Ants do not appear out of thin air. They have to be entering somewhere. The next step is to locate their entry point. You can identify their entry point by simply watching their movements. You might see them through an open door or window, or small cracks and holes within the structure. They are most likely hiding in places like inner walls and window frames. After locating the entry point, clean and seal it.

You should not only find the entry point but also the source. Is there an ant nest nearby? You can follow their movements to find the colony. They leave a scent trail that leads them from their nest to their food source. The trail will then lead them back to your kitchen.

Natural ant killers

Although we don’t recommend them as the best course of action, there are natural ways to get rid of ants.

When ants find food, they leave behind scent trails. These scent trails can be erased using cloths that have been soaked in bleach or disinfectant. The trail will not be removed by water alone. The trail can be effectively erased by using a simple mixture of vinegar and water. This is not a way to kill ants, but to destroy the trail.

There are also some home remedies that can be used to repel ants. Citrus smells are not a favorite of ants. Mixing lemon juice, orange peels, or cucumber rinds in warm water can make a repellent. Use the solution to soak a towel and wipe down surfaces. To mop the floors, you can use a similar solution.

It is also known that spices and herbs repel ants. Some effective options include black pepper, garlic, mint and cayenne pepper.

Another preventative measure is diatomaceous earth. It can be used to seal small cracks or holes and to treat edges that have been affected by ant activity. Spraying wet diatomaceous Earth on walls is also possible.
