note to self: ants hate cucumbers..
I googled the thing about ants hating cucumbers.. (Why do I google so much -.-)
And I found:
“I did an experiment at school (Science Research Project or SRP) on natural or homemade ant repellents. DO NOT USE CUCUMBER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!! If anything, it attracts them. Vinegar (especially red wine, but any kind works) and baking soda or powder work really well. The ants hightailed. While the cleaning agents mentioned DO work, the ones I just listed are eco-friendly along with Simple Green.”
Meh.. But yeah, I found a bajillion other things that ants hate. Useful information, indeed!
