It's basically spiky silica, & it gets into the bugs' joints & tears them up, mechanically. I sprinkled it around the area where I feed my cats, & I haven't seen a single ant since than! Best of all, it's completely non-toxic, & totally harmless to mammals - & every other vertebrate organism.

If you want to get rid of bugs, dusting diatomaceous earth* around the areas where they are giving you trouble works v. well. I most recently used it to get rid of ants when I moved into my current home, & they got into my cats feeding bowls. Cheap, safe, easy. * en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diatoma...

Starting this 🧵 over again to include definitions of OSA/S, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), etc. so I don't lose people new to the topic.
