Who here loves to enjoy their backyard with their dogs? Ah, it's always fun to play catch with a furry friend.

In this case, the gentleman drew a heart. Aww, that's so sweet. Isn't it? So, why does chalk repel ants, you ask? Well, let me tell you.

No wonder my mom always told me to put chalk around the entryways of my house. This trick will definitely deter ants from getting inside. And it works the same with your dog's water bowl outside.
Wow, that's a lot, huh? Everybody is so excited about this hack they're trying it out not only with the dog bowls but inside their house, too. (No word on if this hack is effective against aunts, though._
Do you think it actually works? I want to know if you tried it with your dog bowl. And if it worked for you, let me know in the comments below. We've got to protect our pet's water from pests, no?
