Why does ammonia and vinegar work, but not bleach?
In: 23
Ants leave a scented pheromone trail behind when they walk, which acts as a map for other ants to follow. To get rid of ant trails, you need to remove the scent and kill the ants.
Bleach may not be effective because it evaporates quickly and does not leave a residue that can mask the ant trail. Ammonia and vinegar, on the other hand, can neutralize the ant trail by changing its pH level. They also leave a residue that can deter ants from returning.
