Cinnamon to Keep Ants Out of Your Home
WouterWhether you’re looking for a natural remedy or you just want to keep ants out of your home, cinnamon has been known to be effective in deterring ants from entering the home. It can be purchased in a powder form or a spray form. It is best to use cinnamon in combination with other forms of repellent.
The first thing you should do is find the entrances to your home where ants are coming in. Once you know the entry points, you can create a barrier to keep ants from entering.
One of the most common ways to do this is by putting cinnamon sticks near the entrances. Another option is to put ground cinnamon near the doors and windows. You can also make sachets that can be placed at these entry points.
Another method is to mix cinnamon essential oil with peppermint oil and other essential oils. These oils are all natural and are highly effective at deterring ants.
Cinnamon can be diluted with 90% water to create a spray that can be sprayed on surfaces where ants are active. It should be sprayed on a daily basis.
Cinnamon has a strong smell that ants do not like. So, the best way to use cinnamon is to place it in a thin line around the perimeter of your home. If ants are coming into your home, you should also place cinnamon in other areas where they are not likely to go.
