Has the warmer weather brought ants into your home? Then, give this all natural, all frugal remedy a try:
Herbs/Spices
Spinkle cinnamon, mint, chili pepper, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves or garlic--whichever one you happen to have--in the area where you've seen ants and along your home's foundation. Bay leaves can also be placed in cabinets, drawers and food containers to further deter those pesky ants.
Why This Works: Many plants—including the ones listed—give off a strong scent to repel ants and other insects in the wild, and it works just as well in your home.
