Ants may be small, but they can turn into a big problem fast—especially in the kitchen. Before reaching for harsh chemical sprays, try this simple, natural method that’s worked in my family for years.

The Secret? Vinegar and Water.

My nana swore by this easy, pet-safe solution

1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
Spray bottle
Mix the two ingredients, shake well, and spray anywhere you’ve seen ants—along windowsills, baseboards, countertops, or pantry areas.

It takes five minutes and works wonders.
