Ants in House - Gone!

| I read on this forum about natural ways to get rid of ants. We had those tiny, annoying ants. They really liked it here - under my DD highchair was always a tasty morsel left behind after cleaning. Since I have 2 young children I didn't want to use poison so I tried cinnamon, and it worked!
I just took a piece of cinnamon bark and placed it under the baseboard heater where I saw them enter the dining room. The next day, no more ants. I guess they don't like the smell. So far, they haven't found an alternate route into the house. |

| Have to wait to see if is cause-and-effect or coincidence. |

| I read your message and am going to try cinnamon. I bought a large bottle at Sam's Club and am going to sprinkle that around. Hope it works. |

| Update Please!! Is the cinnamon continuing to work? |

| Yes, we need an update...... Does the cinnamon bark work or just sprinkle plain old cinnamon. If you use cinnamon that has been in the cabinet for a while is that still effective or should I buy a new one? Please let us know. |

| I'm not the original poster, but I used cinnamom, and the ants did not like it all. I sprinkled cinnamon, and they don't want to cross it. |
