10 Home Remedies for Ants
Home Remedy #8: Cinnamon
Cinnamon is an ingredient that is often found in pastries, cakes, and some other foods. It has quite a strong aroma that many people find quite irresistible, but ants are not likely to agree. Ants can’t stand the strong smell of cinnamon and will generally do what they can to keep away from it.
Sprinkle some cinnamon around popular ant trails and they should hopefully decide against using them from then on. You could also try to enhance the effect by mixing it with some essential oils that will help make the smell even stronger. Remember, though, that leaving cinnamon cakes lying around may not have the desired effect.
