| Lots of stuff. They won't like coffee or coffee grounds for example, but the plants will. Spinosad, orange oil and natural diatomeous earth can also be used to control the ants. |

| I had tiny ants coming in from even tinier cracks by some windows. I went outside and found the line of ants and put DE all around the area. I then sprayed down the inside with Orange Guard. As I was told, youhave to erase the scent trail that they leave for each other. Within a day or 2, the ants were gone. |
