1. Baking soda is poisonous to ants, simply spinkle it around your plants to ensure ants stay well away.

2. Flour & Baby Powder will keep ants from reaching your plants, ants will not cross the powder – so circle your plants with it.

3. Coffee grounds, chili powder, cinnamon, peppermint or black pepper  all deter ants and if you pour coffee grounds directly on an anthill, they will eat the coffee grounds and implode.

4. Grits, instant rice & cream of wheat can be sprinkled around your plants.  The ants will eat a piece of whichever you sprinkle, drink water and the grain expands andthe ants will die.

5. Fill a spray bottle with 1 part vinegar and 1 part water and spray on plants. The acid in vinegar will kill the ants.
