Diatomaceous earth

<< One of the best uses for it happens to be in areas that have to deal
 with fire ants; a little added to dog or cat food out of doors will keep
 the ants out of the food; and a barrier sprinkled around the foundation
 of the house will help keep them out of the house.  Dusted around the
 feed in the barn, it will keep them out of the horse feed.

Hey Angie!!!  This came up on another list while discussing the use of 
Diatamaceous earth to control flies -- wooohooo all you fire ant people -- 
let us know how this works!
