(3 hours ago)The warmest weather moves people to come out and enjoy the sun, but they are often not alone. High temperatures also bring an increase in the number of ants.
Since ants appear at home, they may be difficult to escape. They follow fragrant tracks, and once they find a food source, they continue to return constantly.
While many homeowners usually use dry powders or sprays, there is another method that can disrupt ant's fragrant tracks and make them less likely to settle in your home. Baby powder can help keep ants away without the need for specialized products.
Glen Peskett, DYY work expert from the Sexton Blades Multi Tools company, said:
“Ants follow scented tracks, so when one finds food, it leaves a kind of route for the rest of the colony to follow.
The idea of using a baby powder is that it can disrupt these tracks and make it harder for ants to find their way back. It will not completely eliminate or solve a large event, but some people have noticed that it helps reduce the number of ants in certain locations. ”
He added that this is the “one of those old tricks that returns every summer”, but that might be useful.
All you have to do is gently spray baby powder at the points where ants are suspected of entering the house, such as window frames, floor rolls, and doorposts.
This creates a physical and fragrant barrier that distracts ants.
The best way to keep your home without an ant clean is to keep it clean. Ants are attracted to food, so clean up any food or drink spills immediately and regularly extract waste.
