You can get rid of ants in your house by making a homemade pesticide spray.

To make the homemade ant spray take some vinegar and mix it with water in a spray bottle and then add some essential oils to the vinegar and water mixture in the spray bottle and shake the bottle up to mix the water, vinegar and essential oils together.

You can use any essential oils that you'd like to as it doesn't matter which essential oils you use.

Then spray the homemade pesticide around the areas the ants are and even spray the ants directly.

The homemade pesticide will kill the ants naturally and then you can just wipe the ants up.

You can also use sugar and baking soda for killing ants in your home.

Mix a little sugar with some baking soda and put the homemade ant bait into a bottle cap or milk jug cap and leave it where the ants are.

The sugar will attract the ants and the baking soda will actually kill the ants.

Bakers yeast will also work to kill ants naturally.

It becomes difficult when ants enter in house and cause disturbance for most of our household activities. We can get rid of this by using following methods:

Use cinnamon mixed in oil to spread in the area where ants enter.

Mix water and white vinegar in equal amount spray where ants enter.

Rub lemon in the areas where ants reside.

Mix peppermint and some oil in water and spray it the area where ants enter.

You can use chalk, lemon, oranges and even vinegar or peppermint oil to get rid of ants.

Bakers yeast also works to kill ants as it swells their insides and kills them.

Wiping ants with a solution of equal parts of vinegar and water or only vinegar may work the best.

Spray the mixture of a cup of water, a cup of vinegar, and tea tree oil (5-10 drops) on ants.

White vinegar kills and repels the ants.

Apple cider vinegar and water solution spray can also help.
