Default Speaking of Fire Ants...

Speaking of fire ants....we're getting ready to drop "over and out" on our
new lawn (moved recently) and have been fighting scorpions as well (new
construction) . I have heard that diatomaceous earth around the perimeter
of the home with deal a blow to scorpions other arachnids and insects and a
friend recently told me she uses DE to fight fireants.

Anyone here used/had success with DE for fireants? Seems like it would be
non-toxic solution if it does....

cheers!
