My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

diatomaceous earth to control centipedes

9 years ago

My tower has a lot of centipedes running around with the worms. I'm not sure if they eat the worm but I would rather not take the chance. Will diatomaceous earth kill the centipedes without harming the worms?
