[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 202719, member: 3306"] Howard Garret is great. I had fleas real bad in the house one year and I couldn't get rid of them until I read something about him in the newspaper. Diatomatious earth works well with any insect. They are like tiny little seashells all ground up and it gets in the chinks of their exoskeleton. You have to be careful and not breath it when you apply it. It will get into your chinks, too. Last year, I had fire ants so bad that they would get into my chicken's eggs as they were hatching and kill the chick before it ever hatched. Had a terrible chick crop last year. I am hesitant to use anything around the pens because the chickens scratch around so. I don't want them to eat poisons. We usually just Orthene around the yard. It was a losing battle though, last year. [/QUOTE]
