How To Make An Organic Anti – Ant Spray
organic and effective way of eliminating ants from your home.
Take note that we did not try using this on a larger scale, just for plain home use, which we found effective. So, if you want to have an ant-free home, follow the easy steps below and create your own effective anti-ant spray!
The common domesticated ants that we encounter are most of the time destructive. These ant species include banded sugar ants, yellow crazy ants, and European fire ants to name a few. They come in the way of humans by raiding foods in the cupboard, damaging crops, ruining indoor structures and even biting us. Their bite causes swelling because they have a sting in their mouth.
It is quite a challenge to eliminate a colony of ants, especially during the summer season where they tend to collect their food for future use during the rainy season. However, it is possible to eliminate them using either chemical, biological or physical methods which can be carried out by either the homeowner or a pest control professional. We try to avoid using avoid using harmful chemicals in our home, especially if we have children or babies around, so we prefer natural solutions for eliminating ants.
