Tip 6: White Vinegar To Deter Ants
Most ants are human-friendly, and you will often see them where there is a lot of sugar and food. However, some ants can be dangerous, and their bites can leave you and your pet itching with bruises.
Have you ever thought about why ants move in a straight line? Even if you try to break this line, they eventually begin again, forming the same straight line called trails. This phenomenon is due to the release of pheromones, a chemical released by the ants that causes them to communicate and move towards their target food. Sprinkling white vinegar will disrupt this communication signal, and you will see fewer or no ants at all. To make this natural vinegar solution, mix some water, vinegar, and a few tsp. of eucalyptus oil to eliminate these pests.
Tip 7: Apple Cider Vinegar For Fruit Flies
Fruit flies will be anywhere where there are fruits and sugary stuff. However, do not let them invade your house by using apple cider vinegar, a natural fruit fly repellent that keeps their numbers at bay. To trap these fruit flies, pour apple cider vinegar into a bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Next, punch in some small holes and keep this bowl close to your fruits on the table or in places where fruit flies are very evident. The fruit flies will be attracted to the fruity smell of the vinegar and will dip into it through the holes. However, once in, they will not be able to evade out.
