Ants hate the smell of vinegar, making it a useful tool in the fight against these small creatures.

Since ants most often enter through windows and doors, I spray a solution of water and vinegar (2:1 ratio) on the window frames and front door frames. Ants avoid my house widely. Additionally, to get rid of insects that have already settled in my home, I spray this mixture in places where they appear, including kitchen countertops, furniture, and along baseboards.

Ants also dislike the smells of thyme, wormwood, lavender, mint, garlic, and parsley.
