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.
The ants were once again invading my kitchen. They were all over the sink and counters near the kitchen window which is above my sink.
I had recently cleaned out under my sink and found some leftover Raid so I reluctantly sprayed the ants with it. I hated the smell and the horrible chemicals on my counters. What was worse, the ants were back the next day.
I use the Thieves Spray for my garbage so I tried it around the kitchen window where the ants entered. I guess they don't like Clove oil because they never returned.
It has been many weeks and I am so glad I don't have to be exposed to the scent of nasty chemicals like Raid or have it near my food.
