How Can We Use Hit For Ants?
WouterWhether you are looking to kill ants or pests, there are many ways to get the job done. You can choose to go with a natural insecticide or a toxic one, either way it is going to be safer for you and your family.
Natural insecticides use a cocktail of ingredients to create a ant repellent that is both safe and effective. They can be used indoors or outdoors. The ingredients include geraniol and lemongrass, which affect the nervous systems of insects. They are safe to use around your pets as well.
If you don’t want to use a natural insecticide, you can make your own ant repellent using borax. Borax is an organic insecticide that is effective against ants. However, it should not be used near children.
A common homemade ant lure is made by mixing one teaspoon of borax with three tablespoons of powdered sugar. The mixture can be pressed into a short open tube, and left near ant trails.
Another effective organic ant repellent is coffee grounds. Coffee grounds are effective because they contain chemical compounds similar to ant repellents. They can be placed around your house foundation or in areas where ants often congregate. Coffee grounds may lose their potency when dried.
Peppermint essential oil can also be used as a natural insect repellent. It can be bought at health food stores or online. It can be sprayed around windows and baseboards. It can also be used on cotton balls.
