Cinnamon who new ants dont like it.

Cinnamon repellent who knew if you put it in your pots it deters ants from the pots. I tried them on the pots I had ants in and so far I have seen non on the bottom and non on the top where they normally hang around. I put some water in the containers. Just a word of warning it seems to have killed off my mint plant so cinnamon doesn't i guess does not go well with mints. Anyway I place them in my pepper plants with no affect as far as growth.
