How to Get Rid of Ants in the House
Here’s where we get a little science-y. Diatomaceous earth is basically fossilized plankton dust. To an ant, it’s like walking through a field of razor-sharp glass. It’s non-toxic to pets and kids, but it turns an ant’s exoskeleton into a sad, dehydrated fossil.
Sprinkle a thin line of it along baseboards, door thresholds, or behind the fridge. Think of it as a polite “no trespassing” sign that’s also a tiny desert. Ants will cross it once and then rethink their life choices.
Just don’t buy the pool-grade stuff—that’s for filters, not ant murder. And whatever you do, don’t sniff it. Trust me, you’ll feel like you swallowed a sandpaper lollipop.
