2. Lemon Juice
Why it works:
Acidic lemon juice erases scent trails and acts as a natural repellent.

3. Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade)
Why it works:
Diatomaceous earth (DE) is made from fossilized algae. Its tiny sharp particles damage ants’ exoskeletons, causing dehydration and death.
How to use:
- Sprinkle DE along ant trails, entry points, and near nests
- Reapply after rain or cleaning
Benefits: Non-toxic, long-lasting, and effective against multiple pests.
