Getting rid of yard spider infestation

As Spring started to creep in, I realized we had an infestation of yard spiders to the point we couldn't let Lily play outside.  Through research, we stumbled upon diatomaceous earth as an answer.  Sprinkle this powder on the yard a couple of times per year.  It works by making cuts in insect bodies and winds up dehydrating them.  It is non-toxic to humans.  You can get a 10 lb bag for under $30.   Take that, ye insects that hold our yard hostage!
