Sorry to bother you all but can you help me?

I went ahead and ordered 50 lbs of the food grade DE yesterday. I will try it on spider mites which are showing up now that we are experiencing 100 degree days with little rain, especially on my older plants. What I plant to do with most of it is use it in my dog houses to combat fleas and sprinkled all over my garden to see if it will work against slugs. Slugs have been present in huge numbers in my garden since I started it nearly 40 years ago and I haven't found anything that really diminishes their numbers significantly. I have bought boxes and bags of slug bait and used them to no avail. Keeping my fingers crossed hoping this stuff will do the trick.
