10 Home Remedies for Ants
Home Remedy #4: Peppermint
Most of us will know peppermint well from gum and other breath fresheners. It is also found in some candies and has a quite unique and fresh aroma. While humans tend to enjoy the aroma, though, ants are not so keen on it and will generally try to keep away.
To use peppermint as an ant deterrent, mix some peppermint essential oils in with some water. You can then spray or sprinkle the mixture wherever you are likely to find ants, although you could also try doing the same with dried peppermint instead. It could help to keep ants away while also helping to make the home smell fresh at the same time.
