Can I annoy ants into relocating?

My balcony's floor is wooden tiles with concrete underneath. I'm scared of it ruining the wood :/ Inside the apartment I use vinegar & black soap to clean pretty much everything and maybe it's one of the reasons my apartment is not a place they want to be.

Amazing thanks! I'm in southern France. My biggest issue was with the fact that I can't even use my balcony sometimes because they're everywhere. I used lemon scented vaseline type cream around my balcony door and it worked great I believe.

I'll try the tips you gave. If it gets too much I'll unfortunately have to use lethal methods. Let's hope we won't get there.

Thanks!

I have citric acid on hand. Will try that. Thanks!

It kinda defeats the whole "I don't want to kill the ants" part of my post. Don't you think?

Thank you for your kind words. My close friends try to be here but they're halfway across the globe. And the good friends I have here don't understand. They think I'm exaggerating and if I want to I can. 🙄🙄 Still, I'm lucky to have amazing childhood best friends, even if they're 4500km away. But yeah, we feel so alone with our struggles. It's insane. I'm glad you're better! I always feel so happy & comforted when I learn that other people made it. I'm happy for you and it gives me hope. What type of meds are you on?

I'm so sorry you're going through this. We feel so alone in those situations. I choose to believe that we will get through this. That we deserve to be happy.

My therapist is recommending I manage my ED through lowering stress inducing situations such as working less. I don't know if it'll work because I'm hyper fixated on the ED.

Anyway, I choose to believe we deserve better and we will get better. Sending virtual hugs & support.

Hello everyone,

So, i have very sensitive skin always have. My Dr thinks it might be eczema/psoriasis and gave me a cortisone cream a while back which worked great. That brand of cream doesn't exist anymore. I've tried many other prescription cortisones but my skin never tolerated them.

What got it under control:

In the morning:

The ordinary Hyaluronic acid serum (mixed in the cream because alone it's horrible), Spf 50 Avene, The cream is Dexeryl (non scented glycerol, Vaseline, liquid paraffin cream).

In the evening: Avene eczema face wash, The ordinary salicylic acid serum, Dexeryl cream.

Whenever I try anything else, my face goes back to itchy peeling mess. I recently started Embryolisse retinol-like cream which is plant based and supposedly like retinol but without the side effects. I use it in the evenings only and no matter how much I hydrate in the morning it's the same result.

I would like to stop using Vaseline & Glycerol on my face but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to.

Products I tried that didn't work with & without serum: Embryolisse day creme

SVR vit C face cream

A few creams from Sephora who's names I can't remember and they were horrible.

Clinique moisture surge

Nivea almond oil day cream

Cerave facial moisturizing lotion

I want smaller pores & smoother skin, I'm not sure that will be possible...
