How to Prepare:
- Mix the Ingredients: Combine the ground cloves with 1 cup of water in a small pot. If using essential oil, add 4–5 drops for enhanced potency.
- Simmer: Heat the mixture on low for 5–10 minutes to infuse the water with the clove’s active compounds.
- Strain and Cool: Let the mixture cool, then strain out the clove particles to get a smooth liquid.
- Transfer to a Spray Bottle: Pour the liquid into a spray bottle for easy application.
How to Use:
- Locate the Ant Trails: Identify where ants are entering your home and their common pathways.
- Spray the Mixture: Generously spray the clove solution along ant trails, entry points, and areas where you’ve seen ant activity.
- Repeat as Needed: Reapply every few days or after cleaning to maintain effectiveness.
Bonus Tip: Ground Clove Barrier
For extra protection, sprinkle ground cloves directly near entry points, like windowsills, doorways, or cracks in the wall. Ants will avoid crossing the clove-scented areas.
