   It did wonders in stopping a massive invasion of ants in one place
   several years ago.  Something sweet got spilled in a church kitchen,
   and was not completely cleaned up - and within a week the place was
   being overrun with ants.  Nothing worked until someone laid a
   "barrier" of diatomateous earth completely around the outside of the
   building.  It was repeated once a few days later after a heavy
   rainfall - but after that the ants decided to look elsewhere for
   food.  It was literally a plague of ants.  (Grin)
