Ants and husbands

I went to clean the kitchen bench last night and found to my horror that my bottle of orange fragrant vinegar spray and wipe was empty! I was pretty sure hubby hadn’t been madly cleaning while I was at work but I still thought I’d ask. “It’s OK” he calmly replied “I used it on the ants”. Seemingly we had a trail of ants on the garden wall coming over from the neighbours and seeing as we have stopped buying fly spray hubby thought there was no harm in using my spray and wipe. I have to say he is sort of getting the hang of the ‘vinegar stuff’ as he calls it but when it is getting close to the end of the vinegar I would rather have a clean house than worry about ants in the garden. Seemingly ants aren’t supposed to be too keen on citrus or vinegar – I have yet to prove or disprove this theory – but in the meantime we have a beautifully orange fragrant garden wall and probably some lovely smelling ants wandering around the garden.
