Eliminate ants for good with a kitchen appliance that works “instantly” so they “don’t come back.”

A single ant in a home may be insignificant, but a large-scale infestation of these creatures causes household headaches that require urgent attention. Ants can sniff out scents emanating from houses and are attracted to smaller debris on the ground.

In some cases, the incentive for ants to invade homes is not to look for food, but rather to find a comfortable place to nest.

Due to the convenient location of nests, abundant food sources, and the warm, safe environment a home provides, these pests persist, a situation that is often exacerbated in the summer.

More often than not, however, it is the pantry raid that attracts ants inside, as they are opportunistic scavengers with a weakness for sweets.

Although chemical insecticides can reduce the ant population, Hinch, a lover of the clean feeling, recommended going the natural route and sprinkling baking soda on top.

In the Facebook group Mrs Hinch's Cleaning Tips and Tricks, one angry homeowner pleaded: "Help! I have ants in my house. Any recommendations to keep them at bay? I have a dog at home.

Mrs. Hinch enthusiasts swear that a pinch of baking soda can quickly eradicate an army of ants in the house.

Carla Edwards advised: "Sprinkling baking soda around the ant colony like a powdered insecticide will kill them quickly. »

And Liz Gorman said: "I bought them last year and bought cheap baking powder in Asda, it was only 65p. The ants take it back to the nest and it kills them.

Judy Neil noted, "Baking soda works very well. Just sprinkle a little where you think they will go.

Jessica Paine shared her success story: "Baking soda got rid of it straight away, it didn't affect my pets and they don't come back." »

Jackie Preston revealed her own advice: "I heard about using baking soda, so I left some at the front door where they came in and I haven't seen it since."

The experts at Midway Pest Management explain that baking soda is effective against ants because it "expands when exposed to water," which "can be fatal to small insects like ants."

It's important to note that baking soda is not a deterrent; rather, ants are attracted to it and congregate around it.

To make baking soda even more irresistible to ants, households can mix it with sugar, increasing its appeal to the ant colony.

Thanks to the ants' keen sense of smell, this sweet bait quickly attracts their attention, increasing the chance of hitting a larger number of ants.

Combining baking soda with any powdered sweetener can have the same effect and proves to be an effective homemade solution.
