This handy hack won’t break the bank, and helps to keepsuch as ants out of your.
If the pesky bugs are left to roam, they can soon become a colony of potentially thousands in a short period of time.
Pest control visits can be effective but pricey, so most homeowners will be happy to hear that there is a cheap and natural remedy to swat away the insects.
“Lemon juice is a brilliant natural ant repellent,”; Glen Peskett, DIY expert at Saxton Blades, revealed.
“The strong citrus scent disrupts their scent trails, and the acidity interferes with the pheromones they use to navigate.
“Just squeeze fresh lemon juice around door frames, windowsills, or anywhere you’ve seen ants coming in.”;
Alternatively, simply slice a fresh lemon and squeeze the juice into a small bowl or directly onto a cloth or cotton pad.
Then, wipe the juice around known entry points such as cracks, windowsills, doorframes, skirting boards, and under sinks.
Glenn adds that making sure little entry points within your home are sealed off can ensure the bugs don’t squeeze through.
“If you’re into DIY, creating a barrier is a great long-term fix,”; he said.
“For example, you can cut mesh screens to size using a sharp Stanley knife, perfect for covering vents or air bricks where ants might sneak in.”;
