Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 hi, i tried diatomaceous earth-food grade for fleas & it did not work. ! what is the kind the national park service uses ? thanks thelma m noble <nobltn528 wrote: There are two types of diatomaceous earth. There is a swimming pool filter which uses it. The swimming pool diatomaceous earth has the sharp corners taken off and WILL NOT WORK FOR ANTS. Be sure and get the garden variety diatomaceous earth which cannot be used in a swimming pool filter. thea --------- Forwarded message ---------- Jenny Kernan Thu, 18 Oct 2007 18:59:08 -0700 (PDT) Re: Re: Boric Acid?????????? Message-ID: <816974.47114.qm I believe it was in an article a couple months back by Dr. Mercola. I use it in the house on small trails and around doorways. I have used diatomaceous (sp?) earth for years in my gardens. It's the stuff that the National Park Service uses in their camp grounds to control ants.It's animal and children friendly. We had a huge 4x4' red ant hill in our garden and the kids were getting bit too frequently, they were getting in the house, food and the beds etc. My youngest's dad works for the park service and he brought some of this home. It works wonders! We had even tried pouring ammonia on the hill to help...it did for a very short while. The D.E. was the best so far for large problems.
