Let steep for an hour or so, then strain and put into spray bottle. Spray liberally inside and outside every couple of days during the worst part of the season, then every few days (twice a week). Spray along the back floor wall of kitchen cabinets (especially the sink) and under stove, fridge, etc. Spray along the foundation of the house making sure that you wet a line (no breaks) so that the ants can't find a place to cross over. *For the peels, squeeze them towards the vinegar to get the oils into the mix for better results, then drop the peel into the vinegar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25944903.post-52989918700819407912011-11-20T11:24:37.040-08:002011-11-20T11:24:37.040-08:00Once you chase them out, you can spray really dilu...Once you chase them out, you can spray really diluted Dr. Bronners all around the windows and everywhere. If you want to steep cinnamon and other spicy things to spray instead, that might work. My cat didn't have any bad effects from the Dr. Bronners, but he didn't hang out in the sprayed areas much after.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
