Then we are looking for YOU!
​When faced with ants invading your home, use of insecticides can be effective. However, they can be detrimental to your family and the environment when these toxins inevitably get spread around. Natural remedies are a good alternative to insecticides.

There are lots of home remedies for natural ways to remove ants from your home. However, there have been no studies looking at which of these methods is most effective. This is why we are looking for your help!

​Choose a natural deterrent (cinnamon, black pepper, cloves, cayenne, and many more) and report back to us in the survey below.  Be sure to use the deterrent to wipe up their trails and place it by their point of entry.
​ ​
Your participation in this study will help us ant-researchers better understand which natural chemicals work to deter ants the best. It will also help those in the future who find themselves in an ANT-vasion to remove ants safely without putting their family at risk.
