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."

Some of the essential oils most commonly found in cleaning products are lemon, orange, geranium, tea tree, lavender, pine and juniper.

If you have never experimented with essential oils and cleaning it can be a wonderful, refreshing and scent-ilating chore!  The easiest way to incorporate aromatherapy into your cleaning products is to purchase an unscented dish detergent, vinegar and your favorite essential oils.

Here are a few sample recipes:

Antibacterial Foaming Hand Soap

8 oz Foamer Bottle
4 oz unscented dish detergent
4 oz water
1 ml essential oils (25 drops) try Lavender, Peppermint & Tea tree Blend
To create your own foaming hand soap, mix the dish detergent with the essential oils. Then add water and blend well. Add to a bottle with a foamer top and you have the most luxurious antibacterial soap! Add a few drops of carrier oil for extra softness!

Antiseptic and Antibacterial Spray Cleaner

8 oz spray bottle
1 tsp Dish Soap
7.9 oz water
10 drops Essential Oils (try Lemon, Rosemary & Eucalyptus Oils)

Blend Essential oils with the dish soap and blend well. Then add water and mix well. Spray onto counter tops, etc... and wipe with damp paper towel.

Be creative and have fun!
