Hi agnes, seriously I've not tried the ants tips myself.For me the most effective is using the China made "peanut like" powder and put in corners of the house. Even cicak come and eat and turn black in colour(like kena poison), ha ha!

Good tips there! But hey, soaking lemon in hot water, the vitamins will loose its value, no?
