Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.


Every spring, I have a healthy invasion of little black ants that come into my kitchen for a few weeks. Recently, I threw a deli wrapper in the trash can and 10 minutes later, it was literally COVERED with ants.

I could see more of them filing in through the cupboard from the outside wall. I happened to grab a squirt bottle with a dilution of Thieves Cleaner and gave that a try.

It killed them instantly on contact. I opened the cupboard and sprayed those too. I've been using it every day since and it works great!
