2. Natural Ways to Get Rid of Ants:
Ants are attracted to food residues and moisture.
Vinegar Solution: Wipe down surfaces with a solution of equal parts water and vinegar. Ants are repelled by the smell of vinegar.

Cinnamon and Coffee Grounds: Sprinkle cinnamon or coffee grounds near entry points. Both are natural ant deterrents.
