Instructions: Place whole cinnamon sticks or cloves near ant entry points, in cracks, or along edges of cabinets. You can also sprinkle ground cinnamon in affected areas.
4. Baking Soda and Sugar Trap
A great way to control ants and cockroaches, as they are attracted to sugar, but baking soda will kill them once ingested.
