Okay. So I have a friend that has a bit of an ant problem in her apartment.

So, I took it upon myself to research some eco-friendly ways to rid her place of those pesky little critters. I came across a blog post on broomhuggers.com's website that seemed interesting. Note I have not tried these home remedies, but I will soon because it's around that time of year where they find their way into my own home!

So here are a few natural remedies that are 100% safe for people, pets, and planet.

1.Cornmeal. Leave small piles where the ants come. It’ll keep them away for about 2 weeks until their cousins return, but yes – it kills them. So, if you have issues with killing ants keep reading.

2.Vinegar. It is a natural ant repellent. Put some in a spray bottle and spray where you see the little buggers.

3.Chalk. Draw a line and the ants won’t cross it.

4.Pepper – cayenne or black. Sprinkle some wherever ants are coming in, and they will stop coming. Just remember to re-sprinkle after you sweep or mop!

5.Cinnamon. Just like pepper for whatever reason, ants don’t do cinnamon.
