Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hi Chris and members. I know I haven't been active on the list for sometime now. Do have a question on how to get rid of ants. My daughter is having problems with the little buggers. I know there was something circulating about what to use, but darned if I can remember ('intellectual overload'). Would certainly appreciate any advice. Also, Chris, I tried to get to the web site but was informed I was not a member. What do I need to do? Thanks. Blessings and love, Effie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hi Effie, I use Peppermint EO--I wipe some along where the paths they use are, and I put a cotton ball soaked in it in corners along their pathways too. They clear up pretty quick. HTH, Serra On 8/7/06, Effie Humburg <britchs wrote: > > > > Hi Chris and members. > > I know I haven't been active on the list for sometime now.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 peppermint will keep them away as well as cucumber peels Paula .......... in Michigan I used to have super powers but my therapist took them away Hi Chris and members.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 And this really works. Keep a bottle of peppermint on my kitchen counter for this very thing. -Helen Hi Effie, I use Peppermint EO--I wipe some along where the paths they use are, and I put a cotton ball soaked in it in corners along their pathways too.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Thanks a bunch for the information. I did tell my daughter I thought it was peppermint but wasn't sure. Sure appreciate your answer. Blessings and love, Effie And this really works. Keep a bottle of peppermint on my kitchen counter for this very thing. -Helen .

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hi There, I haven't been on the list in a while, but I have heard that powder cinnamon works rather well deterring ants. It also might be a little more affordable than peppermint oil (but not as clean). Sharon Switzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 peppermint plants out the door or window where the ants are coming in will work just as good as peppermint EO and much less $$ Paula .......... in Michigan I used to have super powers but my therapist took them away Hi There, I haven't been on the list in a while, but I have heard that powder cinnamon works rather well deterring ants.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 For ants in the house Try Aspartame It is magic. First designed as an ant killer, aspartame became sweetener because like this it can make mor profit... Its Fantastic as ant killer though Never taste it it's ant poison. (lol) xxx Ane* About lemon balm You could make a nice infused oil too. I make oils of any spare herbs I produce. They are pretty good as actives in cosmetology.
