- Ants are looking for sugar. Give them some pepper instead. Cayenne pepper sprinkled in spots where the ants are looking, such as along the backs of your countertops or on your baseboards, will tell them that no sugar is ahead.
- If you find the ants’ home colony a little too close to yours and it is causing them to relocate to your kitchen, cayenne pepper can help get rid of it. Pour the pepper down the ant hole and say so long to ants. If you don’t manage to find the nest, you can sprinkle cayenne pepper near the opening where ants enter your home.
- Place a plastic container on the bottom of each picnic table leg. Fill with water. The ants won’t be able to crawl past.
- If ants are beating a path to your home, intercept them by sprinkling salt across the door frame or directly on their paths. Ants will be discouraged from crossing this barrier.
