With the arrival of spring in the UK, insects like ants begin to invade homes, particularly in March when they emerge to reproduce. A lack of early intervention can lead to costly infestations. Storage expert Chris Hutton suggests using peppermint tea bags as a natural deterrent. The aroma disrupts ants' pheromone trails, making homes less attractive for them. To prevent ants, Hutton recommends placing unused tea bags in entry points and urges thorough cleaning to eliminate food traces that attract these pests.
