I%26#039;ve read about peppermint oil but I%26#039;m very doubtful that it will do anything. I must have mutated bionic ants or something. HELP!!!! They got in my bed and I woke with 4 bite marks. OUCH!!!!!!!
I need something tried and true AND NATURAL. Apparently borax isn%26#039;t natural so I can%26#039;t try that.
PLEASE GIVE SOMETHING THAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU. Because I can use Google and that%26#039;s how I found out about the above and it just plain doesn%26#039;t work,.
Thank you.

You may not believe it because it seems so easy but the best thing I have used is soap. You take some dishwashing soap and mix it with water (probably 50 parts water, 1 part soap) and put in a sprayer. When the droplets hit the ant, it covers it in a film that prevents it from breathing and they stop instantly in their tracks. It has the added benefit of cleaning their scent trails preventing them from finding their way to food
Good luck. -
Hi there. I am not sure if this is natural enough for you, but I always use Johnson%26#039;s Baby Powder and it works. If you sprinkle it the ants will not cross the line of powder and it does not kill them. Good luck!
