Keep Those Pesky Ants Away The Inexpensive and Natural Way

There are many ways to use salt besides flavoring food. If you are looking for natural alternatives to use around your home, plain old SALT is an easy way to get rid of pesky ants. Sprinkle salt at your doorways, inside and out to keep the ants away. Also, use it at your window sills, under your sink, along your garage door opening, and anywhere else you’ve seen the little culprits. Evidently, they don’t like to walk on salt so they will turn around if they can’t get beyond the grains. I’ve also learned that if it gets on their feet they eat it and it lights out. Sorry critters but that’s the breaks if you try to trespass!

 

USAGE TIP: It doesn’t have to be a mountain of salt, just a nice layer; put down enough for little ant feet to know it’s there.

This is a chemical-free, non-toxic, inexpensive solution to a spring time problem. I have woods behind my house, and I’ve used it at the deck door for years… It works!

More TIPS For This Salt Hack:

(1) If you have pets, only use it in areas where they don’t have access or be sure to prevent them from walking in the salt; it’s not good for their paws, and they will eat it when they lick it off.

 

(2) For us humans, remember to step OVER the salted areas so you don’t track it onto your carpets or wood floors.

 

(3) Add more salt when you see it dissipating.

 

A little extra-care when using this pest solution is better than spraying chemicals all over!
