lemon juice
Mint : the smell of mint is not pleasant for ants either. So it is sufficient to prepare an infusion with mint leaves, filter it and pour it into a bucket to wash it on the floor. The minty smell will also bring a lot of freshness into the house. Mint essential oil can also be used in this case.
Remedies to keep the ants away
Washing the floor with ingredients that ants do not like is a good idea, but sometimes it is not enough and you have to act right at the exit points. There are other unpleasant smells, here are a few:
Nails : these are perfect to put in corners or furniture, even in the kitchen, to prevent ants from getting into the food.
Talcum powder : for us its smell is very pleasant for ants but it is not really and this can also be placed in the corners of the house where they usually go out or near doors and windows.
Coffee grounds : the same to put in corners or near windows and doors.
Salt: to use especially in the kitchen but also in the bathroom and in the garden.
Spices : such as cinnamon and pepper, which have very strong smells that ants do not like. Again, simply sprinkle them in different areas of the house.
