Pepper Solution:

Sprinkle some black pepper where the ants are in groups, as they dislike the pepper smell & it's unbearable for them.

Cinnamon Trick or Turmeric:

Turmeric as well as cinnamon work as natural ant repellents, sprinkle them in the corners of your home and around the kitchen as well. Or you can even sprinkle if you see the ants in the group.

Keep Your Home Clean & Dry:

Ants are attracted to sugar and water sources, so always keep your house clean, wipe away the food crumbs, spills or any kind of moisture.

⁠Borax & Sugar Bait:

Mix sugar with borax powder and then place it where there is an ant trail, they will carry it to their home, eliminating all the ants.

Seal cracks & entry point:

If there is any crack on your windows, doors, or walls, remember to seal them, especially during summer, as it will prevent ants from coming in.

⁠Use Lemon & citrus peel:

Ants never like citrus things, you can place lemon and orange peels near the entry point to keep them away.

Use coffee grounds:

If you sprinkle coffee grounds around the entry points of the ants they won’t be able to bear the strong smell and run away.
