Cinnamon Oil to get rid of ants

We recently heard from one of our employees regarding cinnamon oil to get rid of ants and keep them away. Here is her story:

"I moved into a new home about 2 years ago and in the spring I found ants in my house - the dishwasher to be exact.  I couldn't understand how they were getting in or where they were coming from. I tried spraying around the house - with no luck. I purchased little ant traps and placed them around the dishwasher - and after about a month - they disappeared.

This year, about 2 weeks ago, I saw them again. I remembered reading about cinnamon, so I decided to try Cinnamon oil. I put 3 drops of cinnamon oil in the dishwasher. I check about 30 minutes later and they were gone. I have run the dishwasher several times since and no sign of any more ant! I am AMAZED - they are gone! The cinnamon oil got rid of the ants!


I highly suggest using this oil if anyone else has this type of problem. I was so impressed that I just had to share. - J.L."
