How to Use It
🧼 Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Mix the Solution
Combine equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Add 10–15 drops of peppermint oil if using. - Spray Affected Areas
Generously spray the mixture directly on ant trails, entry points (like windows, door frames, and cracks), and anywhere you see ants. - Wipe & Reapply
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes, then wipe with a clean cloth. Repeat daily until the ants are gone — which usually happens very quickly!
Bonus: Prevent Future Infestations
After clearing them out, here’s how to keep them away permanently:
- Seal cracks and crevices where ants might enter.
- Keep surfaces clean and food sealed. Ants are mostly after crumbs and sugar.
- Spray the vinegar mix weekly as a preventative barrier near doors, windows, and under appliances.
Extra Tip: DIY Ant Powder
For added protection around baseboards or outdoor entry points, sprinkle a line of:
- Cinnamon
- Coffee grounds
- Diatomaceous earth (food-grade)
These natural substances repel or dehydrate ants on contact — no chemicals needed.
