I have ant problems in my aviary and all arpound the house. Inside and outside.
Where do i get 'diatomaceous earth'? Is there any particular brand name to look for?
I believe it also will stop earwigs in nesting boxes. Is this right?

I bought a small container from the local bird club.. from memory about $7.. It goes a very long way.. The name is Avi Natural from Indruss Productions..MadOzzie wrote:I have ant problems in my aviary and all arpound the house. Inside and outside.

Just read in a recent Thats Life (I think
) that a chalk line stops ants. It was a tip by a reader and the Editor tried it and it worked for the ones trying to invade her windowsill.

Talc does work Flap. But for those who want to use something natural. Please remember that Coopex is made from plant phyrintians (spelling) so is almost natural.
