My cabinets were ravaged by ants – my witchy tip keeps them out with a single ingredient, it’s kitchen magic
ONE self-proclaimed witch has shared her scary good strategy for keeping kitchen ants away.
Using just one ingredient, she proved the insects were no match for her magic.
“As you can see, our cabinets have been ravaged by some ants, so we’re going to go ahead and solve the problem with a little bit of kitchen magic,” said Ash (@ashthekitchenwitch).
All it took to keep the creepy crawlies away was one common staple: a simple spice.
While she herself preferred black pepper, Ash explained that you can also use cayenne pepper for the same getting rid of bugs result.
“All you’re going to do is take the black pepper and make a boundary,” she explained as she poured the pepper around the bottom of her cabinets.
She also had proof for those who didn’t believe in her strategic spell.
Ash made a ring of pepper with an ant placed in the middle to demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique.
“You can see this poor little guy is freaking out. He does not like the pepper at all,” she explained.
According to Ash, the ants are irritated by the pepper.
It also masks their feremones so they can’t find their trail that leads to the food sources in your home and yard.
Her easy trick certainly turned some into believers.
“Thank you! I have used cinnamon in the exact same way, but it’s time to change it up a bit,” said one thankful follower.
Another viewer was also willing to test out the magic for himself.
“Figures I have ants around my cat food today. I’ll have to try this out!” he said.
