Ants are among the most common insects in our homes. Although harmless and rarely harmful to our health, they can practically colonize our kitchens until we find them practically everywhere, especially in food.
To repel ants and other insects, industrial insecticides are almost always used, always full of harmful chemicals that put us at risk of respiratory illnesses and can end up in food and the air.
Fortunately, there are natural alternatives, such as essential oils, that can repel ants without exposing us to health risks or leaving a nasty odor throughout the house. Simply add a few drops to the solution you use to clean your floors to enjoy their repellent power against ants.
1. Lemon Essential Oil
This oil is very effective and can repel ants in seconds. In addition to adding it to detergent, you can also dilute it and spray it on ant entry points.
The effect is immediate, and your home will take on a delicious lemony aroma.
2. Cinnamon Essential Oil
Cinnamon is full of benefits for humans, and its essential oil is very useful and versatile. It induces a state of anxiety in ants, which causes them to leave our homes.
Furthermore, its delicious aroma lingers for hours. Add at least 5 drops of cinnamon essential oil to the solution you use to mop your floors.
3. Peppermint Essential Oil
This is one of the most repellent aromas found in nature, yet it also has wonderful health benefits. For immediate effect, apply it directly to areas where ants are found.
Again, simply add a few drops to floor detergent to enjoy its benefits.
