To keep ants away without using harmful chemicals, you can try some natural methods:
1. **Vinegar Solution**: Wipe down surfaces with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Ants dislike the smell and will avoid it.
2. **Lemon Juice**: Similar to vinegar, lemon juice can disrupt ant trails and deter them. Spray lemon juice around the area where you are stored.
3. **Cinnamon or Cloves**: Sprinkle ground cinnamon or place whole cloves near where the ants are entering. These spices can act as natural repellents.
4. **Peppermint Oil**: Ants are repelled by the strong scent of peppermint. Mix a few drops of peppermint essential oil with water and spray it around your storage area.
5. **Seal and Store Properly**: Ensure that you are stored in an airtight container or tightly wrapped to prevent ants from getting to you.
Using these natural methods can help keep ants away without turning you into something harmful.
