You don't need insecticides or ant traps to ant-proof your kitchen. Just give it the lemon treatment. First squirt some lemon juice on door thresholds and windowsills. Then squeeze lemon juice into any holes or cracks where the ants are getting in.
If you have a problem with ants in your home or greenhouse, cinnamon is a good deterrent. Ants donât like to walk where cinnamon powder lays, so summer ant problems will be decreased. Use cinnamon for pests inside and outside your house. Find their entryway and sprinkle cinnamon powder in the path. Cinnamon wonât kill the ants in your home, but it will help to keep them from coming inside. If you have a problem with ants in your childâs sandbox, mix a container of cinnamon powder with the sand, mixing it well.
