Apparently my ants don't read Snopes. It works great for me.

    .

        From Dr. Mercolas Sept 5, 2006 site.
        www.mercola.com <http://www.mercola.com>
GOT AN ANT PROBLEM? Use ASPARTAME. For all the dire health
        problems associated with aspartame -- the worst of them being
        cancer
        <http://www.mercola.com/2006/apr/4/nutrasweet_shown_to_cause_cancer.htm>
        -- the original "anything-but-sugar" substitute may have an
        ideal purpose to exist, not as a food additive, but as an ant
        poison

        Already aware of aspartame's origins
        <http://www.mercola.com/2004/nov/20/aspartame_health.htm> as a
        toxic chemical, a health-conscious consumer with an ant
        problem emptied one packet of aspartame in the corner of each
        of her bathrooms two years ago. The "sweet" solution worked
        brilliantly, as she's seen no signs of carpenter ants crawling
        around for the past year.

        Aspartame may be just the thing for getting rid of fire ants
        (impervious to many poisons) too, although this solution takes
        a bit more effort. Initially, fire ants ignored their
        aspartame treat until a light rain moistened it. After the
        rain, however, the fire ants came back with a vengeance,
        taking the aspartame back to the mound by the hundreds. Within
        two days, any evidence that fire ants existed at all, save for
        an empty mound, vanished.

        No mystery aspartame works like a pesticide, as the asparctic
        acid contained in this toxic product is a well-documented
        excitotoxin that causes specific brain cells to become
        excessively excited to the point they quickly die
        <http://www.mercola.com/2004/may/1/glutamine.htm>, just as
        both kinds of ants did.

        Makes you wonder if aspartame is a far safer, better
        alternative to getting rid of lawn and home pests than the
        average toxic pesticides

        If you ever wanted a painless way to find out all the dangers
        of aspartame you will certainly want to view Sweet Misery
        <http://www.mercola.com/2004/jul/24/sweet_misery.htm>. If you
        are a natural health care practitioner you might want to
        consider showing this in your reception area.
