Some of you may recall my discussion about ants last month. Day by day they are increasing in number, I have done all the natural remedies, vinegar, salt, turmeric but nothing acted as a permanent solution. I even kept food for them outside places but no interest shown by them.
If I made chapatti in morning then keep the leftovers covering properly, by evening it is covered with lots of ants. I even put some water in a pan then kept the chappti pan in that water, still they are succeed to get over the food. (really smart)
Finally yesterday night, we bought a chalk, which is used for killing cockroaches, but it works for ants as well. I think I will be successful with this remedy.
I tried my best for not killing them. At the same time, there is no fun to see the food items filled with millions of ants. It made me annoyed.
Are you annoyed on anything?

Yes, am annoyed because they bite so painfully. I also place some salt or baking soda to prevent them from attacking my cat food in the container.

@acelawrites , ants are numerous they easily multiply in multiple times. Fortunately, there are no ants at home. I clean the areas in tiles with xonrox.

It's annoying to see ants in your food. But they can be controlled.

I hope you have managed to keep the ants away. For me its cockroaches that annoy and scare me. I have the cockroach spray handy at home and ensure I buy a new one before this gets over just incase I see a cockroach staring at me from somewhere at home.

For cockroaches, there is a gel available which works wonderfully. In our earlier home plenty of cockroaches and I avoided them keeping the gel placing the underneath of kitchen slabs. It costs around Rs. 150 but it works very good than spray. The spray smell will disturb.
