- I received this bit from Dr. Von. Very interesting. I'm
going to try it out on fire ants and see what it does.

- I had a box of nutrasweet left over from a couple of
years ago when I found out how toxic it is. Anyway, I was asking what the
stuff was good for and was told it makes an excellent ant poison. I took
two packets of the "sweetner" and dumped one in the corner of
each of my bathrooms.
-
- The big black carpenter ants that have been plauging
me for the last 10 years disappeared in less than 24 hours, and I have
not seen any more for almost a month now. I had paid Orkin a lot of money
in the past to try and get rid of these things, but they only had limited
success.
-
- When I posted a message about it on one of my mailing
lists, I was told that there is a fellow that repackages neutrasweet and
resells it as ant poison. Thought you would be interested in knowing.

- Jeff,

- I thought you'd like to know I tried the aspartame remedy
for an ant infestation at my office and IT FAILED MISERABLY. I used 2 packets
of a popular aspartame sweetener and the ants ignored it completely. They
don't seem to consider it food. Needless to say, it can't poison them if
they don't eat it.

- having followed the reports of the toxicity of aspartame
after learning about it in 8th grade, i was unsurprised to read the account
of Equal's utility as an insect poison. after suffering several ant invasions
over the past several weeks, i eagerly gave it a try after coming home
to ants swarming over my home PCs. i took several packets of equal and
liberally littered the ants' trails. while the ants appeared to ignore
the white powdery substance, all ants were gone within 1 day's time., a
marked difference from the long lines of insects to and from my workdesk
and the small hole in the baseboards from which the ants emerged. it
does not appear as though the ants eat the substance, as they might flock
towards organic sweeteners, but i strongly attest that i will keep many
packets of Equal on hand for future infestations. repeat : THE ANTS MAY
NOT EAT THE EQUAL, but wait for a day or two.
