Yep, I use aspertame as well, with good success on ants. If they don't carry it back, I mix it with apple juice and pour a little out for them to drink. Works every time. Have had success on everything from tiny black ants that look like someone sprinkled pepper on the counter (had to mix with apple juice for them), to huge carpenter ants. Some people have reported it works will with fire ants as well.
