The Sweet Spice You Should Place Near Windowsills. Here's Why
By TRINITY ARCHIE
If you want a natural, humane way to keep ants from invading your home, consider placing a few cinnamon sticks on your windowsills since these pests hate the spice’s strong smell.
First, clean your windowsills with a damp cloth to remove any potential food for ants that may have settled there, such as crumbs. Then, line the area with a few cinnamon sticks.
Cinnamon does not kill ants, so homeowners dealing with severe infestations might want to stick with conventional ant control methods, including calling in the professionals.
