Usually the front yard is treated with insecticide, which is what I believe relocated or “herded” the ants into the vegetable enclosure. Who knew? It was recommended that I use Diatomaceous Earth as a perimeter barrier and also apply directly to any ant nests that have started to come up through the barrier cloth in the enclosure. I’ve never used Diatomaceous earth (DE) before, so at least now I’ll know first hand what all the hype is about and if it works. By the way, there are different “flavors” of DE and some are not for human consumption or even your yard. This one is of horticulture grade for both yard and bugs. It’s a super fine powder (like baby powder, but not as heavy as flour) that is off white in color. The powder is made up of crushed, sharp fossilized remains of algae and diatoms making it a chemical and synthetic free pest treatment. For “soft bodied” insects (like ants), any contact with the powder is akin to walking on broken glass that kills them. The DE comes in a decent size bag at a whopping 4 pounds that’s guaranteed to cover a lot of real estate and can be liberally applied to your yard without worry of running out. It does not smell, and it does not stain. Applicator is not included. For the applicator, I usually keep on hand a couple of old Kinder’s BBQ Sauce bottles. They are easy to clean, labels peel straight off without resistance, they have a wide neck for filling and is easy to squeeze as a sprayer. -You could also use a cheap turkey baster. For my problem, I simply sprinkled DE around the areas where the ants live and around each vegetable pot to take care of earwigs, beetles, tomato hornworms and army worms. As far as ants hills go, this is not an instant kill or kill on contact solution like Raid, so be patient. It took a little over 2 days and another dose of DE to completely rid the enclosure of ants. They are now permanently gone and have not moved back into the front yard. By the way, watch out for the wind when applying. Areas with flowering plants that usually have pollinators or attract bees, lady bugs, butterflies etc. need to be avoided as DE does not differentiate between good beneficial insects and bad ones. Since they are also soft bodied, this stuff will kill them. Just saying. Hopefully the ants have moved on to the back lot & I’m fine with that. This has worked for my ant and earwig problem. As for the tomato horn worm and army worms, they still take less time to identify and kill manually. There’s a lot of bang for your buck with this bag, and as gardeners we should be thankful for both the quantity and price. It’s a fantastic deal when compared to other brands. P.S. I did read somewhere that for hard to reach spots on plants, you can actually mix 4 tablespoons DE to 1 gallon of water to spray directly on your leaves. Anyway, as a pest control treatment, this is very effective for ants and earwigs. I can’t speak on other bugs yet since not a problem at this time. The volume and quality for the price point is a steal! Go for it 5 stars!

I was first recommended diatomaceous earth by a few parents in my homeschool group after we moved into a new home and quickly discovered we had a major ant problem. Our entire yard seemed to be home to every kind of ant imaginable—red ants, black ants, tiny ones, large ones—literally everywhere. I completely understand that ants are part of the ecosystem, and I don’t mind them being in the yard or garden. The problem was when they started coming into the house. With two small children, there are always crumbs here and there no matter how careful we are, and the ants were just relentless indoors. We tried hiring an exterminator, which cost us around $300–$400, and while it worked temporarily, the ants were back within about six months. That’s when I decided to try diatomaceous earth instead. We started applying it in discreet areas around the house and problem spots, and honestly, it has worked wonders. It has been far more effective for us than the professional treatment we paid for. The difference is that with this, we can reapply as needed and stay on top of the problem ourselves. I also purchased a simple powder duster (one of those air puffer applicators), which makes it much easier to distribute the diatomaceous earth evenly and in tight spaces. That has made a big difference in how effective and clean the application is. Since using it, we’ve seen a huge reduction not just in ants, but also in other pests like spiders and centipedes. It has helped us keep the entire home much more comfortable and under control. We’ve even started using it outside in areas where ants tend to gather, like around our fire pit, certain garden beds, and near the compost bin. It has continued to perform really well in those outdoor spaces too. Overall, I highly recommend diatomaceous earth. It has been a simple, affordable, and very effective solution for us, especially compared to repeated exterminator visits.

It's good brand
