Natural Solution to Our Ant Problem

It's a lazy Sunday afternoon here...everyone is napping now before some of our well loved friends arrive for a visit. But I thought I'd take a moment to post that our ants are gone! I received so many wonderful tips and ideas as to how get rid of them - thanks! Let me tell you what I ended up doing...it was so simple!

There are a lot of things, it seems, that ants just don't like, and citrus is one of them! So I just sprayed a cloth with some Orange Glow (it's a wood cleaner that contains natural orange oil...you can find it at Wal-mart) and wiped down all the cabinets and countertops. It's funny, the next day I saw a few ants congregating in one spot that I missed (a corner of the crown moulding) - but they wouldn't go anywhere near where I had cleaned with the Orange Glo. So I hit that area (it kills on contact) and now they are nowhere to be found. It smells so nice, plus it cleans really well...so I was able to get rid of the ants, add a nice clean glow to our cabinets, and deodorize the kitchen in one fell swoop! Sure beats using Raid!
