### 🚫 How to Use It

1. **Identify the Ant Trails:** First, figure out where the ants are coming from. Check along baseboards, windowsills, under sinks, and near doors.

2. **Spray the Entry Points:** Generously spritz the mixture along any cracks, corners, or crevices where ants may be getting in. Don’t forget behind appliances and along countertops.

3. **Wipe Down Trails:** If you see a trail of ants, spray the mixture directly on them and wipe it away. This removes the pheromone trail they leave for others to follow.

4. **Repeat as Needed:** Reapply every few days or after cleaning the area. Consistency is key, especially in the beginning of ant season.
