Safe and Effective Ant Spray

Ants are out in full force now that summer has arrived. Unfortunately those little buggers are also searching our houses for food. While many of us hate the thought of spraying insecticides in our house, or bombing our house with terrible chemicals, having ants marching through your entire dwelling can cause you to rethink it.
While reading I came across this simple 90% effective solution.

Fill a spray bottle with 3 tablespoons of liquid detergent soap and water. Spray directly on the ants. It dries them up almost instantly. Spray all the areas you see them, and where you may think they are coming into your house. If your lucky enough to find their nest, pour two gallons of boiling water mixed with 1 cup liquid detergent down the hole of their home. That particular nest will be no more.

For the next few weeks you will have to keep a spray bottle handy and spray out any scout ants, but it will be a lot easier and a lot less costly to our environment.
