DIATOMS, what are you? What do you do? There is a scrap of information that flows among the like-minded folks of the south. That scrap of information is; use DIATOMS on ant piles. The information is usually revealed in the following way:
New Southerner: “Oh my, we don’t have these Fire Ants where I come from.”
Old Southerner: “Yes, the bites [sic (sting)] are nasty for such a little ant.”
Very Old Southerner: “Those ants weren’t always here. You used to be able to walk bare foot and grab a covey of quail with your bare hands.”
New Southerner: “How do you get rid of the ants?”
Old Southerner: “Just sprinkle the granules from Home Depot all over your property.”
Very Old Southerner: “The name Home Depot doesn’t make sense, they don’t have homes at the Home Depot.”
New Southerner: “Aren’t those granules toxic?”
Old Southerner: “Don’t eat the granules.”
Like Minded Old Southerner: “Another way to combat the ants is to use Diatomaceous Earth.”
New Southerner: “Di- huh? What?”
Like Minded Old Southerner: “Diatomaceous Earth, packaged under the name DIATOMS, available at OkraGardenSupply.com”
New Southerner: “What is it? How does it Work?”
Like Minded Old Southerner: “Just keep reading the Okra Garden Supply blog, all will be revealed.”
Very Old Southerner: “What is a blog?”
