If you don’t like the harsh chemicals found in bug sprays, you can shoo the pests away with a natural alternative. Salt will deter many insects in your home, namely ants. Sprinkle salt across your door and window frames to prevent ants from entering your home.

Salt may not kill them, but it will repel some insects. Vinegar is another ant repellent, so if you don’t mind the smell, you can mix salt and vinegar to create the ultimate anti-ant shield. You may need to reapply this mixture since it wears off over time.
