Diatomaceous Earth

What it does do is, when DRY, it can kill mites/fleas, etc. ... but (again) its entire effectiveness as a parasiticide lies in it being DRY ... which is kinda negated when ingested and moistened

This is the best way to use DE. Stop ant trails and put on my dog's coat and bedding during the summer months.

I had a real bad flea situation about 4 years ago, it happened after I brought home a young pup that was on another yard, & it quickly spread to the other pups that we had him with that were the same age...something I won't ever do again!!!

Anyways me, & my wife powdered the pups daily with only D Earth for 2 wks on top of it being spread around in their dog run, & bedding before finally getting rid of the flea infestation...in that situation it didn't work as fast as I expected, but after all it did work!

I've never tried it on ants like you said yet though...I guess I never thought about that cuz we have another way we would get rid of them, but next time I have an ant issue I'll give it a try, & see how it works out.

Give it try. My girlfriend was skeptic at first until the ants disappeared. It took about an hour but it worked. Never saw them in the house again. On dry days, I also spread them around the house and in the yard(grass, tree stomps, and bushes) ever since I've been using DE, fly and insects population has gone down to minimum and my house was built on a swamp area.
