Autumn is my favorite time of year.  Nature’s palette is ablaze with spectacular color, and breath- taking scenery.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! 🙂

It’s that time of year when the little brown creatures bring their their buddies into your house.  I have to draw the line, when they start showing up on my bathroom floor, kitchen counter, and oh yeah, SURPRISE…in the dishwasher!  Uggh! Regardless of everything you do to keep your house clean.  There they are.

I found this wonderful article “Rid your home of ants, without chemicals”, from my friend Chris over at Living Well Naturally, that I wanted to share with you.  The tips in the article are tried and true, and they really work.  The idea is to lure the ants out, the way they came in, with things you already have in your pantry.  Best of all, it’s cheap, it’s green, and it’s chemical free.

I was too late on getting this information to my husband, as he already had the person who treats our fruit trees (chemically free) come out and treat for ants.  He never did come indoors, but no more ants.  He will come back in 45 days just to be sure.

I sprinkled the Cinnamon by the front door, and put cut up strips of Bounce sheets in my pantry.  I’m so happy, to not see these little critters in my house anymore, especially in my kitchen.

It is my hope that you find this information useful and helpful.  By all means save yourself the money of having someone come out and do it for you.  Yes, there are companies that take care of the problem, and keep it “green.”  But, next time I see a little critter, I will be ahead of the game with this great information.

Special thanks to Chris for finding this.  We are working toward a better tomorrow, and many more to come!
