The Ants Go Marching...

We live on an ant hill. There's no denying it. We have been doing everything imaginable to convince them to build their empire elsewhere. Several days ago the little man and I had a some fun with our tiny friends. They had invaded the snack cupboard...not a good place to find ants! So we decided to try a little experiment. Since we're now dealing with food, and the place I put my food I didn't feel like I could go for the chemical bug killers, or even conventional cleaners. Fortunately I had my oils on hand. So we took a little coconut oil and added a little blend called Purify. I put a couple drops of lemon oil in the mixture too. Then I took the oils and drew a circle around a few ants...they wouldn't leave the circle...a good sign. We created mazes and watched the ants walk between our invisible walls. We played with those dear little creatures until we were done, then wipped down the cupboard with the oils. They haven't been back.
