Cinnamon Stick Ant Repellent: Fact or Fiction?

Cinnamon Sticks: A Natural Ant Repellent? Kentucky resident Ceith Griffith recently shared a video demonstrating a unique method for pest control: using cinnamon sticks to repel ants. The video shows Griffith inserting cinnamon sticks into ant hills in his yard, claiming it effectively keeps ants and other bugs away. "You only have to do this once a summer, and guarantee you, no more ants and no more bugs," Griffith states in the video. While the video has garnered significant attention online, experts are divided on the effectiveness of this method. Some entomologists suggest that while cinnamon's strong scent might temporarily deter some insects, it's unlikely to provide long-term pest control. Further research is needed to validate Griffith's claim. However, the video highlights the public's ongoing interest in natural and eco-friendly pest control solutions.
