It’s not enough to make an effort to never leave traces of food lying around, they will always find them, so here’s a trick that will keep the ants away.
Simply wash the floors with vinegar and the ants will be gone.
When it’s hot, ants tend to come out of their burrows and therefore invade your home as soon as they smell food. To get rid of them you can wash the floor with vinegar. The smell of this is not very welcome by the ants who will not set foot in the house as soon as they smell it.

It is preferable to use white spirit vinegar, the smell of which is stronger. Simply put about half a glass in the floor-washing bucket filled with hot water. Run it over the floor as usual. But be careful because vinegar is corrosive on marble or natural stone floors.
Other floor-washing ingredients to keep ants away
However, vinegar is not the only way to keep ants away, there are also other smells and scents that ants don’t like. Here are some of them:
Eucalyptus oil : this plant has a very pleasant smell which, however, ants can’t stand. That is why it is perfect for washing floors at home. In addition to keeping ants away, love will also give a fresh feeling to the house. Just put 3 or 4 drops in the bucket to wash the floor.
Lemon juice : in addition to repelling ants, it also has a degreasing action and is therefore perfect for washing floors.
