A trick to prevent ants from entering the kitchen

A formidable home tip: the vinegar and essential oil duo

There’s no need to  spend a fortune  or spray your home with chemicals to find peace.  My father, a clever DIY enthusiast and a fan of DIY , used a method that was as simple as it was effective: a homemade spray made from white vinegar and peppermint essential oil.

Why does this blend work so well? Because it works on two fronts:

• White vinegar, thanks to its acidity and strong odor , completely covers the trails left by ants.
• Essential oils (peppermint or tea tree) have naturally repellent properties for many insects, including ants.

Homemade recipe: natural anti-ant spray

Here’s how to make this spray in just a few minutes:

Ingredients :

• 250 ml  of white vinegar
• 250 ml  of water
• 10 to 15 drops of peppermint or tea tree essential oil
