I “discovered” Eco PCO D-X Dust not to long ago to get rid of fleas, and it was AWESOME ! It also works on millipedes, bed bugs, roaches, flies etc.... it is all natural, 100% organic, pet-safe, unscented, water resistant, non-staining, and can be used indoors and outdoors. I bought the 10 oz. container for about $15.00 at Home Depot, and it’s ready to use, so no mixing or preparations ! I hope this helps, and hope you get rid of them soon !

  Started using diatomaceous earth per a recommendation of someone else since Ace didn't have your Eco PCO dust. Will have to try your dust suggestion since diatomaceous earth isn't completely stopping them.

  We have had a problem with ants the last few weeks, and I tried a lot of diys to kill them, and most did, but not long term, just the ones that’s got sprayed right then. I tried the trail of corn meal, and haven’t seen the first one in two days ! They go back and kill the whole colony after eating it ! I know you don’t have ants, but just wanted to share that with someone, LOL ! 😁

Diatomaceous earth with kill them and it's all natural. You could also use Boric acid that would work to kill other pests such as roaches. Best of all, you could just raise chickens!!! They will eat everything!!! Good luck as these are all very safe options!
