in #life6 years ago

Live Truth Productions is a multimedia publishing house & more from the Garden of Eden sustainable ecovillage!


Education is one of our primary focuses: we want to inspire everyone to think outside the box and open themselves to the infinite possibilities that exist for ALL aspects of life, and we encourage free thinkers to CHOOSE a full spectrum life of thrival that adds value for all beings and our Earth! 

To that end, we want to share some of our projects with you!

While our @truthproductions account has only been active for over than half a year on Steemit, we have been hard at work behind the scenes in service to the @gardenofeden's community mission for almost a decade! We have hundreds of thousands of photos, thousands of videos, articles, graphics, and designs, and multiple websites that illuminate sustainable, honorable, responsible options that support a better world for all creatures and our living planet, and we look forward to continuing to share them here on the blockchain.

We have been visual artists for years with combined decades of experience, and Steemit productions are one of our latest masteries! We offer our consulting services to help one and all improve their own success on this platform - stay tuned for an upcoming post with more info.

Now, to get to today's post - how to use diatomaceous earth to get rid of ants in your home or around the garden!




Ants are really quite amazing creatures, but they can become a nuisance if they get in your food, or worse yet if they bite.



While they don't pose a particular threat to health, the fire ants in Texas are notorious for their vicious bites. They are aggressive and will send teams to attack people or creatures who come near their hills or even cross their lines of work, resulting in itchy and/or pus-filled bumps that will eventually resolve on their own.



We've even witnessed colonies of fire ants devour fence posts over time. 

Thankfully, food grade diatomaceous earth is an easy, natural, and effective pesticide to help rid your home and property of pesky ants!


Because diatomaceous earth (DE) is made of fine particles of super absorbent silica, DE compromises the protective waxy coating on the exoskeleton of insects, and they basically dry up and die--but humans and mammals are unaffected! 



How to Use Diatomaceous Earth to Get Rid of Ants

  • For little black ants or small hills, knock the hill down and generoulsy apply DE. That's it! 
  • For bigger ant hills, you need to slay the queen.
    • Use a shovel to remove or break up the top of the hill.
    • Break up the network of tunnels using your shovel or a stick.
    • Liberally apply DE, continuing to stir it in.
    • Apply more DE in a 1 foot radius of the hill.
    • Treat every anthill on your property.
  • If you find ants in your home, you can sprinkle DE along their path. The longer you leave it down, the better. Sweep, wipe, or vacuum up after many days if possible. (Note: DE is hard on standard home vacuums. Consider using one without a filter.)

Repeat as needed.


We are happy to offer Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth on our website by donation towards building a healthier world for ALL! 

Food grade DE has a number of uses around the home as well as within the human body! It is one of the easiest and cheapest options we have found for increasing wellness. Here are some of its other uses:
