Why Kill the Ants: Organic Solution!

Problem: Ants making a beeline (literally speaking) into the kitchen/house.

Ingredients: Vegetable oil, Vegetable oil, Vegetable oil!
or
any non-toxic cooking oil

Amount: A touch of finger tip
or
a drop
or
as much as you need (which would be no more than
a table spoon)

Fact: Ants follow one another's trail scent
(& yes, touch-tone antennas!)

Procedure: Find where the ants are coming from (usually
kitchen sink windows/french windows) and
use VEGETABLE OIL streaks across their trail.
Yes, just like check points across along their path.

(Optional Step: If you are interested, just watch!)

Expected (based on my observed) Results:
The ants will get confused and disperse!!!
(Don't take credit now... It's not because you are watching)

Rationale/Explanation: It is because the scented track is
interrupted and the ants cannot trace their colleagues'
scent trail...

Comments: Problem solved organic way--
An organic Solution!
Yes, pun intended!

Works for me every time!!!
I mean not the pun... the organic solution to not killing ants
and sending them away in search of better
and more welcoming sources!

Strong Measures: If too many ants...
wipe off along the whole trail with Oil again.
They would not be able to trace the path at all
and go somewhere else.

Note:
Make sure "the somewhere else" is not inside the house.
This is why it helps to locate where they are entering
from/through, etc.

Good Luck and let me know whether it worked!!!

*Lesson of the Day:
Oil is disruptive to hard work, peaceful heartfelt....
communication and team effort!!!

Did I forget to mention it applies to the ant world?
Never mind... they live in our world anyway!
