ANTS AHHHH THEY WONT GO AWAY!
So fed up with the ants and I refuse to use chemicals to kill them, so I did some research and found some answers. Now the majority of my ants were in my dogs food inside the house and out. So I tried two suggestions one for each.
Inside the house - I drew a ring of barsoap around the dogs dish, its said that they wont cross the soap. Well it worked but only for a couple days, so I had to redraw the ring.
Outside the house - I put the dog food bowl floating inside a bigger bowl with water creating a "moat" - YAY it works. Just remember to refill the water
Eventually, I got tired of seeing the ring of soap around the dog dish in the house, so I took a scrub brush and washed the area entirely including the area where the ants were coming from. Its said if you wash with soap and water they loss track of their scent. So far so good.
Then....they started into everything else even my cube of butter on the sink. So I figured, surely theres an essential oil thats good for that, so I decided to mix some peppermint oil with water and spray in the hole where the ants were coming out and WHHHAAA LAAA again!
Who needs chemicals - NOT I!
