Have Ants?
Smear a line of peppermint or spearmint oil across your kitchen counter or floor and the ants won't cross it. If you already have a line of ants invading your house, just draw a line of oil across them and they will leave.

If you can find exactly where they're gaining entrance into you home, that would be the best place to apply the oil. Cayenne pepper sprinkled where they enter will also work to keep them from entering.

If you have a diffuser, you can diffuse peppermint in the room.




Flies
Mix a couple of drops of peppermint or spearmint oil with water in a spray bottle and kill them in mid-air!




Termite Treatment - also works for carpenter ants
This is a whole outside perimeter of your home treatment.

Two bottles each of Abundance Oil, Thieves Oil, Clove Oil, Cinnamon Oil, Purification Oil, Lemon Oil, and Lemongrass Oil - and a large bottle of V6. Combine into a large spray bottle and spray around the perimeter of the house, doorsteps, and anywhere that termites or carpenter ants might hide.
