I get emails from about.com on interesting subjects. A few days ago I got one on how to rid yourself of ants. Most of the items they listed I already knew about but there are a couple I wasn't aware of. I thought I would share this article with you all so you can be updated as I was.
Here are six proven home remedies for ants. Use them to get rid of ants without a call to the exterminator.

Didn't know all of those. We do have an ant problem here and maybe some of this will help.

Cucumber? I wonder if this works on my moringa tree. I've tried one option before but it didn't work.

Cucumber seems to have the same smell to it that the stuff the ants don't like so if that is the same with the tree it will probably work.

I hate ants, ant bites give me blisters and certain ant bites give me hives

SOme are sensitive to certain bug bites and some aren't. Is there something that helps to put on it?

I tried the water plus vinegar one. We had so many ants this summer it gets annoying. It worked.
I also tried sprinkling of curry powder along their path.it worked too.

I always used different stuff in different areas. Kept things washed down with the vinegar and then used cinnamon right where they came in. And the used coffee grounds worked too.
