DE basically works like very small/fine sharp particles that works into their exoskeleton joints, and kills them. Think rolling in broken glass. It is cheap, and works, but only when it is dry/powder, and completely harmless to mammals. I've heard snakes don't like it, it more or less causes chaffing between their scales, bur doesn't actually hurt them. It doesn't stay powdery well in humid or open to weather area.
Boric Acid/Borax works the same way, I believe.
