Surprising and Unexpected Uses for Salt

Block Ants From Entering Your Home

Sadly, a lot of homeowners have to deal with ants in their property at some time or another, especially in the warm summer months when ants are drawn inside through open windows or gaps under doors, attracted to sweet smells from inside the home. Dealing with them can be incredibly difficult, and even the best ant-busting products sometimes fail to eliminate an infestation, so why not make use of salt instead?

Ants, like a lot of other bugs and creepy crawlies, absolutely hate salt. If they see it, they’ll steer clear of it. Many homeowners have used this to their advantage, sprinkling lines of salt along doors and windows to act as a barrier against ants. If you place some salt along your doors, skirting boards, or anywhere else ants are likely to roam, you can stop them getting into your place.
