It does have a practical and non-recreational use...A baggie with residue attracts and kills ants. I have never read posts noting this feature, so I thought I should share. I am sure it works with other bugs as well. However, I read a novel recently, 'The Roaches Have no King', whose main character is a cockroach. and near the end of the book begins to enjoy the powder, so YMMV if you try to rid an infestation of these buggers.
