13. Natural DIY Ant Spray

Ants are such pests and they are really difficult to get rid of once you get them in your home. A mixture of water, witch hazel and a few drops of peppermint oil will do the trick. Ants don’t like the scent of peppermint…crazy little critters…so they will steer clear of any countertop that has a peppermint scent. Just spray this all over your kitchen or wherever you have an ant problem and watch them disappear.
