    Diatomaceous Earth. It’s a powder of microscopic fossils. It’s a good non-toxic pesticide because it doesn’t use poison but works like microscopic razor blades on bugs and mortally wounds them when they walk over it

      I have a feeling it probably works like microscopic razor blades in your lungs too

        It’s not great to breathe in, but neither are chemical pesticides. It doesn’t really get kicked up in the air once it’s applied unless it’s actively disturbed.

        If you’re going to use pesticides, they all come with tradeoffs and different situations you can use them.
