Shake and Combine: Combine the dish soap, water, and white vinegar in a spray bottle. Toss in some peppermint essential oil. In addition to the vinegar’s inherent anti-ant properties, the dish soap dissolves the ant shells, and the peppermint oil further enhances the mixture’s efficacy. To ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly blended, give it a good shake.
Determine the entry points of the ants or the areas where you have noticed their tracks so you can spray them effectively. Distribute a generous amount of the mixture along these pathways, access points, and any other areas where ant colonies congregate. Always shake the bottle lightly before using to ensure that the components are well-mixed.
To completely obliterate the anthills and prevent their return, you may first have to apply the spray many times daily. Since the ants will eventually find a new home elsewhere, you won’t need to spray it as often.
