About that Diatomaceous earth, it's very important that it be labeled "food grade", and it does work. my understanding is that insects walk on it and it would be like us walking on a razor, it cuts them open and/or disables them. Some folks even mix it with liquid and drink it for whatever reason.

Please correct if I'm wrong but, It only needs to food grade if used in locations where humans contact it, it's a waste to use food grade outdoors, it's about 5x the price!

It needs to be reapplied every few weeks or after a heavy rain...

People drink it to cleanse their system...it's not terrible..it tastes like clay...not great either, and it is in fact like tiny razors to invertabrits, it pokes tiny hole in their exoskeleton and they lose all their fluids.
