Never used it myself, but a quick search for diatomaceous earth reveals three previous threads suggesting it might be of use against ants, spider mites, and woodlice respectively:

It's fosssilized something or other crushed into powder. It's as organic as you can get. I've used it with good results but it's getting harder to find as supplies are not infinite.
