Water
- Spray bottle or cloth
How to use it:
- Squeeze lemon juice into a spray bottle with equal parts water.
