a place i used to work had tons of it to make DI water but i have never seen it sold... it'd be good to put where ants can get into your house also yes?On the use of pesticides:
Last week I awoke to ants crawling all over the walkway at my doorstep. I had read a few months ago to put Diatomaceous earth on the entrances to the ants nests. Guess what? It works! I haven’t seen a single ant since I put it on the entrances to their nest.

I haven’t tried this but my sister swears by it. Mix baking soda and powdered suger in equal proportions, then add a small amount of water to form a paste. Place in a jar lid on the ant colony. They will take it into the colony and all who eat it will explode. You will find dead ants all around the lid.
Cornmeal- non-poison put it any where that it won’t get wet, worker ants take it back to the nest and feed the queen/everybody. They eat it and drink water, it expands and blows up the stomach. El Poofo! No more ants! Been using it for decades.
Things the Orkin Folks DON’T want Us to know...
And yes it works on Fire Ants also.
