It's that time of year again; the ants come marching in.
Here are some things you may want to try before reaching for that can of insecticide.
- Pour lemon juice around areas ants frequent.
- Baking soda can deter ants; pour a solid line in areas of activity and they won't cross it.
- A ring of coffee grounds around sensitive plants can discourage ants.
