Orange Peel

Has anyone used ground orange peel in a paste form on anthills to stop them spreading in the garden? I know it says so on the internet, but has anyone used it and does it work and why does it work?

I have dried some orange peel this year for some uses that I already know about and have put together. If any of you know of some uses, please let me know.

Hi Mamta,

Surprisingly i havn't seen much of ants in UK. I believe the oil in the skin is insect repellant. Though I havn't tried it if you can extract this oil from the skin and use it. How about macerating the peels, then boiling it and filtering it (sounds a bit messy).
