Getting Rid of Ants the Natural Way

I came back to office to an ant-infested work station.

Apparently, the ziploc bag containing my chocolates and other tidbits had a hole which I did not notice earlier.

It was quite a task killing the ants with my mighty fingers and wet tissues (dry ones dont work).

And I must say, it wasn't a pleasant task.

And I have learnt today that scattering tea leaves help! I am not too sure why. Perhaps the acidity of tannin in tea leaves released makes ants uncomfortable?

Anway, what's important is that it worked!

Keeping ants away is one thing. KILLING them permanently is another!

Next, I will have to buy ant baits to ensure that the ants AND the queen ant are killed!
