1. Fill the spray bottle with window cleaner.
2. Locate the ant trail.
3. Spray the ants with the window cleaner. Wait a few minutes.
4. Wipe the window cleaner and dead ants up with the paper towels. Discard the towels.
5. Sprinkle the area where the ants were with ground cinnamon or broken cinnamon sticks.
