So, if you’ve talked to me recently, you know that we have a bit of an ant problem.  Hey! It’s So. Cal and we are backed up against a bunch of brush…I am really seriously against any kind of bug spray in my house.  We are exposed to way too many chemicals as it is and I don’t think there is any reason to add to that with something lethal…

While poking around the internet I found a surprising method to repel the little buggers (actually, I rather like them…they really aren’t hurting anyone and they are just doing their antly duties, so while I wouldn’t necessarily *invite* them, I would do my best to minimize the casualties and redirect them–I say would because my husband’s desperate screeching about the “BUGS!” precludes me from doing so…)

Anyways the answer to your ant woes is apparently (drumroll please!) ground cinnamon!  That’s right, you heard me…I placed some ground cinnamon on the windowsill in Issa’s bathroom and found that the ants are *gone*…and the room smells lovely!
