    Ants are really a problem in monsoons. They are just everywhere and in my case they seems to create a nuisance. I have seen ants lining up my living room and on trailing them, found them to a crack or crevice in the wall. I do not know how can they manage to crack up a wall. I tried to plug in the cracks but still somehow the ants seem to get in by making another crack. Sometimes when I am too much annoyed, I just spray an insecticide but this is only a temporary measure.

    I have used powdered borax in cracks and crevices in my place when ants burrowed in around creating a large complex. Clove and garlic work well but for a larger area, they are not as effective. Moreover it is difficult to use them in living room cos of the strong smell. The best remedy that I have found is that I place white vinegar or apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle and spray on areas where you have seen ants. The fungicidal and insecticidal properties in the vinegar help prevent ants.

    I tried using the vinegar remedy and it really works. It is excellent and does not even cost a bomb. But I wanted to know how to get ants out of food items. During monsoons,. however hard we try to prevent but some ants do come up in food items. I am finding it difficult to get rid of them.
