Ants & Your Home
Understanding what makes ants tick can be very helpful when you are facing an infestation. These tricky creatures can be difficult to get rid of on your own, but with a professional by your side, you will be able to enjoy an ant-free home in no time.
It is important to know what kind of ants can invade your home. Below, we have included a list of different types of ants that can be found across Southern California:
- Argentine ant
- Carpenter ant
- Harvester ant

Scents That Can Repel Ants
Ants are fascinating insects that play significant roles in ecosystems, but they can become quite a nuisance when they invade homes and gardens. Certain scents are known to repel ants due to their sensitivity to smell and chemical cues. If you're looking for natural ways to keep ants at bay, consider these scents that ants tend to dislike:
- Peppermint: The strong and refreshing scent of peppermint oil is known to deter ants. Placing cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil along entry points can help keep them away.
- Citrus: Ants dislike the smell of citrus fruits like lemon, orange, and grapefruit. Using citrus-scented cleaners or placing citrus peels near ant-prone areas can be effective.
- Vinegar: The pungent odor of vinegar disrupts ants' scent trails, making them lose their way. A solution of vinegar and water can be sprayed on countertops and floors.
- Cinnamon: Cinnamon has a strong aroma that ants avoid. Sprinkling ground cinnamon near ant access points can discourage their entry.
- Tea Tree Oil: This essential oil has potent antimicrobial properties and an aroma that ants find unappealing. Mixing a few drops of tea tree oil with water and spraying it around can create a barrier.
- Cucumber: Bitter compounds in cucumber peels repel ants. Placing cucumber slices near ant pathways might prevent them from advancing.
While these scents can help deter ants, it's important to note that results may vary based on the ant species and the severity of the infestation. For persistent problems, consulting with pest control professionals might be necessary. By using these natural repellent scents strategically, you can reduce the likelihood of ants invading your living spaces.
