It can be frustrating to see ants running around your home, however, a colony of ants can actually cause a lot of damage, and it’s pretty unhygienic to have ants inside your home.
Here’s how you can get rid of ants permanently and safely, according to NDTV Food!
#1 Lemons, Oranges

Squeeze some lemon juice or leave lemon peels in places from where the ants enter your home. You can even wipe or mop the area with water mixed with some lemon juice in it because apparently, ants don’t like the smell of lemon juice.
Oranges are the same with lemons! They keep ants away from visiting your home.
#2 Salt

Spreading salt in the corners from where the ants enter your home will keep them away. This is the cheapest and most natural way you can get rid of the ants!
Just use the ordinary table salt. You can even boil some water and add a large amount of salt into it, and stir until it dissolves. After that, just transfer your salt water concoction into a spray bottle and spray where you think ants tend to enter from.
#3 White Vinegar

Okay, we believe this one… even some humans can’t stand the smell of vinegar, and apparently ants hate it, too!
Prepare a solution of 50% water and 50% white vinegar and shake well! You can store the solution as a spray bottle and spray the area where ants tend to enter your home, and do it daily! Though this trick won’t kill the ants, it will definitely keep them away!
Say bye-bye to those pesky ants! Try them out and let us know if it works!
