In a case of life imitating art, we have had a terrible ant infestation at our house lately. So we called the exterminators. Like last time, the ants got worse for a couple days before going away. Makes me wish it was an aunt infestation.
We actually tried this home remedy at our house. All it accomplished was that the ants did avoid the mint. Didn’t get rid of them, but they sure made a highway around the mint!
