green way to kill ants : hydrogen peroxide


i just found out this wonderful solution to kill ants hydrogen peroxide. today i had ants in my kitchen yet again so i went looking for something safe to spray i could not find anything but a spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide i bought from dollarama a while back so i thought what the hey i will try it so i sprayed it on the aunts instantly they died why did i not think of this before. now if you don't have it already in a spray bottle just go to the dollar store and buy a spray bottle and keep it in your home for the ants i'm not sure if it works on other bugs but if it does please tell me in the comments below it does work such a relief i tell you i was sick in tired of ants in my kitchen all the time thank goodness for hydrogen peroxide.
