A few years ago, me and several neighbors who have property adjacent to mine bought a few thousand ladybugs and released them in our yards to control aphid infestations in some of our trees. Man ...or should I say "lady"... they worked great...and the little buggers look cute, too.
I recently noticed some new (never there before) ant mounds in front of my steps from the driveway into the house. I used the biblical flood method...aggressive water deluge spray from my hose...they rebuilt...I flood them again...haven't seen any trace of them now for over about 2 weeks.
I like that diatomaceous earth idea for fleas...I don't have fleas in the house now but I have had problems in past years. Next time I'm trying this. One article I googled said not to use "swimming pool filter" grade DE. I wonder if aquarium filter grade DE is good or not?...I'll have to read more about this.
