Ants are not welcome here, am I right?

Some tips are to NOT do this if you have pets! If your cat smells it, they will have trouble breathing and over time can have a ton of health issues with their kidneys and lungs, same thing goes for dogs and other furry critters like that, such as ferrets, mice, and other rodents

I know this sounds weird, but it works! Sprinkle dry grits where you see the ants. I had a neighbor under me, and they were coming in through the window sill. I tried the gel ant bait, spray, other techniques, and nothing worked.
Why does it work? The ants eat the dry gits and since they can't digest them, they perish. Sounds harsh, but it's successful and safe for curious pets/kids!

These oils are ok as a deterrent but doesn't actually kill them off. They'll find another path. Real nuisance. I'm really worried because I keep getting this problem. Can't find the nest or place where they're coming in from.

It diverts them only doesn't kill them

Everybody gangsta until they become resitant

Unfortunately I thought I killed the ants with the peppermint oil but the next day they were back!!!! These are a different kind of ant species 🙁

Peppermint works only for couple days if at all. Sometimes they just change their path enough to make it around the oil. I tried this rack for many years because I didn't want to use anything harmful but it was a constant battle every couple days

Thank you for mentioning the warning of peppermint use. I looked it up and found it is toxic to cats so I'm staying away from it's use

Peppermint oil helped open my little chihuahuas collapse trachea open so he could breathe. 1-2 drops on a paper towel & wave it in front of the dogs nose, works wonders.

All she’s doing is making them go a different direction but won’t kill the colony!

I’ve been on ant patrol for 3 days now. Every time I mess up one lane they make another. Too many ant stories to comment . Smh and all because my dad tried yes tried to make some tea and we went to another city and came back to ants almost taking over. My sleep pattern is messed up and my eyes oh goodness that’s another story. 😅 definitely gotta give my therapist an update.
Imma try the peppermint trick for the next lane.

This won't work with Pharaoh ants. I can't call these ants even. More like tiny monsters.
