They arrive in single file, discreet but determined, and transform our kitchens into veritable miniature highways. Ants can quickly become a daily headache. But did you know there’s a very simple trick to get rid of them, without chemicals or unnecessary expense? The secret may already be hiding in your cupboard…
Why ants invite themselves into your home (even if everything is clean)
Contrary to popular belief, ants are not necessarily attracted by a lack of cleanliness. These little explorers are simply looking for food. A forgotten crumb, a drop of jam on the counter, and here they are, arriving to reinforce their presence! Their sense of smell is impressive: they can spot a food source several meters away and get there quickly, using the smallest cracks or windowsills.
And once they’ve found the jackpot? They alert the entire colony! The result: a long procession that can quickly invade the entire house.
The natural trick that keeps ants away (harmlessly and odorlessly)
Fortunately, there’s no need to bring out the big guns to keep these little critters at bay. A simple grandmother’s trick can make all the difference. All you need are two basic ingredients, which you probably already have at home: powdered sugar and baking soda.
Yes, it’s that simple! This duo works very well to repel ants without harming your health or the environment.
