I just added another green weapon to my arsenal for the ongoing war against ants. Ants will flee from the smell of white vinegar and it also breaks up the sent trails that they follow. If you’re like me, you’ve got a spray bottle filled with white vinegar for its numerous uses. If a trail of ants has found its way into your home, spray them with the vinegar and then just wipe them up. In addition to taking out the ants and destroying their sent trail in a green way, you’re also cleaning.
