Diatomaceous Earth on Ants

Using Diatomaceous Earth on ants is a safe and effective way to get rid of ants in your home. It’s easy to apply, and can be used both inside and outside.

Diatomaceous Earth works because it cuts through the cuticle of the ant’s body, piercing its exoskeleton and causing it to dehydrate. This allows the particles of the earth to disable and kill the ant.

You can use Diatomaceous Earth to kill ants in your home, but you should use gloves. This is because the particles can irritate your skin and respiratory system if you inhale them.

You can spread Diatomaceous Earth around the perimeter of your home, and around ant nests. You can apply it with a duster, turkey baster, or paint brush. You can also apply it to cracks and crevices, and even in windows and doors. Diatomaceous Earth is also an effective way to kill cockroaches and fleas.

You can also use Diatomaceous Earth to kill earwigs and ticks. Diatomaceous Earth is safe for use by children and pets. It is a natural insecticide and ant control that’s backed by scientific research. It can also be used to prevent future infestations.

Some brands of Diatomaceous Earth are cleared by the FDA as Food-Grade, and are safe for humans. However, you should not water plants with food-grade Diatomaceous Earth.

Diatomaceous Earth has been used as a natural pesticide in agriculture, medicine, and plastics. It is also used to clean spills in industry settings.
