When the Ants Come Marching In

Got an ant problem? Believe it or not, you don’t have to rely on toxic chemicals to get rid of the little pests. There’s a great natural repellant: cinnamon. Turns out ants hate it. Generously sprinkle the spice in the spot where the ants are getting into the house. And if you see the little vermin crawling around, sprinkle some cinnamon on them too. If they return to the nest smelling cinnalicious, it will deter other ants from trying the same path.
