Also I heard they do not like cucumber peels..it keeps them away..haven't tried it..growing mint on the outside of your home deters them from entering..Are they tiny ants or the big black carpenter type ants?? We had the big black carpenter ants. They were coming in under the sliding glass door track up the wall and out the light socket...I took the light socket cover off and squirted some ant gel along side the socket and under the sliding glass door tracks the gel has canteloupe smell to it..Carpenter ants like canteloupe and they took it back to the nest I guess and have not seen once since...We fount it at Walmarts..LisaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476106116117964270noreply@blogger.com
