A Safe Way To Get Rid Of Annoying Ants

I don't know about you but I am very spoiled using the Shaklee cleaners. I didn't realize how spoiled until last week when my house seemed to turn in to an ant village. Your body gets used to the fact that there should not be a smell with cleaners very fast. I unfortunately had to break out the horrible ant spray for my garage and I could not handle the smell. It was horrible. I could taste it in my mouth.

Of course immediately before I even sprayed it the 1st time I was horrified that I was about to spray this in my garage. My goodness my kids would be coming out here. So I did the inevitable and sprayed what I had to but immediately started looking for a safer alternative. I couldn't handle the spray so I can only imagine how it would effect my children.
I knew that Basic H2 regular mixed cleaning solution would kill the ants, but I needed to stop them from coming in the house.

The good news is I found a way!! Straight lemon. Go to the store and buy some lemons, get the juice out and put it in to a spray bottle. I actually just took the spray bottle that my cleaning solution was mixed in and dumped that in to my yard because I knew it would green up the yard a lot and it only takes 2 drops of Basic H2 to mix another bottle.
I put the lemon in it and no ants. So there is a tip of the day for you:)
