10 Home Remedies for Ants
Home Remedy #5: Chalk
Often used by artists or by teachers for drawing on chalkboards, chalk is used quite commonly around the world. Chalk is actually a fairly common natural material. In some parts of the world, you will find it openly exposed in the landscape such as on cliffs. It is also a fairly common solution for dealing with ants.
In chalk, you will find calcium carbonate, which is a substance that ants do not like at all. Wherever there are access points for ants, lay down some powdered chalk and they should hopefully stop entering. Bear in mind that the chalk that is used for chalkboards is often not really chalk at all, so make sure you get the right stuff.
