- Cinnamon deters ants
Ants don’t like strong odors, especially the smell of cinnamon. Coat cotton balls with cinnamon powder or cinnamon essential oil and place the balls in areas where ants are likely to enter, such as near windowsills and door frames.

- Seal cracks and crevices
Ants enter the house from the outside through cracks and crevices. Use caulk around the house to seal cracks and holes where ants can enter.
