[Grovenet] Ants

[Vickie Madeoneup]

I have no idea if these work, I found them using "safe ant control" as my search.
  
  Good luck! I hope you find one that works.

  sprinkle cinnamon, cucumber peels, or lemon juice, all of which are natural ant repellants.
  
  they hate baby        powder (preferably scented talcum)
  
            Fill a squirt bottle with plain old cheap white vinegar, and squirt it          anyplace you've seen ants (kitchen counters, windowsills, etc) and let          it dry
  
  Black pepper is a nonlethal, poison          free, cheap, and safe way to get rid of ants
  
  equal parts Windex and Ivory Soap. Simply mix, and spray          problem areas. 
    
  Shakley's Basic H. It is a non-toxic      soap made from soybeans. I take a pint spray bottle, fill it 1/3 with Basic      H and 2/3 with water, mixing gently
  
  place Bay Leaves on your counters and preferably          along the trail where they are coming in
  
  use plain white chalk              drawn in a line at the place they come in they wont cross for some              reason
  
  To kill ants that have entered  your home without poison I use              straight Simple Green. Believe me it works. Then after they are all              dead, clean the area and spray the area with a peppermint spray.              Fill a spray bottle with water and add approximately 10 - 15 drops              of peppermint essential oil , sometimes called Peppermint Spirits
  
  Heat water to 160 to 170 degrees. Quietly sneak up to the mounds      of ants and pour the boiling water down the hole. 
        Note: I normally try to do this between 11am and 2 pm.

them and not hurt the thousands, well hundreds at least, of birds in my yard,  
plus the plants?
