How to Get Rid of Ants Naturally
http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Rid-of-Ants-Naturally
With over 12,000 species of ants in the world,[1] only a small handful of them insist on invading our homes in search of something tasty from either the sweet foods or flesh and greasy foods.[2] Ants commonly found indoors include the Argentine ant, the pharaoh ant, the thief or grease ant, the pavement ant and the odorous house ant.[3] And if you're really unlucky, you might have the carpenter ant, an ant insistent on destroying the wood that holds up your house, so get professional help fast in that case!
However, it would be unbalanced to see ants as bad on the whole. Most of the things ants do are good for us and the environment, including eating the larvae of fleas, spiders, bed bugs, flies, silverfish and clothes moths.[4] From that point of view, aiming to control them and prevent them from accessing your food is a better approach than seeking to completely eliminate them and natural approaches are best for this purpose. For the ants you need to control, there are some very easy, natural and effective natural methods to either ward off or remove ants from your home areas. ---CONTINUED---
