Organic Pest Control That Works

Spring has finally arrived. time to get outside and do some spring cleaning and a few chores. Spring around here brings bugs. I mean crawling yucky bugs like ants and other unwelcome critters. No worries though, I use diatomaceous earth for organic pest control.
Sprinkle where bugs live and crawl. That's it. Works on ants, beetles, roaches, bedbugs,fleas and more.
The package says it kills in 24 hours. I saw a big reduction but it took a little longer for all signs of my ant problem to dissappear.
Use gloves when handling this, not because it's toxic but becuse it's an irritant on your skin
Enjoyed the project?

Sharon Connors on Apr 24, 2014@Joyce,gamblin you can't rely solely on things like this. Feeding your dog a better diet would help IMMENSELY. Fleas and other parasites are only attracted to animals in poor overall health.

T. Griffith on Apr 24, 2014@Sharon Connors no true, Sharon Connors! Fleas are everywhere outside and can sense a "warm body" from a good distance. Healthy or unhealthy is not a factor in sensing the body heat of an animal that is about to provide sustenance.
