🧠 Why This Works So Fast
- Vinegar kills ants instantly and disrupts their scent trails.
- Dish soap breaks down the ants’ exoskeletons and suffocates them on contact.
- Peppermint oil or lemon acts as a natural repellent — ants hate strong, citrusy smells.
🏠 Bonus Tips to Keep Ants Away for Good
- Seal entry points: Use caulk or weather stripping around windows and doors.
- Keep food sealed: Store sweets, cereals, and pet food in airtight containers.
- Wipe surfaces regularly: Ants are drawn to even the tiniest crumbs or spills.
- Empty the trash frequently and avoid leaving dirty dishes in the sink overnight.
