Get Rid of Ants FAST (hack!)

‪@livholistic‬
Ants are not welcome here, am I right?

[@Calipso-1126]

Some tips are to NOT do this if you have pets! If your cat smells it, they will have trouble breathing and over time can have a ton of health issues with their kidneys and lungs, same thing goes for dogs and other furry critters like that, such as ferrets, mice, and other rodents

[@dev00008]

And humans. Essential oils are super concentrated and really shouldn't be used like this.

[@ellejaye22]

I know this sounds weird, but it works! Sprinkle dry grits where you see the ants. I had a neighbor under me, and they were coming in through the window sill. I tried the gel ant bait, spray, other techniques, and nothing worked. Why does it work? The ants eat the dry gits and since they can't digest them, they perish. Sounds harsh, but it's successful and safe for curious pets/kids!

[@FlyBoiQ1]

Sooooo you’re telling me I should cancel my Amazon order I just placed

[@ellejaye22]

@FlyBoiQ1 well, it's Amazon-so it probably made it by now🫠 try the grits first and send the Amazon order back if it works😉

I thought I would chime in . I'm here in super 🔥 Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦 ants are back , I will do would I learned 10 yrs ago , 1 small dipping bowl 2 part Honey , 1 part apple cider vinegar,1 part borax mix together form paste ,cover with saran wrap ,poke holes in ,the ants will climb in take a bit to bring back to Queen. Destroys nest. 😊

[@ellejaye22]

@jan-margaret6970 This trick sounds 🔥, but I hope to never have to use any of them any time soon 🫠

[@SR-cz5yy]

These oils are ok as a deterrent but doesn't actually kill them off. They'll find another path. Real nuisance. I'm really worried because I keep getting this problem. Can't find the nest or place where they're coming in from.

[@shtevie]

How do we finish the job then?

[@AnotherWorld_DeepRest]

Try Terro ants bait in summer. I’m dealing with them right now. I think I have successfully kill one colony now. Heading for the next.

[@troyelder56]

Terro or other brand ant baits most work the same way. It’s sugary water and attractants with small amount of borax ants WILL swarm the bait that means it’s working then they take the bait poison back to the colony themselves and feed it to the queen which in a few days will die and then the colony collapses!

[@Nclk619]

Peppermint works only for couple days if at all. Sometimes they just change their path enough to make it around the oil. I tried this rack for many years because I didn't want to use anything harmful but it was a constant battle every couple days

[@CMason-yr9ks]

Thanks!😊

[@frog42]

Thank you for mentioning the warning of peppermint use. I looked it up and found it is toxic to cats so I'm staying away from it's use

[@karmahleone1196]

Unfortunately I thought I killed the ants with the peppermint oil but the next day they were back!!!! These are a different kind of ant species 🙁

[@robyntaurusbeatz703]

Yeah honestly if you spray pure white distilled vinegar alone along your baseboards and windowsills it will not only repel the ants from coming in , but it will also keep spiders and other insects away as well. This peppermint oil is not even necessary. 🫰🫰😎

[@frostflower5555]

If you have pharaoh ants, then nothing deters those disgusting things. I wish they could find a product that does.

[@YumegakaMurakumo]

​@@frostflower5555Are pharaoh ants the same as thief ants? The ones that have invaded my home STINK! Vomit-inducing. We have them bad here in Florida.

[@Sassygagirl]

Peppermint oil helped open my little chihuahuas collapse trachea open so he could breathe. 1-2 drops on a paper towel & wave it in front of the dogs nose, works wonders.

[@Aaroplane9-11]

Everybody gangsta until they become resitant

[@danieventer4350]

It diverts them only doesn't kill them

[@Togi_and_Rip]

I love ants if onily peaple new how hard they work and how unique they are

[@donnavasquez-m9o]

Is there a specific vinegar you use?

[@OhhhLaverne]

I’ve been on ant patrol for 3 days now. Every time I mess up one lane they make another. Too many ant stories to comment . Smh and all because my dad tried yes tried to make some tea and boyyyyyy we went to another city and came back to ants almost taking over. My sleep pattern is messed up and my eyes oh goodness that’s another story. 😅 definitely gotta give my therapist an update. Imma try the peppermint trick for the next lane.

[@Lily_Ducky]

A tip to start is windex. It stops their I guess you can say killing call and yah

[@jasonreviews]

use ant bait traps. once the queen eats it they'll be gone.

[@tukulitozakayamas2103]

not true. the worker ants bringing the bait.will realize the stufff is killing them. so they eventually know the baits are bad for them even if you switch place or buy knew ones

[@alisassmannshausen6808]

What do you mean safety tips for peppermint oil?

[@dancerpriyakarmakar36]

My home lots of wood ants I'm just so much frustrated 😭😭😭😭😭in my own house I feel I don't have peace just because the disturbing wood antss😭😭if anyone face the same problem please tell me your story I feel better after that knowing I'm not alone who suffering this🥺🥺

[@KODmasta07]

[@stevenordstedt2535]

All she’s doing is making them go a different direction but won’t kill the colony!

[@tollehouse1]

I ❤ ur voice

[@barbaraproscia3275]

What are the safety tips for peppermint oil?

[@katiehaitchison3038]

Yes I am interested to know too pls

[@marya_m._.1]

I hate ants too 😭 I hope that's working with me

[@angellycan]

Also like mint plants around the house works a lot, i have ants in my bed, which means it’s time to plant mint on my window sill

[@markwells8631]

@angellycan it's probably due your eating in bed dropping crumbs. Stop eating in bed to see if that solves your ant problem. I know by experience, lol

[@angellycan]

@@markwells8631 I’ve never ate anything in my bed

[@frostflower5555]

This won't work with Pharaoh ants. I can't call these ants even. More like tiny monsters.

[@patiientRose]

Those lemon drops

[@pbjgurl]

Safety tips…? Do you mean look up guidelines, precautions, warnings?

[@aldcxchamp]

Hey can you please help me? IM BEGGING YOU MAM. randomly one day I came home from softball and I looked in my room and I saw ants crawling. Not a bunch but enough for me to be a little concerned. I freaked out because there was no food in my room and my room is pretty clean. (Sanitary wise) I’m thinking that it’s coming through my window. I didn’t have this problem u til my friend opens my window and tried to close it back. Idk if it didn’t close or something right but there are ants everywhere please help!

[@ThatEmoGirl]

Did you figure it out?

[@pearly1511]

I'm facing the same problem. Opened windows in my house and now ants are crawling all over the place. Tried experimenting with loads of ant repellants but only seems to be a temporary fix. It kills the ants that are already in only to find new ones entering another spot at my house. It's been 3 weeks and this already feels like a plague. So weird...

[@ThatEmoGirl]

@@pearly1511 Im in ohio and it really does feel like a plague. I keep my house spotless and they just keep finding new ways in no matter what I do and Ive used all the expensive bug killer, bait traps etc in the market. Nothing is working.

[@hoodbarbiee2136]

Do it work

[@247mmd]

Not safe for dogs, but it is effective to repel ants, spiders, and other insects.

[@Aaroplane9-11]

Ant don't want to be in your house they don't want to be in anyone's house

[@SobiaWarraich]

I love ants 🐜

[@arwbsw]

Thanks, I just tried it the spray and it worked. I don't have any cotton balls will buy some today.

[@The_guy_that_does_it_all]

LOL LMFAO

[@troyelder56]

😂 hippies this isn’t going to get rid of your ants.. might.. MIGHT (which i highly doubt) repel them but it’s definitely not going to kill em.. funny thing is you probably brought them in with your hippy plants 🪴 😂
