Limes contain d-limonene, an extract that is toxic to ants. Next time you use a lime, keep the peel to create an ant pesticide. You can also spray the homemade pesticide by windows and doorways to help keep the little creature outs. Check out how to make your own lime pesticide here.

Adding just two teaspoons of lime juice and one teaspoon of bleach and sugar to a vase full of flowers will keep them fresh and blooming. The bleach helps kill the bacteria, while the sugar feeds them and the lime juice acidifies the water.
