- Strategically place whole cloves around your garden, especially near ant entry points and around the perimeter. The cloves’ aroma acts as a natural barrier.
- Refresh these cloves periodically, especially after heavy rain, to maintain their effectiveness.
2. Clove Oil Spray:
- For a more direct approach, you can use clove essential oil to make a potent ant-repellent spray.
- Mix a few drops of clove oil with water and a small amount of mild soap (which helps the solution adhere to surfaces) in a spray bottle.
- Apply the spray directly to ant trails, around plant bases, and at entry points to your home and garden.
3. Ground Cloves for Plant Protection:
- Sprinkle ground cloves around vulnerable plants. This is particularly useful for young seedlings or flowering plants that attract ants.
- Reapply ground cloves regularly to ensure a continuous scent barrier.
