WITH summer heat comes a lot of unwanted creature and critters.

There are mosquitos, ants, lizards, and more just creeping and crawling around your yard waiting to enter your home.

And while none of us want these bugs to come inside, sometimes we find it unavoidable.

One woman named Becky Monroe, who goes by @sacastikblonde on TikTok, said she has a hack that will keep ants away – and it won’t cost you much.

In a video, she began: “Did you know that if you take a little bit of Vaseline (petroleum jelly), and you put it in the cracks around the windows or the wall, the ants can’t go through it?”

She said doing so will help you solve your ant problem that’s been lingering for way too long.

Becky learned the hack from an unlikely person while visiting her local Dollar Tree.

“A little old lady, who was looking for Vaseline at Dollar Tree, told me this the other day,” she revealed.

Although you may have other issues to deal with, like the fact that lizards keep appearing on your floor boards, this hack will at least help you with one pesty creature.

And the best part is that petroleum jelly won’t cost you more than $2 for a large amount.

The clip instantly went viral, receiving over 7 million views and thousands of comments that supported the idea:

“I’m glad we are all having ant problems this summer and it’s not just me. I’ve never had them this bad,” one person wrote.

“I’m buying it later and trying it. I’ve had this ant issue for a year now. I can’t even leave a plate with crumbs because it’s a whole ant festival,” added another.
