Help: Ants got mad

Diatomaceous earth aka (DE) is also formidable against many a crawling insect, I used it for years to control ants, (various species of sugar, carpenter, and SW US species of fire ants)

Dirt cheap, easy to clean up and is relatively neutralized with simple water.

Edit: Do as with always wear proper protection when applying DE or any other chemicals, etc.

Wear long sleeves and a facemask, and eye protection if you insist, when applying, but don’t freak out if you get some on your hands, it washes off with water instantly.

As mentioned before, DE is largely neutralized by water, so if you encounter some rain, you will need to apply.

I loved using it over conventional pesticides forever, I really miss having access to reasonable pest control methods for my plants, now I just leave it up to nature to decide who stays and who goes… now.
