I personally never had good luck with DE, I put a 6" pile on top of the ant Hill and they just tunneled on through it. I'm not saying it doesn't work but in my experience it didn't. I bought food grade bag I don't member what brands was years ago I so I could had a bunk bag . Yes on soap and water long time ago I used dawn then switched to Dr. Bronners With peppermint or with lavender are the two I used.Never have tried it but just though it sounds possible to use diotenacious (sp?) Earth around/ on top of soil or even just sprinkle it if plant was in veg...soap and some water works to dry bigger pests out but idk about little ones
I haven't used them in a while though
