I've been cleaning the house with vinegar for a while now. Ants seem to hate it, it cleans almost as good as those chemical cleaners, but you know it's got to be better for the environment. I add a bit of flavored oil to mask the vinegar smell a bit, since the wife doesn't much like how vinegar smells. Now I've got a few dozen more things to try my vinegar on.

Vinegar also makes a great plant killer. Mix it 50/50 with water, and add a little dish soap and put it in a spray bottle. Spray all the plants that are growing up in your driveway or sidewalk or what have you. Within a couple days they should be wilted and dying. It's a little slower then a roundup, but much safer, non-toxic, and makes your yard smell like a salad with vinaigrette dressing on it, which is kinda weird, but nice too.
