All you will need is some baking soda, some coffee grounds, and some water.

If you spray your countertops and sinks with lemon juice or lemon-scented cleaner, those bothersome ants will steer clear of those areas. Also, a sprinkling of cinnamon around the entry points will completely disrupt their travel plans!
