I was lied to. The interwebz told me with absolute certainty that ants hate citrus. With that knowledge, I loaded an arsenal of natural weapons. Namely, an orange-vinegar spray. And then what do I find? One of my children left part of an orange in the office garbage...and it was covered in ants. I shook the blasted thing and yelled, "Y'all aren't supposed to like oranges!" The proof was in the pudding, folks! So not only have the cats taunted me with my attempted hazelnut shell cure, but the ants are now mocking my orange remedies. Well played, pests. Well played!

Guess it was the sweet sticky juice they love! Ants love everything, even vinegar. Don't believe anything online that tells you otherwise!
