Can't sleep

Plain ground cinnamon works great to deter them. I use it in the garage, and they hate the stuff. I usually sprinkle a little baking soda in with it, just in case they feel like taking something back to the nest and killing the rest of them.

Moxiecollies had a terrible sugar ant problem. We used some spray that had cinnamon and spearmint oil. It smelled AWESOME. And it was insta-ant doom. Muahahaha. I'll ask her what the brand was called.

As a bonus, mice don't like mint either. Not that you've seen any, but with all the other problems it doesn't hurt for stuff to serve double duty.

My husband got some of the Terro liquid ant traps earlier. Is it bad that I'm amused watching the ants all race to get in the traps? There were a TON more when I got home so we just set up the traps and now I'm waiting to watch them die. I'm glad I know about cinnamon now though. I would have never known that works. After we get rid of them would keeping a little cinnamon over by where they are coming from under the baseboard work as a deterrant from further ant issues?
