Say Bye To Pesky Ants With The
Help Of
Baby Powder, Here's How
By DANIEL FEININGER
Ants enter homes in search of food or a new place to cultivate a growing habitat for the colony. To discourage them from arriving at your place, all you need is baby powder.
These pests usually enter your home following the trail of pheromones laid by other ants from their colony to the food source inside. Baby powder helps you block their path.
Sprinkling baby powder along their trail or at any of their entrance points will likely deter the ants because they don't like the feel of the powder and would prefer to avoid it.
Baby powder will not actually kill ants but only keep them away from your home. You will also need to reapply the powder regularly, especially if the area gets wet.
