Ants occasionally appear in homes, typically getting inside through open windows or doors. The problem arises mainly in the summer when the small creatures seek coolness and food.

These unwelcome guests can be very bothersome and sometimes become a real nuisance. Fortunately, there are methods to get rid of ants.

How do I drive them out of the house? It turns out that spraying the door and window frames is enough. No special product is needed; you already have a "repellent" on hand!

How to get rid of ants? Here is an effective method

Ants hate the smell of vinegar. Therefore, vinegar can be boldly used in the fight against these small creatures.

Since they most often enter through windows and doors, I spray the window and door frames with a solution of water and vinegar (2:1 ratio). Ants avoid my house in a wide arc. Additionally, to get rid of the insects that have already settled in my apartment, I spray this mixture in the places where they appear, including kitchen countertops, furniture, and along the baseboards.

Ants also dislike the smell of thyme, wormwood, lavender, mint, garlic, or parsley.
