3. Lemon
You don’t need insecticides or ant traps to protect your kitchen from ants. You just have to treat them with lemon. First, drizz up some lemon juice on the doorsteps and on the windowsills. Then squeeze the lemon juice into the holes or cracks where the ants are coming in. Finally, spread small slices of lemon zest around the outer entrance.
You can also wash your floors with water that additionally has some lemon juice. Apparently, ants hate the smell of lemon juice, so they stay away. Anything sour and bitter can keep ants away, but sugar is the best friend of ants. So make sure you don’t keep anything sweet that might attract ants one way or another. Keep your kitchen sn towel absolutely clean and place the shells correctly.
