Simple Buddhism Practices in Every Day Life

Buddhist teaching often include a story of monks saving ant hills on rainy days, by building a mini dam out of clay to prevent flooding. We inevitably run into issues of ant infestation in the baker's kitchen and pet lover's home, even by the humming bird feeder. I cannot say how many times ants took over my cats' leftovers. What's the best way not to harm ants while keeping your kitchen clean? My favorite is the Sapphire Labs Nectar Fortress Natural Ant Repellent and barrier. It's a natural clear gel that prevents ants from breaching the barrier. Put the gel around your cats bowl (I do it on the matt) to prevent ants from crossing over. It works like magic.
