Dawn dish soap can be used to get rid of pests. There are some things you should know before you use it.
You have to use it in a certain way, and some versions are better than others. Here are the best ways to use Dawn to get rid of gnats.
Mix 1 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, ½ cup warm water and 5 drops liquid dish soap. Gnats will be attracted to the sweet sugar and pungent vinegar, but the sticky dish soap will disable them from escaping. This trick also works with wine!
If you have an unfinished bottle of red wine that has gone sour, use it to replace the water, sugar, and vinegar. Just add liquid dish soap and wait for the gnats to dive in.
Ants. Ants in the house are a big nuisance. They enter your home when they smell or sense food. Some ants may nest inside rotting floorboards or window frames of a house.
To get rid of ants, mix dish soap or dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle and spray it on the ants. The solution will stick to the ants and the soap will kill them. This spray can also be used to kill ants on your plants.
