Preventing Ants with Herbal RemediesAnts are very common and very bothersome.
Ants are very common and very bothersome. They use wall crevices, grills, and windowpanes to enter your home in search of food and moisture. You can have ants in your home no matter how clean it may be. Ants will usually travel in larger numbers, and continue to enter your home no matter what you use to eliminate them. The key is to use a safe and effective method that can be continuously in place. Using Herbs to Deter Ants 1. Tansy Leaves
A tansy tree can be planted around the homes base. It will not grow taller than three feet and not disturb other plants. An odor which repels ants is released by the tansy tree leaves. It is best to plant your tansy trees near entrances and below windows. Those who live in apartments can place fresh or dried tansy leaves around likely areas of entry for ants. 2. Sage and Black Walnut Leaves
Place these dried leaves around all the possible points of entry that ants could use to come into your home. They can be a very effective deterrent. 3. Southernwood Branch
Not only to these branches deter ants, but also a host of other insects as well. Good places to keep southernwood branches are near trash bins, in cupboards, and in your pantry. 4. Calamus
This herb can often be found near steams and lakes. It is often used in Asian countries to deter ants. The plant smells like lemon juice and contains thick rhizomes. These rhizomes, once extracted and dried, can be an even more powerful ant treatment than the plant itself. You can stop ants from entering the home by wrapping the rhizomes with paper and placing them near trash bins and in cupboards which contain food.
