Diatomaceous Earth —- is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock

Actually, Diatomaceous Earth is made from the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms. Hence the name.

And those tiny silica (glass essentially) remains turn into a soft, siliceous, sedimentary rock… 🤣

A litle Diatomaceous Earth on an ant pile will kill it. I think it's made up of micro sharp edges that is deadly to bugs.
