RE: The Ants Come Marching and How You Can Put A Stop To It!
Thank you so much for this excellent article. I'm very happy you alerted me to it when you visited my blog, and also delighted to give it the most powerful up vote that I could during its "rewards window" period.
😄😇😄
Thank you creatr! Knowing something I've written has been helpful really makes my day! Hopefully, now you'll be able to get some sleep without those pesky little invaders.
I appreciate you too! :)
We have other good "indoor spray remedies," but they are all commercial and quite costly.
Things that have worked well include a soybean oil preparation, and also a mint oil preparation. Both of those are non-toxic, but cost a lot in commercial pressurized or pump spray bottles. Also, they leave a messy residue.
I'm looking forward to trying the isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle because it is relatively quite inexpensive. Can you tell me what percentage solution has worked for you? Recently in the U.S. they have been "watering down" the alcohol to a considerably lower concentration than used to be readily available over the counter...
75 percent should work fine, that's what I used. Interesting they're watering it down in the U.S. I wonder why. At least it's still relatively inexpensive there, unlike here in UK, where it's the equivalent of about 5USD/bottle. Hard to find here as well. I have to go to Amazon UK because it's not available in pharmacies or supermarkets. Weird! I had a problem with adulterated product too but finally managed to find a reliable supplier.
Thanks for the additional feedback!
