Eliminate ants with vinegar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mix 150 ml of vinegar with 150 ml of water. Dip a cloth in the solution and wipe down any surfaces frequented by ants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This operation will interrupt the activity of the ants, as it is able to erase the traces they follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Water against ants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make holes around the anthill or place containers that can create a sticky barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To create it, mix soap and water in the container or in the hole, add a few pieces of lemon or orange peel. This will prevent ants from being able to move away from the anthill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Remove anthills with rice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blend 200 grams of brown rice until it becomes powdered. Place it in a perforated plastic bag, then scatter a small amount around the anthill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal of this method is to attract ants to bring fragments of rice into the anthill. Over time, the rice will dry out and absorb moisture in the anthill, making it impossible for new ants to hatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that you know how to <strong>remove anthills and ants from the garden<\/strong>, try applying the methods listed above to avoid using chemicals and creating damage to the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Share article<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Important: This website does not give medical advice, nor does it suggest the use of techniques as a form of treatment for physical problems, for which medical advice is required.
