As soon as the first days of summer arrive, we all begin a long fight against the ants that seem to be around our homes.
A survey conducted at Stanford University showed that ants enter our homes due to weather conditions.
It is a fact that its elimination is not easy, and commercial pest control products are loaded with chemicals.
The National Library of Medicine's Toxicology Data Network reports that at the time of exposure, cypermethrin, which is one of the two active ingredients in Raid Ant & Roach Spray, can lead to congestion, coughing, and shortness of breath. such as wheezing and asthma.
In addition, the main ingredient of most commercial insecticides is actually a nerve agent that disturbs the nervous system of insects when in direct contact, which tells a lot about its effects on humans as well.
So instead of using harmful chemicals to eliminate ants from your home, you should start using peppermint essential oil.
Just sprinkle throughout the house and especially in areas where you notice most of the ants. Ants hate the smell of this essential oil, so you will keep them away.
Here's how to prepare another effective, natural and safe homemade ant repellent:
Ingredients:
30 drops peppermint essential oil
30 drops of clove essential oil
4 drops of water
Instructions:
In a spray bottle, mix the ingredients, shake well and spray all over the place. If necessary, you can repeat the method.
