In fact, it is not necessary for the anthill itself or where they nest, to be inside our home, but they often come from the yard.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/razafolklorica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/combatir-las-hormigas.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22190\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ant plague is considered to be on the same level as that of cockroaches. The\u00a0Texas Agricultural Extension\u00a0service gives some indications to take into account if there is an ant infestation in our home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Keep plants away from the house to protect the foundation<br>\u2013 Store food in sealed containers.<br>\u2013 Do not let food rest outside the pantry or refrigerator overnight.<br>\u2013 Fill cracks and holes.<br>\u2013 Prune old trees and shrubs near our home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trick to fight ants<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having said all of the above, today we have a simple and easy method to prepare with things that you surely have in your own pantry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a trick to combat ants, which simply do their job, but yes, they are annoying when they already climb on the kitchen table or enter the pantry and take over our merchandise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good thing is that it does not have a negative effect on ants, nor on our health. It is non-toxic, no harmful chemical is used so we can use it with total peace of mind in any corner of our house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We are going to need the following elements to get rid of ants at home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rice (the more starch it contains, the better)<br>1 500 milliliter<br>plastic bottle Blender<br>1 Orange and lemon<br>peel 1 pair of gloves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After cleaning the plastic bottle thoroughly, let it dry, and when there is no trace of moisture, add rice until it is full to the brim.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We are going to place the bottle upside down as close to the nest as we can. It is important that when you turn the bottle and be in this position, the grains begin to come off, but that it always remains firm and does not move.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We leave our trap to fight ants for at least a week, the drying effect of the starch will eliminate the anthill, that is, it will dry up little by little.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can grind the rice together with the lemon and orange peels so that a faster toxic effect against ants is achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Significado_de_hormigas_en_la_casa\">Meaning of ants in the house<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the meaning of having ants in the house, many have asked us if it is possible that it is a spiritual problem. We want to tell all our reader friends that the appearance of ants means that there is something that interests them, and it is not at all some esoteric act against us, it is not witchcraft, it does not announce revenge for an acquaintance with whom we had a problem nor does it announce a disaster in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/razafolklorica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/significado-de-las-hormigas-en-casa.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22191\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Far from that, the meaning of ants at home has more to do with some food that we leave out in the open, or possibly with some special corner where they found their space to reproduce or provide themselves with what they need. Ants are part of nature, let&#8217;s not obsess over myths or folktales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hole in the wall, a raised tile, any space with a small pile of dirt is enough for ants to come, settle in and not leave. In fact, the National Pesticide Information Center indicates that &#8220;some species of ants can destroy wooden buildings or bite people.&#8221; Therefore, this makes them a latent danger, but we should not panic either, remember the trick mentioned above and if the problem persists call a pest specialist who will present a more aggressive method.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having ants in the house is something that happens to all of us at some point.
