Help!

we had an ant attack a few weeks ago and we washed out all the cupboards after spraying the stuff to kill them and whatnot but we still can't get the smell out of one of our cupboards and we've tried everything we can think of and I know that there is some sort of herb or herbs that absorb odors but I can't for the life of me think of what they are

I googled this as I got curious myself... didn't find a herbal info, but this one sounds interesting, too:

Regular baking soda absorbs odors. And its cheap. Sprinkle boxes of it around on the carpets/floors and let it set a few hours. Pour boxes of it into pie tins and set them around for a few days.
Good old-fashioned white vinegar is another option.
Soak towels in the vinegar, wring them out and spin them around as you walk around the room. You may wash the walls down with a vinegar-water solution. No harm done; once dry you can paint the walls without rinsing off the vinegar solution.

thanks for the advice, I googled and didn't find any of that. Very helpful.

I've seen baking soda being used for cleaning and other household stuffs on tv, so I guess it's really a good thing :)
