Ants are pentrating many a kitchen this summer. We noticed them coming from
the
window and I tried boric acid and baking soda. This helped, that,and keeping
the
window tightly closed.
I got lucky though. While at the health food store I happened to mention the
ants.
The clerk asked if I had ever tried dried calendula, and of course I hadn't.
I purchased
a small amount and voila! that took care of the ants. They hate It!
Also in a garden book it suggests taking a spray bottle with spearmint and
water to
spray entry areas. I did get some dried spearmint also and may check this out
also. Hope this helps.
