How Do You Get Rid Of Ants Using Eucalyptus?
Ants are a household pest that can be hazardous and a huge nuisance. Ants typically can’t stand pungent smells such as cinnamon, eucalyptus, black pepper and peppermint essential oils. Use some eucalyptus essential oil mixed with water to get rid of ants inside and outside of your household or garden. Mix 20 drops of eucalyptus essential oil per 2 cups of water. Place this mixture in a spray bottle. Spray this mixture anywhere you have an ant problem. You can spray it along such things as counters, doorways, garden paths and front stoops. Also, it is beneficial to locate the main ant next and douse the nest with the eucalyptus/water mixture. It will deter the ants from living there, making them move on. Spray this mixture often, at least a couple times a week until you notice your ant problem has stopped.
