How Do I Deal with Ants in the House? Eight Ways to Discourage Them

An excellent ant repellant. All you have to do to stop the ants from migrating is to spray water and vinegar or water and soap in the area they frequent.

7. BLACK SOAP

Black soap is an all-purpose product that works well in the yard and at home since it repels ants, mealybugs, and even aphids. In order to get rid of ants for good, you have to dilute the black soap in boiling water using the amount that the manufacturer specifies right on the package. The ant colony or nest should next be covered with this still very hot mixture.

8. SPRINKLE EARTH DIATOMEA

This thin white powder is an efficient and natural pesticide made from fossilized micro-algae fossils. Don’t be afraid to sprinkle a small bit where ants go around your property. Their injuries from the sharp diatomaceous earth particles will be lethal. However, please be aware that this product is safe for dogs to use and may be used with only your hands.
