Indoors, if the little buggers are coming in- find the spot they are entering and plug it with any brand of white mint toothpaste! The detergent in it upsets their tummies, they hate mint, and the abrasive does a job on their jaws! They absolutely will NOT chew through it!

Outdoors, folks used to plant pennyroyal, a member of the mint family by their doors to discourage ants from entering. Any large nursery should have it with the herbs. Lastly, gather up all those cigarette butts and make some nasty "tea". Pour it down the ant hole. Sends them into convulsions!- Granny:hippy:
Storm Crow Reviewed by Storm Crow on . Cinnamon keeps ants out? I just read that cinnamon repels ants in the garden, anyone ever try this? Just put some down on my corn that I'm growin to test it out cause it had some red ants takin from my soil. I just simply sprinkled it on the top of the soil, and watered it. Anyone know how to get rid of these pesty colonies another way? Rating: 5
