As gardening season kicks off, many are preparing their backyards for a flourishing display of plants. However, with the arrival of plants, pests are also finding their way in. One of the most common pests that gardeners face are ants. These tiny creatures are attracted to the garden as a source of food. Fortunately, there are natural ways to deter ants without using any chemicals.
TikTok user Anna (@annalanier2) recently shared her natural ant-repelling hack with her followers. In her video, Anna explained how she uses coffee and cloves to keep ants off of her plants. According to Anna, bugs and mosquitos hate the smell of coffee. Sprinkling it around the outside of the house can help keep them at bay. And the best part? It smells great too!
In a second clip, Anna demonstrated how ants react when cloves are placed in the flowerbed. She filmed the bugs inspecting the spice buds and then quickly avoiding them. Cloves have a strong scent that ants dislike, making them an effective natural repellent.
