Woman's cheap and easy way to get rid of ants using little-known baby product

Despite their small size, ants can cause significant damage to your home, gnawing through wood and burrowing into door and window frames. Ignoring the issue could lead to an infestation that is expensive to eradicate.

A woman named Judith shared on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook page that her neighbour's kitchen was overrun with ants. She asked, "I've given her white vinegar but is there anything else she can do? ".Most users praised the use of talcum powder, originally intended to protect babies' skin from rubbing and chafing, claiming it works 'better' than strong ant killers.

Meanwhile, a fourth shared their own method: "Baby powder. They hate crossing a white line right around the door and house they don't come in... I haven't had any for years in the house but I know my garden is full of them." If you're looking for other things to try out, don't fret. John Stewart, part of the technical team at Pelsis, also recommends sprinkling cinnamon or black pepper along any 'ant trails and entry' points. He suggests this can 'disrupt their scent trails and discourage them from entering the home'.
