Looking to rid your home of ANTS ?
Try CINNAMON! Yes! Sprinkle it around your baseboards and VOILA'--no ants....non toxic....and smells wonderful!!
Another "ant be gone" remedy ? Mix borax (found in the supermarket with the laundry detergent) and white powdered sugar together and set it out anywhere the ants
might be. It works great!! They get attracted to the sugar and die immediately. (I'd only do this one with no children in the house!!)

Lisa, her husband Marc, and daughters Mercy & Cassandra live in NorthEastern Washington on their little homestead...with Cooter the Dog, Whitefoot the Cat, 25 chickens and lots of wild critters. They pray for more critters, and more children (have one more on the way now!!) and love the quiet country life amongst God's creation! Check out their website, Homestead Originals, where they specialize in All natural Soy Wax Candles, books and gifts :)

I could have used this tip a month ago, but as we live in the Ant City of KS, we'll get to test it eventually! lol THANK YOU!

Thank you for the ant tips. We have some ants in our home and I am going to sprinkle some cinnamon around the edges!

My aunt gave my mom an idea years ago. cut slices of cucumbers and place them where the aunts are coming in.....It works too. I remember having a huge infestation of ants one year in our old home as a kid due to the rose bushes outside our kitchen window. My mom tried it, and not only were they gone, but they NEVER came back again!
