Ants are fierce where I live, and they sure love my honey. So I put my bottle of honey in a little water bath. The water keeps the ants away and there’s more honey for me! It’s simple and effective. Good thing there aren’t any bees. I wouldn’t know how to deal with that!
Honey in a foot bath
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

I have tried this but must admit that I get so grumpy that I get out the insect spray! So non-environmental but effective when you have had enough! Lol!
