We use "Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth" better known as DE. You can sprinkle this dust in your garden, yard, home, and it is very safe. Not poisonous to humans or animals. In fact, some people eat it and feed it to their pets. It is fossilized remains of itty bitty creatures, and when ants, palmetto bugs, termites, ants, bed bugs, etc. walk over it, it cuts their outer shell and they dry out and die. Be sure to use Food Grade, not the kind that is filter grade for swimming pools as that kind is toxic.
