Repellant Pepper
On any given day, you may see hordes of ants, marching into your home. They may be searching for food and water, shelter from outside elements.
Here are some steps you can take to get rid of these industrious creatures.
- Follow the ant to its source of entry, could be a window, molding crevice or floor crack.
- With Boric acid, form a barrier at the source, or use laundry detergent, must be in powder form.
- If they have attacked any food, remove it to a garbage container, outside your home.
- If they have invaded your kitchen garbage can, take it outside, hose it out and wash with dishwashing liquid.
- Put any food they have NOT found in zip lock bags, or in sealable plastic containers. or the refrigerator.
- Ants can penetrate metal-threaded lids on glass jars. Glass jars are immune from ants, only if sealed with rubber gasket.
- Once you have secured the food,vacuum up the ant line, along with some cornstarch( this helps to suffocate them inside the bag).
- Use dishwashing liquid and hot water to wash the area around the ant line to erase any scent of the trail.
- Seal the area where the ants entered; caulk windows and cracks and weather strip doors. Apply duct tape or petroleum jelly over holes as a temporary fix.
- Go outside and see if you can find out where the ants entered the house. They may have used an overhanging branch to enter, if so, trim it off.
- Check the area in an hour. If you see any single ants, or scouts searching the area, squash them( sorry!) but they are checking out the area for future invasions!
- If you wish to wipe out the ant population, use ant traps that contain" Boric Acid". The returning ants poison the whole colony.
I would point out however, that in the garden, ants can play a beneficial role, so only use the above method if absolutely necessary
Here are some tips that may help;
Some natural ant deterrents include crumbled bay leaves, cinnamon, peppermint leaves and cayenne pepper.If an indoor plant is infested with ants, take it outside and flood it several times with a hose, to remove them.Insecticidal sprays kill only the ants that you spray, which will be a very small percentage of a colony, and won't prevent future invasions. Please make sure, if you do use a spray, keep children and pets away.
In the house, I found that sprinkling the doorways with a powder cleaner ie, Ajax, kept the ants from crossing the line of powder and they did not enter the house.
One word of warning!! If you have Carpenter ants, which are a larger species, as they burrow into wood and cause terrible damage, do NOT keep any piles of decaying wood near your house, as this attracts them.
The methods I have outlined above, if used diligently, should go a long way to eliminate your pesky visitors.

Help! I need an inexpensive dog repellant to keep other people's animal doo out of my yard!?
(I messed up trying to edit the previous question, thanks for the responses I had started getting)
I'm renting but I did ask the landlord about a fence with me paying and he never responded, something about looking for a survey, but that was when I had the money to build a front fence. He can squeeze between the cracks anyway. Even runs all through the back, but only poops in the front!! I've tried talking to the neighbor, didn't help. I've called animal control. He's a little dog and does run too fast to catch and drop off at the pound as well as other things that would go along with a tresspassor. I've done the whole put it back in their yard thing and that gets disgusting and hey they're used to it anyway so it doesn't bother them, which is why I don't want my own animal. The pepper thing doesn't last.
A picture is worth a thousand words. If you have video or a photo of him taking a dump, you can get the police to issue a ticket to the owner. You can use it to file a sanitation and bad dog (or loose dog) complaint with your neighborhood service, who can issue tickets in the $75 range to the owner.
I returned a few poops one of the neighbors dogs kept doing on my lawn and porch--left it on their lawn chairs finally, to make a point. The other pissed off neighbor down the street got the best reaction though--the dog had diarhea when it went on his lawn so he got a shovel and scooped it up, walked it over to the dog's owner who swore at him through the screen door--and he flung it at the screen (which didn't stop the liquid stuff at all...). When they threatened to call the police he told them he'd already called them twice that day about their loose dog. No police showed up.
But enough of that--retaliation doesn't work with dog poop. Just get the pictures and you have 'proof' no owner can refute, and can get some serious money tickets given to the owner for letting their dog run loose and foul other people's living spaces. It's a sanitation issue.
