How to repel ants in your home using this 1 natural oil – it's entomologist-approved and non-toxic

A blue and white kitchen with blue cabinets, a white kitchen island, and a black and white tiled backsplash behind a black stove. On the kitchen island is a loaf of bread, a tray with breakfast goods, and an open recipe book. To the right is a white fluted sink with gold faucets next to a vase of flowers, below a bright and sunny window.

Ant season is well and truly here, and these pesky insects seem to find their way into a home through every single nook and cranny. For most of us, using chemicals to deter them, particularly in the kitchen, is simply not an option. So, how else can they be repelled?

The answer, says our entomologist, lies in all-natural, non-toxic patchouli oil.
