The presence of ants can be undesirable in places meant to be sterile.

They can also come

in the way of humans by their habit of raiding stored food, damaging indoor structures, causing
damage to agricultural crops either directly or by aiding sucking pests or because of their stings and
bites.
The adaptive nature of ant colonies make it nearly impossible to eliminate entire colonies
and most pest management practices aim to control local populations and tend to be temporary
solutions.

It is already known that cinnamon is an amazing ant repellant that not only blocks ants
from your home but can kill them as well, Like coffee, ants will not walk through a line of chili
pepper flakes. And citrus peels can also repel them just blend some orange peels in the blender
blend it and spray them onto the lines.
