An ant invasion in our homes can certainly be annoying, although it may take us a while to notice given the tiny nature of these insects. This does not mean that we have to resort to chemical products, which on some occasions can be partially harmful to our health when it comes to disposing of them. For this reason, we can use a series of simple home remedies to consistently address the control of an ant infestation.

Eliminate ants through the use of home remedies

• One of the most classic home remedies when it comes to dealing with these insects consists of filling a plastic bottle that has a sprinkler with warm water and a little liquid soap -the typical one we use at home to wash the dishes-. We must shake the mixture well and spray it on the ants once we see them appear. In the same way, we can use the same technique with a different filling: lemon juice. Either option will cause the instant death of the ants.
• Some of the places where ants usually travel are sockets and switches, so we can prepare traps in these places to eliminate them. To do this we will proceed to unscrew the plates that house said switches and use a little boric acid as a home remedy. When the ants pass through the places where we have placed this substance, they will transport it on their trips to the nests in which they reside and proceed to contaminate them.
• Another homemade trick to eliminate ants is to combine a quarter cup of sugar with a similar amount of honey. Once the mixture is made, we have to introduce it and heat it in the microwave for long enough for it to melt. To enhance its elimination action against these insects, we can add a little boric acid and place the preparation -always using a container so as not to stain the house unnecessarily- in strategic places where ants appear.
