Ants often invade your homes, becoming a nuisance. To avoid them, there are numerous products sold in stores, in spray or aerosol form, that promise to eradicate them dramatically. However, if you want to take care of nature while fighting against these pests, you can find a solution in your kitchen using an everyday ingredient.
You may have tried many repellent products filled with toxic chemicals or sold in organic stores to combat ants, but without success. These pests continue to annoy you. Try this new and natural, cost-effective grandmother’s trick that can save you trouble and guarantee pleasant moments in your garden.
Indeed, in your kitchen, particularly in your pantry, there is an ingredient that serves as an accompaniment to your meals: rice. This natural food will act as bait and help combat ants and other types of insects.
So, how should you proceed?
To prepare this repellent, it is recommended to wear gloves to prevent the rice from being impregnated with your scent. To make it work, grind the rice grains and place them in a container of your choice. Then, wait for the ants to arrive. They will carry one grain of rice at a time back to their nest. The starch in the rice will have a toxic effect and eliminate the ants. This natural repellent acts as a poison.
