DE will supposedly kill any eggs from worms, like round worms. The dog got worms and puked them up on the carpet. The wife was going nuts and wanted to get some DE to put down.
You have No business messing around with anything that is 6 syllables.Who uses it? What do you use it for?
I'm ok with torturing those little red bastards. I've had mixed results so far but needs more testing.I use it on ants.
It is very jagged and sharp. It supposedly pierces their bodies when they get it on them. Kills them by multiple wounds.
Ouch.
Terro Liquid Ant Baits
The best thing I've found to date.
These things really work.
Still not sure D earth does a whole lot on the very small ants.
I won't waste my time with those, after seeing the results from my wife using them in the kitchen one Spring/Summer.
For those who don't know...my wife doesn't like using things like insecticides, weed poisons, and "environmentally unsafe" products. The rough translation of this being "anything that works or that I like to use".
So...no treating the house or lawn with ant/insect killer for ants.
One spring we had ants in the kitchen and, because her Mom uses them, she put out Terro Liquid Ant Bait.
And all Spring, Summer, and into the Fall I was greeted with a long line of ants steadily marching to and from the Terro Liquid Ant Bait she put out. Day after day after day. If I used a magnifying glass, I probably would have seen these b*stards snorting the stuff through tiny straws.
BUT...that's the way she wanted to handle the ants.
NEXT YEAR, EARLY SPRING:
I buy a bag of ant granules and some odorless residual pesticide spray and I wait until she goes out shopping. Then I spray the bejeebers out of the kitchen (along the bottom of the cabinets on the floor, around the window sill/ledge, across the top edge of the counter on the wall, etc.). Outside I spread the ant granules around the house, especially the kitchen area, out to about 6 feet. Then I crawl under the house and liberally spread more ant granules anywhere near the kitchen area.
When I'm done, the empty stuff goes back in the trunk of my car, to be disposed of somewhere else so she never has a chance to see anything.
No ants in the kitchen the entire year.
So this has become a regular thing for me every Spring when she's going to be out of the house for a while.
