### A Few Tips to Remember

* While effective at repelling ants, coffee grounds won’t kill them or destroy a colony.
* For larger infestations, consider combining this method with other natural deterrents like vinegar, cinnamon, or diatomaceous earth.
* Always use used grounds, not fresh, to avoid attracting ants with the sugar-like scent of fresh coffee.
