Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
I was dealing with an ant invasion around my trash can and around my dog's food bowl.
After reading several recipes my favorite one is:
* A teaspoon of sea salt to absorb 3 drops each of Peppermint, Lemon, Orange, and Grapefruit essential oils.
* Then I combined the oil and salt mixture with water to fill an 8 to10-ounce metal spray bottle.
Note: It is important to remember that citrus oils must be stored in metal or glass bottles, not plastic.
I sprayed the trash can and the floor around my dog's bowls with the mixture 3 to 4 times in one day. I have not seen another ant since!
I was relieved that I did not have to worry about my dog coming in contact with essential oils, as they are nontoxic. And of course I was excited that the oils solved my problem too.
I love therapeutic-grade essential oils!
