Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi, does anyone have recipe for a natural ant spray? I put down some cayenne pepper, but would like something a little less messy & noticeable. Thanks, Danielle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I was told to sprinkle corn meal around the ant hills. Apparently they can't digest it, and will die from it. Also I believe I just read that vinegar will do the trick as well. Google 'clean with vinegar' and I think it's in that very long list of stuff vinegar will do.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Not natural but if you put one packet of Aspartame (nutrasweet),opened of course...where you have the problem, the ants will take it back to the colony and they will all die. I've heard if you put a packet in each corner of the rooom, but that doesn't seem like it would work. The " messy " thing I use, just because I have it when I see the ants is cinnamon, I put a barrier around the window where they come in and they immediately start a retreat. , " dhsellers " <dhsellers wrote: > > Hi, > > does anyone have recipe for a natural ant spray?

I use the cinnamon too, around the doors. It looks like dirt though, so you have to sweep it up before company comes. I also use one of those sonic ant repellers that plugs into the wall. Seems to have been pretty effective.
