Great information. I am just getting into the aroma therapy field and am enjoying every aspect of it. Glad to have found this site also
I wouldn’t have ever thought to use some of these, especially the cinnamon essential oil.
I’ve used vinegar on cotton balls to repel ants in the kitchen.
Last summer we had a serious ant problem and we use all the above except for the cinnamon essential oil. We did not get rid of them. We had to dig them out.
Vinegar and water is what I’ve always used but I haven’t tried adding anything else to it … yet.
This is a problem for me every dang year. Thank you for these helpful tips!
I love the natural tips for getting rid of ants. We get them almost every year in the spring and summer.
