Combine and Shake: Pour the white vinegar, water, and dish soap into a spray bottle. If you're opting for peppermint essential oil, add it now. The combination of vinegar as a deterrent, dish soap to compromise the ants' protective layer, and peppermint oil for added repellence makes for a potent mix. Shake the bottle well to blend everything smoothly.
Identify and Apply: Locate the ants' entry points or trails within your home. Liberally spray your concoction over these areas, ensuring you shake the bottle lightly before each use for consistent potency.
Maintain Defense: At the outset, you might find yourself applying the spray multiple times throughout the day to effectively erase scent trails and keep ants at bay. As time progresses, their numbers will dwindle, reducing the need for frequent applications.
