Argentine and Odorous house ants are common in many Las Vegas and Henderson homes. There’s nothing like walking into your kitchen first thing in the morning, bleary eyed and ready for your morning cup of coffee only to find that your home has been invaded. Below are some of the best natural remedies you can try to get rid of the ants infesting your space.

1. Mint

Peppermint is a natural insect repellant. You can plant mint around your home or use the essential oil of peppermint as a natural remedy for control of ants. Ants hate the smell, and your home will smell minty fresh! Plant mint around entryways and the perimeter of your home. Place a few drops of peppermint essential oil on a cotton ball and use it to wipe suspected areas. You can also place a peppermint oil cotton ball in areas such as cabinets where the ants frequent.

2. Vinegar

Mix a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray it directly on the ants to kill them, then wipe up the ants using a damp paper towel and discard them. You can also use vinegar and water as a deterrent; spray it around your windowsills, doorways and other places where you see ants coming inside.

3. Lemon Juice

Just like vinegar, lemon juice also seems to destroy the scent trails that ants follow. Try mixing up a solution of 1 part lemon juice to 3 parts water and use as an all-purpose spray. Spray the lemon solution around entryways and the perimeter of your home, or any areas where you see ants.

4. Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a great option for killing ants. When an ant inhales cinnamon, it suffocates and dies. You can use ground cinnamon and sprinkle on the ants’ path or around an anthill opening. Cinnamon essential oil also works well to repel ants. Mix a few drops of cinnamon oil with water and spray on ant trails, around doors, windows and cracks.

5. Cayenne Pepper or Black Pepper

Ants hate cayenne pepper. Black pepper will work just as well too. Locate the source of the ant infestation problem, sprinkle some pepper around that area and if possible, create a wall that will stop the ants from accessing your household. An alternative solution is to mix some pepper with water and spray the resulting solution at the ants. The pepper won’t kill the ants but it sure will deter them from returning.

6. Food-Grade Diatomaceous Earth

Food-grade diatomaceous earth (DE) also works well as an ant repellent. This powder is the fossilized remains of marine phytoplankton. The microscopic razor sharp edges of DE can cut through the ants’ exoskeletons, gradually causing their body to dry out. Gently sprinkle a thin layer of DE on windowsills, beneath the fridge, under cabinets, in and around garbage cans and any other places where you see ants. Repeat once daily until all the ants are gone. If you apply these methods and still experience ant issues, Western Exterminator has compiled an Ant Resource Center to help you not only identify what types of ants you’re dealing with, but help you get your problem under control. We also provide expert solutions to help our customers keep their homes and businesses ant free. Give us a call if you decide you need help combating these invaders.

The Handbag Brand That Was A Favorite Of Queen Elizabeth's

Queen Elizabeth was a fiercely loyal monarch, both to her country and to her favorite clothing and beauty styles. She stuck with one coiffed hairdo for her seven decades of reign, wore the same nail polish for roughly 30 years, and was scarcely seen in the colors black or beige. The same can be said for the queen's love of handbags as it was an accessory she was rarely seen without. In fact, during her last public appearance with the U.K.'s new Prime Minister Liz Truss, the queen was photographed with a handbag on her arm. Because handbags reflect a sense of personal style and provide a way to keep personal items near, they are a key addition to outfits for many people. For Britain's longest-serving monarch, in particular, handbags were to her like spike umbrellas were to James Bond: an ever-present necessity. According to The Mirror, Queen Elizabeth's handbags were used to send secret signals to her staff and finesse her way out of tough situations. For example, if she placed her bag on the ground instead of the table, it meant she wasn't having a good time and wanted a staffer to come to her rescue.

For an accessory that carried such importance, it's no surprise the late monarch had a favorite handbag maker. She reportedly owned over 200 handbags from one particular manufacturer, according to The Telegraph. So what is the handbag brand that won the heart of the late Queen Elizabeth?
