Eliminate Ants Without Killing Them

To resort to a natural repellent to keep the ants away is useful when a full invasion has not yet occurred or is small in size.

If the small creatures have infiltrated one or more rooms, however, it may be necessary to resort to more decisive methods.

However, do not worry, running out to buy chemical and toxic products is not an option! What you need is a bit of vinegar and some baby powder!

To get rid of the stubborn presence of ants, start by washing the floor with a mix of water and vinegar (or adding some drops of essential lemon oil to the water). As a matter of fact, strong odors bother these small insects and they will start to stay away. 

Next, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder in the corners of the walls in the affected rooms. Perhaps a few ants will be killed but you will not commit a massacre. The others will leave the area in a short amount of time.
