A Natural Way To Get Rid of Ants

Sara Mannix May 13, 2013November 28, 2017

I don’t use ant traps, so I got used to seeing a few ants around, until one day our cleaning company – A Plus Cleaning Service in Glens Falls left me a note that said “we noticed some ants so we sprinkled cinnamon along their route, we will clean it up on Friday”… voila….. they were gone. Who knew cinnamon got rid of ants.

I am a mother of three kids who discovered how food can heal when my children were little riddled with allergies and constantly sick. At one point, I told the pediatrician, “I think I should have my own room here as we practically live here anyway”. Sick of antibiotic after antibiotic and hearing my eldest hack all night due to dust mite allergies, when a friend offered an alternative route just by changing our diet, as crazy as it sounded, we jumped on it. The sinus infections and coughing all night ceased within 3 weeks. So although I have no training in nutrition. I am always seeking out ways to keep us healthy so I can focus on having fun with my kids instead of tending to their health needs.

I’ve learned a little bit along the way and hope that this blog can help other moms and kids too. I’d love to hear from you on what works for snacks and to keep your healthy, so please share. This is blog is about sharing together what we know, so we can all grow strong and healthy.
