Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are among the many organisms that inhabit a wide range of habitats and ecosystems and are significant to the ecology. Ants affect people, animals, and plants in both positive and negative ways. Ants are uncomfortable when they are present in residential and dorm environments. Thus, Aeroscent is a novel ant-repellent candle made of natural repellents like soy wax, turmeric, cinnamon, lime, lemongrass, and basil. The results of the ant repellence test demonstrate that Aeroscent is effective at keeping ants away. Commercialization of Aeroscent is possible due to its dual functions as an elegant décor item and a barrier against undesired pests. It blends easily into any living area, and its pleasant aroma both naturally repels and enhances the atmosphere.
