Ants nesting in the corners of the house are indeed very annoying. Because, if there is food on the table, the ants can come and contaminate the food. On the other hand, the presence of ants is also considered disturbing because there are a number of ant species that can bite the skin and cause allergies.
Usually, people choose to repel ants by spraying special insect repellent. However, sometimes this method is still not effective enough. Well, the owner of the YouTube account IDE KREATIF CHANNEL has another way that you can imitate at home.
In one of his uploaded videos, the channel owner explained that he has a way to make an ant-killing potion that only uses two kitchen spices . According to him, this method is very effective in driving ants out of the house.

Well, before spraying the concoction that has been made, you can sprinkle granulated sugar into the area around the ant's hiding place first. In addition to sugar, you can also use other sweet foods that are liked by ants. "You can also use brown sugar, to lure all the ants out," said the owner of the YouTube account IDE KREATIF CHANNEL, quoted by BrilioFood on Monday (19/8).

After all the ants are out, immediately spray the pepper and salt concoction that has been made. The owner of the YouTube account IDE KREATIF CHANNEL said that ants do not like the taste and aroma of the two spices that have been mixed, so over time the ants will leave the house on their own.
