Pet safe way to get rid of ANTS!!!

Ugh there's nothing worse than having ants.Its kinda tricky getting rid of them when you have a pet. you don't want to use regular ant sprays or pay for those " natural bug sprays" that don't do Bleep. This is an effective way I found to get rid of them for cheap.

👍Pros : it really works

doesn't have that lingering chemical smell

safe to use around pets

Additional Tips: I would add some peppermint essential oil

* you can also dawn power wash

📚

Quick storytime

I learned the hard cleaning with regular ant spray with a curious cat who licks everything. She passed by me so fast and licked some and instantly had a reaction. That vet bill was crazy we both learned that day .

... Read moreDealing with ants can be a distressing experience, especially for pet owners looking for safe solutions. If you're searching for pet-friendly ways to manage ant infestations, consider employing essential oils such as peppermint. This natural repellent not only keeps ants at bay but also offers a pleasant aroma without harmful chemicals. Additionally, cleaning entry points like windows, doors, and sinks can minimize access for ants. Using a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and dish soap can be an effective method. Just a few drops mixed with paper towels can help wipe down surfaces where ants tend to gather, creating an inhospitable environment for them. Remember, it's important to monitor your pets during cleaning to ensure they don't ingest any cleaning solutions inadvertently, which is a common concern for pet owners. Sharing your experiences and solutions can also benefit others in the Lemon8 community, so don’t hesitate to post your hacks and findings. Let's create a safe, ant-free space for our furry friends to thrive!
