Peppermint & Tea Tree Ant Spray
For all of the recipes, use distilled water if you plan to store the spray for more than a few days.
Equipment
- 1 Glass Spray Bottle
Ingredients
- 1 cup white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 cup water
- 10 drops peppermint essential oil
- 10 drops tea tree essential oil
- 1 squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a spray bottle and gently swirl to combine.
- Shake well before use.
- Spray directly on ant trails, windowsills, door frames, and entry points.
- Use daily until ants are gone, then weekly for maintenance.
Notes
Don't have one of the essential oils? No problem. Just double the one amount of the one you do have (e.g., 20 drops of peppermint oil).
Important Note: Do not use this spray on natural stone like marble or granite (vinegar can etch it), delicate fabrics, or untreated wood.
